Avery Dennison is setting up a new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant at a reported investment of US$ 34 million (approximately Rs 250 crore) in a part of Greater Noida called the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Developing Authority (YEIDA). A manufacturer of labelstocks in India since 1997 with several sites in operation, 12 acres of land allotted have been allotted for the new site. The new industrial area is described as Greater Noida but is just a bit further south and near the upcoming Yamuna city and the new Jewar airport that should be ready in a couple of years.

Food and snacks manufacturer and retailer Haldiram has also received a large plot in the same industrial area, which is across the river from Delhi in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government expects the combined investment of Avery Dennison and Haldiram to be in the region of about Rs. 500 crore. Mobile phone maker Vivo has been allotted 169 acres of land in YEIDA’s sector 24A and is expected to invest Rs. 5,200 cores (approximately US$ 690 million) to set up its plant there.
