The Noida Authority is preparing to begin the initial land acquisition process for the proposed New Noida region, a large-scale development project planned on the outskirts of the NCR. Officials said the exercise is expected to start next month and will cover 37 villages during the first stage.
The project, officially called the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), is being developed as a new industrial and urban centre aimed at supporting future economic growth in western Uttar Pradesh.
Authorities have chosen a consent-based model for acquiring land from farmers. Compensation has been fixed at Rs 4,300 per square metre, in line with rates announced earlier for areas linked to the Noida International Airport project.
“Noida Authority has requested govt to deploy three tehsildars in the area to facilitate land acquisition. It will also set up a temporary office in New Noida for this,” said Noida OSD Kranti Shekhar.
Officials said villages from both Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts have been included in the opening phase. Areas such as Anandpur, Belakarpur, Kot, Milak Khandera, Phoolpur and Sainthali are part of the Gautam Budh Nagar list, while Birondi Faizpur, Birondi Tajpur, Kolbda, Kishtara, Kishanpur, Muradabad and Nawada are among the villages identified in Bulandshahr.
The notified region covers close to 209 square kilometres across 84 villages. Out of these, 63 villages are located in Bulandshahr district and 21 fall under Gautam Budh Nagar. According to Census 2011 figures, the population within the proposed investment zone is estimated at over 1.5 lakh.
Officials involved in the project said the location has been considered strategically important because of its proximity to Noida, Ghaziabad and Jewar. The site lies roughly 24 km from Ghaziabad, 33 km from Noida and around 32 km from Jewar.
The investment region has also been included among the proposed nodes planned under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), a national infrastructure programme focused on industrial and manufacturing expansion.
After the acquisition process is completed, the Authority plans to begin infrastructure work in phases. The proposed development includes roads, drainage systems, sewage lines, electricity infrastructure and water supply networks. Industrial plots are expected to be allotted later to manufacturing units, logistics operators and private businesses.
The overall project has been divided into four development phases extending up to 2041. Around 3,165 hectares are proposed in the first phase, while another 3,798 hectares are expected to be added by 2032 under Phase 2. The remaining phases will cover 5,908 hectares and 8,230 hectares respectively.
Planning documents show that industrial activity has been allocated the largest share of land use at 40%. Residential development will account for 13% of the area, while 18% has been reserved for green and recreational spaces. Commercial use has been marked at 4%, and 8% of the land has been allocated for public and institutional facilities.
At its last board meeting, the Authority decided to acquire the land through mutual consent.
“Land for Noida airport was also acquired after taking the consent of farmers. We are hopeful that the farmers will give their land for the project. If we face a problem in land acquisition on the ground, Noida may take other available measures,” the OSD added.
Officials said the project is expected to play a major role in shaping future industrial and urban expansion in the region.
