Greater Noida Authority to Allot Land for Plant Nurseries at 3 Sites

• Over 45,500 sqm of land to be allotted for nursery development

• Licences offered for five years, extendable up to three more based on performance

• Sites located in Alpha I, Alpha II, and Techzone IV

Noida: In a step towards enhancing urban greenery and strengthening horticulture infrastructure, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has invited bids for allotting land at three locations to develop and operate plant nurseries across the city.

The initiative covers a combined area of more than 45,500 square metres and is aimed at improving access to quality plants and saplings while supporting landscaping efforts in residential sectors, public spaces, and along major road corridors.

According to officials, the nursery plots will be allotted on a license basis for an initial period of five years. Subject to annual performance and quality standards, operators may receive an extension of up to three additional years.

Among the proposed sites, the largest parcel—spanning 23,785 sqm—is located at G-4, Alpha II, near Summer Ville School. The second plot, measuring 15,770 sqm, lies at G-1, Alpha I, close to Ashok Vatika. The third site, covering 6,000 sqm, is situated in Techzone IV, opposite Royal Nest and Galaxy Vega apartments.

GNIDA officials said the move is part of broader efforts to increase green cover and ensure steady availability of ornamental plants, shrubs, and saplings for both public projects and private residents. The authority expects the nurseries to play a key role in beautification drives, park development, and roadside plantation programs across Greater Noida.

The bidding process is now open, and selected operators will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and running the nurseries in line with GNIDA’s horticulture guidelines.
