The Noida-Greater Noida Expressway was closed from 2:15 pm to 2:45 pm on 28 August. Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering, along with their South African partner firm Jet Demolitions, brought down the Noida Twin Towers, employing a controlled implosion technique.

The demolition resulted in 54,000 tonnes of debris, raised noise levels up to 150 db, and led to the formation of dust clouds of up to 4 km.
