Survey Underway in Two Key Areas
The survey was conducted by Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M and other officials in Bulandshahr. The proposed land in the Sikandrabad area of Bulandshahr was inspected, along with land in Jokhabed village, which is set to host a temporary office for the Noida Authority to oversee land acquisition and development activities. The Authority will open a temporary office at a suitable location along the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, where officials and staff from the land records and civil departments will work regularly.
Project Scale and Timeline
The project will be executed in four phases, with the first phase targeting 3,165 hectares by 2027. Subsequent phases will expand the project area, with plans to acquire nearly 21,000 hectares by 2041. The authority notified the area measuring 209.11 square km across 84 villages on October 18, 2024.
Land-Use Framework Approved
The DNGIR Master Plan 2041 allocates 40% for industrial use, 13% for residential, and 18% for green spaces. Other allocations include 4% for commercial use, 8% for public institutions, and the remainder for various development projects. New Noida is designed to accommodate 6 lakh residents.
Engagement Strategy with Landowners
The Authority plans to engage with local landowners, residents, and village leaders to gain their support for the acquisition process. The Noida Authority is preparing to acquire land through a hybrid model combining direct purchase, mutual consent, and land pooling. This model aims to ensure farmer participation, transparency, and fair compensation. In the month of April, the Noida Authority fixed land acquisition rates for the project at Rs 4,300 per sqm.
Strategic Corridor Alignment
Part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), the DNGIR Master Plan 2041 positions the project as a key node for regional industrial growth. Enhanced connectivity via road, rail, and the upcoming Noida International Airport is expected to drive economic growth and infrastructure development. The area benefits from excellent connectivity through road and rail networks, linking it to major urban centers and the Noida International Airport, which is set to begin commercial operations in April 2025.
What Comes Next
During the 215th board meeting of the Noida Authority on October 26, instructions were given to commence land acquisition in the DNGIR area promptly. After this, the meeting on Monday (November 4) was convened to outline the development framework for the region. Officials reported that on November 18, actions will be initiated to procure satellite photos of the New Noida area. Apart from this, local surveys and aerial photography will also be prioritised. An office staffed with revenue inspectors (lekhpals), tehsildars, and naib tehsildars will soon be established to manage and expedite the land acquisition process, starting in villages near the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and GT Road junction, including Jokhabad and Sanwali.
