Noida Authority Plans to Allot 85 Acres in Sector 150 at 2012 Rates, Farmers Raise Objections
The proposed allotment of 85 acres in Noida’s Sector 150 under the Sports City project has triggered concerns over land acquisition, compensation and the use of land occupied by farmer families.
- Noida Authority is considering allotting 85 acres at the 2012 rate of ₹12,050 per square metre.
- Families from three villages claim parts of the land are inhabited and have sought the Chief Minister’s intervention.
- The proposal has raised questions about land acquisition procedures, allotment rules and potential revenue for the Authority.
Noida: The Noida Authority is considering a proposal to allot approximately 85 acres of land in Sector 150 to builders associated with the Sports City project at the allotment rate applicable in 2012. The issue has drawn attention because the proposed rate is ₹12,050 per square metre, while the current market value of land in the area is reportedly around ₹5 lakh per square metre.
The land in question is associated with Gadhi Samastipur and Momnathal villages in Sector 150 and Kondli Bangar village in Sector 149. Residents from these villages have objected to the proposed move, claiming that parts of the land have not been acquired and include existing residential settlements.
Around 1,500 farmer families are reportedly living in the affected areas. The dispute has raised concerns about residents’ rights, the legality of the proposed allotment and the financial implications for the Authority.
According to reports, the proposal involves acquiring the remaining land in the three villages before allotting it to builders at the older rate. However, the reported sequence of events has raised questions about whether the land acquisition process and other mandatory formalities have been completed.
Under the procedure described in the reports, land acquisition would need to be followed by the preparation of a sector layout plan and an appropriate allotment process. An auction could also be considered as a means of allocating land and potentially securing better returns for the Authority.
The proposal has reportedly faced disagreement among some board members, with the board meeting rescheduled several times. The meeting was initially planned for October 23 and subsequently moved to October 24, October 26 and October 28. The precise reasons for the postponements and the proposal’s current status require confirmation from the Authority.
Several villagers have approached Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, seeking intervention over the proposed allotment. In their complaint, villagers Jinendra, Pramod, Dashrath and Ajay reportedly questioned the inclusion of inhabited land in the Sports City project.
They have argued that land forming part of existing residential settlements should not be treated in the same manner as unoccupied land without examining its legal and acquisition status. The villagers have sought an investigation into revenue records, land acquisition documents and the boundaries of existing settlements. They have also demanded appropriate action against officials if any irregularities are established.
The central issue is whether the land proposed for allotment has been legally acquired and whether the interests of families living on it have been adequately addressed.
According to reports, the developer wrote to the Noida Authority on September 7, 2026, requesting the allotment of land adjoining its existing plot. A second letter, dated September 24, reportedly sought completion of the acquisition process for the remaining land in the three villages and compensation for the affected farmers.
The proposed allotment rate has also raised questions about the financial implications for the Authority. The reported figures suggest that allotment at ₹12,050 per square metre would be substantially below the area’s reported market value of approximately ₹5 lakh per square metre. However, the final financial implications would depend on the exact land area, applicable allotment terms, acquisition costs and the legally permissible rate.
Noida Authority officials have reportedly declined to comment on the matter. An official clarification would be important to establish the proposal’s precise terms, the status of land acquisition and the basis for using the 2012 rate.
The controversy is linked to an older land allotment associated with the Sports City project in Sector 150. According to the reported history, possession of approximately 9,07,987.81 square metres of land under plot SC-01 was handed over on March 28, 2011, at a rate of ₹12,050 per square metre.
The original plan reportedly involved allotting around 8 lakh square metres to the builder. The developer subsequently divided the larger plot into 27 portions and sold them to other builders, according to the report. The matter has remained unresolved for years and has reportedly involved proceedings before the Supreme Court.
The long-running dispute adds another layer to the current proposal, particularly regarding the status of the remaining land, the rights of the affected families and the obligations of the parties involved.
The next significant step is the reported consideration of the proposal at the Noida Authority board meeting. Any decision will need to be assessed against the applicable land acquisition framework, existing residential claims and the conditions governing the original Sports City allotment.
For the affected families, clarity on land ownership, acquisition notifications, compensation and settlement boundaries will be crucial. For the Authority, transparent disclosure of the proposal and its financial and legal basis could help address concerns surrounding the allotment.
As of the information available in the supplied report, there is no confirmed final decision or official statement establishing that the proposed allotment has been approved. The outcome will depend on the Authority’s decision and the resolution of outstanding questions over the land’s legal status.
