Bollywood is coming to the Yamuna Expressway. The International Film City at Sector 21, near the upcoming Noida International Airport, has moved decisively toward construction after securing regulatory approvals and financial closure.

Phase 1 at a glance

• Area: approximately 240 acres
• Investment: ₹1,500 crore
• Developer: Bayview Projects LLP — a joint venture between filmmaker Boney Kapoor and Bhutani Infra
• Focus: studios, sound stages, post-production facilities, training institutes and permanent outdoor sets

An ecosystem, not a standalone studio

Bhutani Infra CEO Ashish Bhutani said the aim is “to create an integrated ecosystem rather than a standalone studio complex,” with commercial development deferred until core film infrastructure is complete.

Real estate ripple effect

Media-led employment, hospitality and tourism are expected to lift housing demand across YEIDA sectors and the wider expressway belt — reinforcing interest in projects such as Eldeco Echoes of Eden and Godrej Crown Residences. Explore the full Yamuna Expressway corridor.
