3/29/2025 10:28:00 AM
Noida: Noida Authority increased its land
allotment rates by 6% for residential,
institutional (IT, ITES and data centres) and
industrial categories. Rates for commercial
properties,
however, remain unchanged.
Residential plots in A+ sectors—premium
areas like sectors 14A, 15A and parts of 44—
remain steady at Rs 1.75 lakh per sqm, for
other areas plot prices now range from Rs
51,000
per sqm to Rs 1.3 lakh per sqm, with an
increase of Rs 3,000 per sqm to Rs 7,500 per
sqm.
Revised group housing plot rates range from
Rs 73,320 to Rs 1.94 lakh per sqm, an increase
of Rs 4,150 to Rs 11,000 per sqm. Institutional
land rates have gone up by Rs 1,910 per
sqm to Rs 4,400 per sqm and range between
Rs 33,670 per sqm and Rs 77,620 per sqm.
For IT, IT-enabled services (ITES) and data
centres, the allotment rate in key sectors like 1,
16A, and 24 has gone up from Rs 73,220 per
sqm to Rs 77,620 per sqm. In Phase 2, the
price has increased from Rs 26,000 per sqm to
Rs 27,560 per sqm, while in Phase 3, the cost
has risen from Rs 37,340 per sqm to Rs 39,580
per sqm.
For institutions such as nursery schools and
colleges, the cost of land will be 50% of the
rate of the nearest residential sector if allotted
through an interview process. Meanwhile, for
nursing homes, hospitals, and diagnostic
centres, plots will be allocated through an e-
auction, with the rate matching that of the
residential category in the respective sector.
The revised industrial land rates in phase 1
were increased in the range of Rs 50,340 per
sqm to Rs 77,620 per sqm, depending on the
plot sizes. This is an increase of Rs 2,850 per
sqm to Rs 4,400 per sqm. In phase 2 areas,
land rates have risen from Rs 20,480-Rs 39,000
per sqm to Rs 21,710-Rs 41,340 per sqm. In
Phase 3, the rate has increased from Rs
30,480-Rs 56,010 per sqm to Rs 32,310-Rs
59,370 per sqm.
Currently, the Authority has 66,867 sqm of land
in its bank to allot for industrial use, 3 lakh sqm
for institutional use, 9,686 sqm for residential
use, 91,820 sqm for group housing and
10 lakh sqm of land for commercial purposes.
The plots are likely to be allotted in the new
fiscal year.
Noida Authority has, meanwhile, approved an
Rs 8,732-crore budget for 2025-26, an increase
of Rs 1,299 crore from the previous year, with
the bulk of the spending going to
infrastructure (Rs 2,410 crore) and the new
international airport (Rs 1,600 crore). It has set
a revenue target of Rs 9,008 crore.
It will also spend Rs 2,229 crore on the
maintenance of civic facilities and Rs 224
crore on village development in the new
financial year.
In 2024-25, the Authority's budget outlay was
Rs 7,433 crore with a revenue target of Rs
7,713 crore. Till March 25, it collected Rs 6,809
crore, which is 88% of its revenue target. The
shortfall, officials said, was mainly due to
delays in property allotment schemes and
outstanding dues from builders.
The Authority spent only Rs 3,032 crore by
March 25, slightly over 40% of its 2024-25
budget.
The Authority had allocated Rs 1,000 crore for
the development of New Noida (DNGIR) but
was unable to utilise the funds. Similarly, Rs
475 crore was set aside for metro expansion
through Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC),
but no projects took off. Of the Rs 2,431 crore
allocated for development projects, only Rs
475 crore was spent by Feb 28.
Subsequently, the Authority adjusted its
financial plans for the upcoming year. In its
2025-26 budget, Rs 250 crore has been
allocated for land acquisition in Noida.
However, the
budget for New Noida has been drastically
reduced from Rs 1,000 crore to just Rs 10
crore, reflecting the lack of progress in the past
year.
