YEIDA Notifies 410% Additional Compensation in Six Villages for New Noida Township Land

What was decided

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has begun acquiring land for the proposed New Noida township by issuing notifications to landowners in six villages of Gautam Budh Nagar, offering compensation equivalent to 410% of the prevailing circle rate. The process commenced in the past week after the Uttar Pradesh government granted approval for the acquisition.

The first phase covers the villages of Dujana, Makhanpur Khadar, Tugalpur, Khubbanpur, Manni Nagla and Parsaul, where land has been identified for the industrial township. The authority stated that acquisition proceedings have formally begun and compensation will be paid in accordance with the state's land acquisition policy.

YEIDA Chief Executive Officer Arun Vir Singh said the authority had initiated the acquisition immediately after receiving the necessary government approval. Notifications have been issued to affected landowners, and further acquisition will continue in phases as the project progresses.

The project this land is for

The acquisition follows approval from the Uttar Pradesh government and marks the first phase of securing land for the industrial city planned across Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts, conceived as an integrated manufacturing and logistics hub linked to the Noida International Airport, intended to accommodate industrial, commercial and residential development.

New Noida has been planned as a large integrated industrial township spanning around 209 sq km across 80 villages in Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr. Approximately 80 sq km falls within Gautam Budh Nagar, while the remaining area lies in Bulandshahr district. The master plan for the township was prepared by the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, and is intended to strengthen industrial development around the Noida International Airport and the Yamuna Expressway corridor.

Nearly 40% of the total land has been earmarked for industrial use, with the remaining area allocated for housing, roads and other supporting infrastructure.

Which authority is actually acquiring this land — an important discrepancy

Readers should note a conflict in current reporting. The notification covered here is described in press coverage as issued by YEIDA — an authority whose core mandate covers the Yamuna Expressway corridor and the area around Noida International Airport at Jewar, not the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR) itself.

Separately, and more widely reported, the DNGIR / New Noida project — first announced in January 2021 and formally notified in October 2024 — is described across multiple outlets as being led by the Noida Authority, not YEIDA. New Noida covers 209.11 sq km across 84 villages, with 63 in Bulandshahr and 21 in Gautam Budh Nagar, notified on 18 October 2024. The Noida Authority will begin land acquisition for the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), commonly known as New Noida, in August, marking the next stage in the development of the proposed smart city and industrial hub.

It is possible the six-village notification is a separate, YEIDA-run acquisition drive for land within Gautam Budh Nagar that feeds into the same broader New Noida footprint, given YEIDA had also acquired land in Yamuna City's Sector 5A to facilitate the expansion of infrastructure linked to the Noida International Airport earlier in the year. However, no notification number, board resolution, or official YEIDA/Noida Authority press release confirming this specific six-village order could be independently verified beyond the single news report reviewed for this record. Investors and landowners should treat the YEIDA attribution and the 410% figure as reported, pending confirmation from an official authority notice.

Compensation rates reported for the wider New Noida acquisition

For context, separate and more widely corroborated reporting on the main DNGIR/New Noida land acquisition (led by the Noida Authority) cites a different, specific per-square-metre rate rather than a percentage uplift. Earlier this year, the Noida Authority fixed the land acquisition compensation at ₹4,300 per sq m, aligning it with the revised rates adopted by the Yamuna Authority for areas surrounding the Noida International Airport project. The rate was revised upward following Supreme Court intervention over stalled compensation disputes, with the Authority clearing farmer compensation on par with Yamuna Authority rates during its 222nd board meeting.

This ₹4,300/sq m figure and the 410% additional-compensation figure in the six-village YEIDA notification are not confirmed to be the same rate expressed two ways — they come from different reports about what may be different acquisition actions. Both are recorded here as reported, without reconciling them, since no single official document showing both figures together was found.

Scale and phasing of the broader New Noida project

The Uttar Pradesh government notified 209.11 sq km across 84 villages for the project in October 2024, with 63 villages in Bulandshahr and 21 in Gautam Buddh Nagar. In the first phase, land from 37 villages—24 in Bulandshahr and 13 in Gautam Buddh Nagar—will be acquired. DNGIR, a proposed investment region under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, will be developed in four phases up to 2041.

The master plan envisages a population of about 600,000 and is aimed at easing pressure on Noida, which has neared saturation. Acquisition will roll out in four phases, running from 3,165 hectares by 2027 to 8,230 hectares by 2041.

DNGIR—named after the three areas it connects: Dadri, Noida, and Ghaziabad—was first announced by the State government in January 2021, and the area lies around 24 km from Ghaziabad, 33 km from Noida, and 32 km from Jewar.

Practical effect for landowners and investors

For the roughly six villages named in the YEIDA notification (Dujana, Makhanpur Khadar, Tugalpur, Khubbanpur, Manni Nagla and Parsaul), the notification means acquisition proceedings have formally started and landowners can expect to be approached with compensation offers under the stated 410% additional-compensation formula, pending physical verification.

For the wider New Noida/DNGIR project, separate consent-based acquisition is being organised by the Noida Authority. Officials said revenue staff, including lekhpals, will undertake detailed field surveys to verify land ownership records, co-ownership details, inheritance claims, and existing land use. Physical verification will also document boundaries, agricultural activity, structures, roads, and other assets before acquisition proceedings move forward.

No RERA registration, allotment schedule, or plot-level layout for the six villages has been published as of the report date, and none should be assumed to exist yet. This is a land-acquisition notice, not a plot booking or allotment announcement.
