Noida Authority Starts Land Acquisition Across 37 Villages

• Land acquisition to begin next month through a consent-based model
• First phase covers 37 villages across Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr
• Industrial development to occupy nearly 40% of proposed New Noida area

Noida: The Noida Authority has formally started preparations for land acquisition under the ambitious New Noida project, officially known as the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR). The first phase of the development will involve acquiring land across 37 villages in Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts, marking a major step toward the region’s planned urban and industrial expansion.

According to officials, the acquisition process is expected to begin from next month and will primarily be carried out through a consent-based purchase model. The authority aims to avoid delays often linked with compulsory acquisition procedures and instead focus on direct negotiations and mutual agreements with landowners.

The first phase includes 24 villages in Bulandshahr and 13 villages in Gautam Buddh Nagar. Villages identified in Gautam Buddh Nagar include Anandpur, Bel Akbarpur, Kot, Milak Khandera, Phoolpur, and Sainthali. In Bulandshahr district, villages such as Birondi Fauladpur, Birondi Tajpur, Kokhabad, Kaithara, Kishanpur, Muradabad, and Nawada are among those selected for the initial acquisition drive.

To speed up administrative work and revenue coordination, the authority has requested the Uttar Pradesh government to appoint three tehsildars specifically for the project. Officials also confirmed that a temporary field office will soon be established within the New Noida region to assist farmers, manage paperwork, and streamline acquisition-related procedures.

The New Noida project is one of the largest planned urban expansion initiatives in the National Capital Region. Spread over 209.11 square kilometres across 84 villages, the project area includes 63 villages in Bulandshahr and 21 villages in Gautam Buddh Nagar. The investment region received official approval in October 2024 and forms part of the first phase of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) programme.

Authorities believe the strategic location of New Noida will play a crucial role in attracting industries and investments. The proposed city enjoys strong connectivity with Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, which is expected to become a major economic catalyst for western Uttar Pradesh.

Under the master plan, development will be carried out in four phases up to 2041. The first phase, targeted for completion by 2027, will involve the acquisition of around 3,165 hectares of land. The second phase is planned till 2032 with 3,798 hectares, while the third and fourth phases will cover 5,908 hectares and 8,230 hectares respectively by 2037 and 2041.

The land-use blueprint highlights the authority’s focus on industrial growth. Nearly 40% of the total land has been reserved for industrial activities, making it the largest allocation under the project. Around 13% will be used for residential sectors, while 18% has been earmarked for green belts and recreational spaces. Commercial zones will account for 4%, and public and institutional infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and government facilities will occupy approximately 8% of the total area.

In April this year, the Noida Authority fixed the land acquisition compensation rate at ₹4,300 per square metre. The rate aligns with compensation policies adopted in nearby airport-linked development areas under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).

Following the acquisition process, the authority plans to begin large-scale infrastructure development, including roads, drainage systems, sewage networks, water pipelines, and power supply infrastructure. Industrial and logistics plots are expected to be offered to companies and manufacturers in later stages to boost employment opportunities and economic activity in the region.

Urban development experts believe New Noida could emerge as one of North India’s biggest industrial and residential growth corridors over the next decade, especially with increasing demand for integrated townships and logistics hubs near the upcoming Jewar airport.
