Noida: Noida Authority will begin land acquisition for its Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region project, also called New Noida, in Aug, with lekhpals set to conduct ground surveys across 37 villages identified for the first phase. Of these, 13 villages are in Gautam Buddh Nagar and 24 in Bulandshahr, including Jokhabad, Sanwali, Birondi Fauladpur, Birondi Tajpur, Kaithara, Kishanpur, Muradabad and Nawada.Officials deployed for field-level work will identify the land revenue records, co-ownership details, and inheritance claims. A subsequent physical survey will verify boundaries, existing land use, crops, structures, roads and other assets.Authority’s officer on special duty (OSD) Kranti Shekhar said the land acquisition process will start in seven to 10 days. “The govt has deployed four revenue officers, and a fifth will also be appointed to expedite the process,” he said.
Located 32km from Noida International Airport, New Noida is expected to serve as a major economic corridor linked to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor
New Noida — a planned smart city and industrial hub spanning 209 square kilometres across 84 villages in Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr — was notified on Oct 18, 2024. Designed to ease pressure from rapid urbanisation in Noida, it will serve as a major economic corridor linked to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, itself part of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. The connectivity is expected to strengthen the region’s logistics network and improve transport links between the NCR and the industrial belts of Haryana.In April this year, Noida Authority fixed land acquisition rates for New Noida at Rs 4,300 per sqm, matching the revised rates set by Yamuna Authority for the Noida International Airport project.Under the development plan, the Authority will develop infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, sewage networks, power supply and water pipelines in these areas after land acquisition is completed. Subsequently, industrial plots will be demarcated and allotted to companies, manufacturers and logistics firms. Nearly 40% of the total land area has been earmarked for industrial purposes.The Authority plans to develop the area in four phases, with the first phase covering an area of 3,165 hectares, scheduled for completion by 2027. The following phases will see a substantial increase in land area, with an additional 3,798 hectares to be developed between 2027 and 2032, followed by 5,908 hectares by 2037, and finally, 8,230 hectares by 2041.
