The Noida Authority is preparing to start land acquisition for New Noida, formally called the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), within the next 7 to 10 days, the News18 reported, citing an official statement.
Four revenue officers, soon to be five, will survey land across the first set of 37 villages, signalling the on-ground launch of a development plan spanning two decades.
New Noida covers 209.11 sq km across 84 villages, with 63 in Bulandshahr and 21 in Gautam Budh Nagar, notified on 18 October 2024. The opening phase takes in 37 of them, including Jokhabad, Sanwali, Kaithara, Kishanpur, Muradabad and Nawada.
Compensation has been set at Rs 4,300 per sq m, in line with rates fixed for the Noida International Airport project.
The rate was revised upward following Supreme Court intervention over stalled compensation disputes, with the Authority clearing farmer compensation on par with Yamuna Authority rates during its 222nd board meeting.
Revenue officials will first identify khasra numbers, ownership records and inheritance claims for each plot.
Once land is in hand, the Authority will lay roads, drainage, sewage, power and water lines before allotting industrial plots.
Around 40 per cent of the total area is set aside for industry, 13 per cent for housing and 18 per cent for green and recreational use, with schools, hospitals and a sewage treatment plant among the planned amenities.
The master plan envisages a population of about 600,000 and is aimed at easing pressure on Noida, which has neared saturation.
Acquisition will roll out in four phases, running from 3,165 hectares by 2027 to 8,230 hectares by 2041.
