GNIDA Gives Plumeria Garden, Migsun Ultimo One Month for Fire NOCs
GNIDA has extended the deadline for two Omicron 3 housing societies to secure fire safety clearances, easing immediate electricity disconnection concerns for more than 1,800 families.
- GNIDA has granted both societies an additional month to obtain the required fire NOCs.
- Plumeria Garden Estate and Migsun Ultimo together house more than 1,800 families.
- Residents have raised concerns over pending builder documents and delays in fire safety approvals.
Greater Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has granted a one-month extension to Plumeria Garden Estate and Migsun Ultimo in Omicron 3 to obtain their pending fire safety no-objection certificates (NOCs).
The decision follows an earlier directive to Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) to disconnect electricity to the two residential societies over alleged fire safety compliance gaps. The extension gives residents additional time to address the outstanding requirements without facing immediate disconnection under the earlier schedule.
The issue escalated after NPCL issued notices on October 10, 2026, warning residents that their electricity supply could be disconnected on October 13. The notices followed a letter sent by GNIDA to the power distribution company on October 7, citing the absence of the required fire NOCs. Residents subsequently approached the authority and requested additional time to complete the approval process.
According to information provided by NPCL, Plumeria Garden Estate houses approximately 704 families and receives electricity through a single-point 33 kV connection. Migsun Ultimo has around 1,108 families and operates through a multi-point 11 kV connection.
The proposed disconnection had raised concerns among residents, who questioned why families could face disruption to an essential service over documentation and compliance issues. Residents and apartment owners’ associations have also sought clarity on the specific deficiencies identified by the authority and the responsibilities of the developers who originally handed over the projects.
Dev Prakash Verma, acting secretary of the Plumeria Garden Estate Apartment Owners’ Association (AOA), said the society had fire safety arrangements in place and had conducted mock drills. He also stated that the association had contacted the builder regarding outstanding paperwork, including the fire NOC, which he said had not been handed over to the previous AOA.
Verma argued that residents should not bear the responsibility for deficiencies arising from documents that remained pending after the handover. He also raised concerns about coordination with the authority and said the association had written to GNIDA seeking clarification.
Residents of Migsun Ultimo have similarly questioned the transparency of the authority’s survey. A group of residents met GNIDA officials to discuss pending fire NOCs for three towers.
Resident Mahesh Sharma attributed some of the delays to frequent transfers of senior fire department officials. Residents argued that administrative changes should not lead to the threat of electricity disconnection while the approval process remains incomplete.
Following discussions with residents, Saurabh Bhardwaj, senior manager in GNIDA’s electrical and maintenance department, issued letters granting both societies an additional month to obtain the required fire clearances.
The extension provides a temporary window to complete the pending formalities. However, it does not remove the requirement to secure the certificates or establish that all fire safety obligations have been met.
The development also highlights the need for clearer coordination between builders, apartment owners’ associations, fire authorities and the development authority when mandatory approvals remain outstanding after possession.
Both societies will need to work towards securing the required fire NOCs within the extended deadline. This may involve submitting pending documents, addressing any deficiencies identified by the relevant authorities and completing the necessary inspection or approval procedures.
Residents will also be looking for clarity on the responsibilities of the builders and the associations in obtaining the outstanding certificates. The outcome over the coming month will determine whether the societies can meet GNIDA’s requirements and avoid further action related to electricity supply.
For residents, the priority is to ensure that fire safety compliance is completed without unnecessary disruption to essential services. The extension offers additional time, but the issue will remain unresolved until the required clearances are obtained.
