What has been reported
An official of YEIDA has said that five new industrial factories are going to be set up in Yamuna City. The Hindi-language report places the combined investment at around ₹450 crore and links the units to an estimated 4,300 jobs, while its headline cites a larger figure of 4,500 people in employment.
The units will make ready-made garments, automobile parts and corrugated packaging material. Local production of these goods is intended to reduce reliance on supplies from outside the region, and the factories are meant to add manufacturing activity to a city that is being planned as an urban and industrial centre in the National Capital Region.
Where the land is
YEIDA has allotted plots to the five units in different sectors. Three ready-made garment factories are to be built in the Apparel Park in Sector 29, which the authority has been developing for textile and apparel makers. The automobile-component and packaging units are placed in Sector 8D.
A separate allotment event at the UP International Trade Show 2026 lists Perfectpack Limited with 16,200 sq m of land, a proposed investment of ₹1.25 billion and 700 expected jobs. That list covers five projects in total, and it is the same packaging company the local report names among the new units.
Wider context for Yamuna City
The five factories sit within a larger set of industrial moves at YEIDA. In August 2026, the authority approved a 300-acre Taiwan City in Sector 6 for electronics, semiconductor and ICT companies, a 500-acre medical hub in Sectors 13 and 14, and a planned 100 to 125-acre pharmaceutical formulation cluster also in Sector 6.
Earlier, YEIDA reported that it had handed possession to 136 companies in Yamuna City after allotment in the 2025-26 financial year, with a combined projected investment of close to ₹31,000 crore and more than 50,000 jobs.
What comes next
Allotment is the step that gives a company rights to a plot; the next stage is building. For the group of 136 companies, YEIDA stated that they could begin construction once they had building maps and construction approvals. The five new units are expected to follow a similar path, though the reports do not give a date for approvals or for production.
Readers should treat the ₹450 crore and 4,300-job figures as company and authority projections. The jobs will only exist once the plants are built and running, and the plants themselves will be tracked against their approvals and construction progress as they move forward.
