the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has launched a fresh housing plot scheme in Sector 18, Pocket 9B.
The initiative offers 276 plots, each measuring 200 square metres, aimed at homebuyers and investors eyeing this fast-emerging development zone in Uttar Pradesh.The plots, located along the strategically positioned Yamuna Expressway, are priced at ₹35,000 per square metre, amounting to ₹70 lakh per plot. A registration amount of ₹7 lakh—constituting 10 percent of the total premium—is required at the time of application. The balance payment must be made within 60 days of receiving the allotment letter.YEIDA has confirmed that allotments will be made through a manual draw process scheduled for 11 July 2025. The application window, which opened on 21 April, will close on 21 May 2025.
With real estate activity surging around the airport zone, this scheme is expected to attract both end-users and long-term investors. The region’s potential is being significantly redefined by infrastructure projects, improved connectivity, and policy-led incentives encouraging decentralised urban growth.Only Indian citizens and NRIs who have attained the age of majority and are legally eligible to contract are allowed to apply. Importantly, applicants—or their immediate family members—must not already own or have been allotted a residential plot or flat by YEIDA in the past. Dual applications by spouses will result in mandatory surrender of one of the plots within a month of allotment, or else both allotments risk cancellation.
The registration and application process is entirely digital, in line with the authority’s push for paperless, transparent operations. Applicants must submit all required documentation and pay the ₹600 application fee through YEIDA’s official online portal.
Successful applicants will be expected to begin construction within three years of executing the lease deed. All construction must follow the authority’s prevailing building norms and environmental guidelines. Occupancy certificates must be obtained within the same period. While extensions may be granted, they will incur additional charges.This development scheme comes amid a notable revision in land pricing by YEIDA. In a move that reflects the area’s accelerating value, residential plot rates have jumped by nearly 35 percent from ₹25,900 per sqm to ₹35,000 per sqm this year.YEIDA officials see this residential offering as a timely intervention in a market that is rapidly evolving due to the anticipated operationalisation of the Noida International Airport. The airport, once functional, is expected to generate large-scale employment and boost demand for affordable yet strategically located housing.
For urban planners and sustainability advocates, this scheme presents a crucial opportunity. If complemented by green construction, equitable infrastructure planning, and inclusive zoning, this could evolve into a model township aligned with India’s smart city and net-zero carbon goals.
As the city continues to grow beyond its traditional borders, this scheme positions YEIDA at the helm of building equitable and environmentally conscious urban futures in the NCR region.
