YEIDA to Launch New Plot Scheme Near Noida International Airport in 2026
The wait for affordable residential plots near the upcoming Jewar Airport is finally over. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has confirmed the launch of the YEIDA New Plot Scheme in January 2026. This highly anticipated housing scheme opens the door for investors and homebuyers to own prime real estate in one of India’s fastest-developing corridors.
With the Noida International Airport set to become operational shortly after the scheme’s launch, the timing for this investment opportunity could not be better.
This latest initiative promises to release 973 residential plots through a transparent allotment process, making it a golden opportunity for those who missed out on previous draws.
The authority has focused on mid-sized, high-demand plot categories for this launch. Here is a quick breakdown of what is on offer:
- Launch Date: January 2026 (Pending UPRERA Registration)
- Total Plots: 973 Units
- Prime Locations: Sector 24A, Sector 18, and Sector 15C
- Allotment Mode: Lucky Draw (Lottery System)
- Expected Price: Approx. ₹35,000 per sq. meter
Detailed Plot Sizes & Availability
Unlike some previous schemes that focused on large luxury plots, the YEIDA New Plot Scheme is tailored for mid-segment buyers. The inventory is heavily weighted towards 162 sqm and 200 sqm plots, which are the most liquid and in-demand sizes in the region.
| Plot Size (sq. m) | Number of Plots | Primary Location |
| 162 | 476 | Sector 18 & 24A |
| 200 | 481 | Sector 18 & 24A |
| 183 – 290 | ~16 (Mixed) | Various Pockets |
Note: Sector 24A is a mixed-use sector located strategically near the International Film City and the F1 Track, offering immense future appreciation potential.
Why This YEIDA New Plot Scheme Creating a Buzz?
At a base rate of approximately ₹35,000 per sq. meter, a standard 200 sqm plot will cost around ₹70 Lakhs. Compare this to the secondary (resale) market in older sectors where prices often hover between ₹60,000 to ₹80,000 per sq. meter. This scheme offers an instant “paper profit” for successful allottees.
The “Airport Effect”
The Noida International Airport (Jewar) is the anchor for this region’s growth. With test flights already conducted and commercial operations expected to sync with the scheme’s allotment timeline, infrastructure is no longer a “future promise”—it is a visible reality.
Transparent Allotment
The allotment will be conducted via a Lucky Draw, ensuring a fair chance for all applicants. Unlike e-auctions where the highest bidder wins, this method keeps the plots accessible to middle-class families.

Conclusion
The YEIDA New Plot Scheme arriving in January 2026 is more than just a housing launch. It is one of the final opportunities to enter the Jewar market at authority rates. With limited inventory of just 973 plots and high demand fueled by the airport’s completion, competition will be fierce.
Prospective buyers should keep their documents ready and funds liquid by late December 2025 to ensure they don’t miss the application window.
