UP Government Approves ‘New Noida Plan’ Featuring Global City Standards and Olympic Park

                 UP govt approved two master plans listing development projects to be carried out by Noida Authority and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) over the next 
15 years.
The Noida master plan 2041 focuses primarily on the expansion of the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), commonly referred to as New Noida. The project will 
involve acquiring land from 80 villages across Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts.

It was in Aug last year that the Authority board approved the plan. After public feedback, it was submitted with the state govt, which granted its final approval last week.New Noida will 
come up in four phases – the first one across 3,165 hectares by 2027. Between 2027 and 2032, another 3,798 hectares will be developed, followed by 5,908 hectares by 2037 and 
8,230 hectares by 2041.
The Authority has so far allocated around Rs 1,000 crore for land acquisition.Of the total land, 40% is designated for industries, 13% for residential development, and 18% for green 
areas and recreational spaces.

The new city, designed to accommodate around 6 lakh residents, will also have commercial zones covering 4% of the total area and institutional areas spanning over 8% of the land.
YEIDA’s master plan will include 55 villages of Bulandshahr, taking the total area to be covered by it to 226 – 131 of them from GB Nagar.

The area covered by phase 1 of the project has been increased from 583sqkm initially to 769sqkm. As a result of this expansion, the population in the YEIDA region is expected to 
reach 37 lakh by 2041.
A major highlight of this master plan is the expansion of the aviation hub around Noida airport in Jewar, with the total area dedicated to the airport increasing from 5,000 to 6,286.7 
hectares. Apart from expansion of the airport, industrial units related to aviation, such as those involved in aircraft engine manufacturing, will be established in the region.The plan also 
introduces two new land-use categories – multiple use hospitality and multiple use industrial, both of which will be developed near the airport.

These areas will combine residential and industrial zones, providing housing for workers and space for industries.To prevent illegal constructions around the airport, land will be 
acquired for industrial sectors 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, and multi-use sectors 7, 8, and 31B. Additionally, land has already been allocated for hospitality sectors like 23G, 23I, and 23E.
The master plan area has been extended up to the Delhi-Howrah route, with a proposal for direct railway connectivity, and a logistics hub spanning 1,500 hectares adjacent to Chola 
station near the airport railway line.

The plan will include provision for an Olympic Park in sectors 22F and 23B, where Olympic-level sports infrastructure will be developed. Furthermore, two new sectors — Sector 4A 
(365 hectares) and Sector 5A (395 hectares) — are planned for multiple land-use industries, with proposals for the development of a Korean City in Sector 4A and a Japanese City in 
Sector 5A.
