About Greater Noida
The city is home to several universities and educational institutions, including Gautam Buddha University, as well as major exhibition and convention facilities such as India Expo Mart. The Yamuna Expressway, a controlled-access highway, begins in Greater Noida and runs south toward Agra, making the city a key gateway to the Taj Mahal and other destinations in Uttar Pradesh. The Buddh International Circuit, a motorsport race track, is located nearby along the same expressway.
