Noida Authority to Hold Farmer Camps in 37 Villages to Accelerate New Noida Land Acquisition
The Uttar Pradesh government and Noida Authority have prepared a strategy to accelerate the New Noida (DNGIR) project by directly engaging farmers through special camps in 37 first-phase villages, where consent-based land acquisition will be discussed. The government has allocated ₹1,000 crore for land acquisition from Phase 1 villages, and the Noida Authority fixed the land acquisition rate at ₹4,300 per square metre.

What Was Announced
The Yogi government has accelerated work on the massive "New Noida" project under the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR). Special camps will be held in 37 first-phase villages, where land acquisition will proceed based on mutual consent. Officials plan to explain compensation rates, project purpose, and future employment and business opportunities to landowners during the camps.
Who Made the Decision
The Uttar Pradesh state government and the Noida Authority jointly developed the strategy. The authority notified the area measuring 209.11 square km across 84 villages on October 18, 2024. This July 2026 announcement represents an operational escalation of that earlier notification.
Key Numbers
Land will be acquired from 24 villages in Bulandshahr and 13 in Gautam Buddh Nagar in the first phase. ₹1,000 crore has been allocated for land acquisition, and the rate was set at ₹4,300 per square metre. Phase 1 covers 3,165 hectares and runs until 2027. The broader DNGIR spans over 80 villages across Gautam Buddha Nagar and Bulandshahr districts, with approximately 60 villages in Bulandshahr and nearly 20 in Gautam Buddha Nagar.
What Changes for Farmers and Landowners
Farmers will now receive around Rs 4,300 per square metre for land acquisition. Officials say the revised rates match compensation offered by Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority. Earlier lower rates had slowed down land agreements, but authorities now expect much faster progress. The consent-based approach, with dedicated accountants (lekhpals) managing outreach, represents a shift toward direct farmer engagement rather than formal acquisition proceedings.
What Comes Next
After completing the land acquisition process, the Authority will develop infrastructure such as roads, drainage systems, sewage networks, power supply and water pipelines. Then, industrial plots will be marked and allotted to manufacturers and logistics firms. Phase 2 (2027–2032) will add 3,798 hectares for heavy industrial clusters. The full 8,230-hectare build-out extends to 2041.
Project Context
DNGIR was first announced by the State government in January 2021. It is a large-scale plan under Master Plan 2041, aimed at boosting industrial and urban growth along this key corridor. The DNGIR Master Plan 2041 allocates 40% for industrial use, 13% for residential, and 18% for green spaces.
