The second scheme will target the general category, with plot sizes ranging from 162 sq m to 300 sq m. The plots will be located in Sector 5-A, close to the Noida International Airport, an area that has witnessed significant real estate interest following the airport's operational launch.
Details and Timeline
Officials say final details on plot numbers, application schedule and allotment process will be announced closer to the October 2026 launch. YEIDA has not yet confirmed the total number of plots across both schemes or the pricing structure.
New Eligibility Restriction
Following strong demand for earlier schemes, YEIDA plans to introduce a fresh eligibility condition. To provide opportunities for new buyers, YEIDA plans to introduce a fresh eligibility condition. The new rule will bar anyone already allotted a residential plot under any previous YEIDA, Noida Authority or Greater Noida Authority scheme from participating in these schemes.
Context: Strong Demand for Earlier RPS-10 Scheme
The upcoming schemes follow the strong response received for YEIDA's residential plot allotment announced earlier this year. In June 2026, the authority allotted 973 residential plots through a draw of lots near the Noida International Airport. The scheme, launched in April, attracted 1,10,034 valid applications, reflecting the growing demand for residential land in the region. The ratio of applications to available plots—approximately 113:1—demonstrates the intensity of demand near the airport corridor.
Airport Catalyst
Real estate activity in the Yamuna Expressway region has accelerated following the commencement of operations at Noida International Airport. Passenger flight services began on June 15, while the cargo terminal became operational on June 17, improving regional connectivity and strengthening investor confidence.
What Happens Next
YEIDA is expected to release a detailed brochure and scheme advertisement in the coming weeks outlining the exact number of plots available, application fees, registration amounts, payment schedules and the timeline for the draw of lots. As of August 2026, specific pricing for the Sector 5A schemes has not been disclosed; rates will likely be announced with the official launch materials.
