YEIDA to Launch New Housing Scheme Near Noida Airport

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is poised to announce a new housing plot scheme in the next financial year to cater to the growing demand for residential plots in proximity to the upcoming Noida International Airport. This move comes as real estate demand in the region continues to rise, with investors and homebuyers eager to capitalise on the development surrounding the airport and the surrounding areas.

The housing plot scheme, expected to be launched in Sector 18 along the Yamuna Expressway, will offer prime plots for residential development. The new scheme is expected to follow the completion of the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) registration process. While official details are yet to be released, this will be YEIDA’s third housing plot initiative after the success of the two previous schemes launched in 2024.

The first scheme, launched in July 2024, offered 361 residential plots and received over 200,000 applications, highlighting the immense demand for housing near the Noida International Airport in Jewar. The second scheme, introduced in November 2024, provided 451 residential plots, and this also saw significant interest, with over 100,000 applicants vying for a chance to own land in the burgeoning region.

Real estate experts believe that these developments are key to meeting the increasing housing demand, which is closely tied to the rapid infrastructural transformation of the region. As the Noida International Airport is expected to commence operations by April 2025, the demand for residential and commercial real estate in Jewar is likely to surge.

Real Estate Surge in Jewar

The real estate market in Jewar, once a small town along the Yamuna Expressway, is experiencing a meteoric rise. According to a report by Colliers India, land prices in Jewar have already seen a 40% increase over the past five years, and this is projected to rise another 50% by 2030. This surge is attributed to several key infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Noida International Airport, the extension of metro lines, and large-scale development plans like the International Film City and other industrial projects.

Jewar’s proximity to Delhi, Noida, and Agra, facilitated by the Yamuna Expressway, has given it a distinct advantage as a strategic investment destination. With land prices increasing from ₹5,000 per square foot in 2020 to ₹7,000 in 2024, this emerging market is seen as a hotspot for investors. Colliers India’s report predicts land prices could rise to ₹10,482 per square foot by 2030, making it one of the most lucrative real estate markets in the country.

The development of YEIDA city, metro extensions, and the establishment of international and industrial projects have been instrumental in transforming Jewar into a prominent township. As a result, the demand for housing and commercial real estate in the area is only expected to increase. YEIDA’s upcoming housing plot schemes will play a significant role in addressing this demand, with the potential to provide 25,000 to 30,000 housing units upon allotment.

Infrastructure Boosts Demand

The real estate surge in Jewar is a direct consequence of significant infrastructure developments in the region. The Noida International Airport, which is slated for inauguration in 2025, is the biggest driver of this urbanisation, positioning the town as a prime location for residential and commercial properties. The airport’s strategic location along the Yamuna Expressway allows for easy access to the national capital, Delhi, and other major urban hubs, further enhancing its attractiveness to both domestic and international investors.

In addition to the airport, the expansion of the metro network and the development of an International Film City are contributing to the growing appeal of the region. These large-scale projects are fostering a dynamic environment conducive to long-term urbanisation. The continuous improvements in infrastructure are likely to result in a sustained rise in property values, making Jewar an ideal destination for both homebuyers and developers.

Sustainability and Urban Growth

With Jewar’s real estate market expanding rapidly, the importance of sustainable urban development cannot be overstated. While infrastructure growth is essential for the region’s development, it is equally important to ensure that urbanisation is sustainable. As new housing projects are launched and new developments spring up, careful planning must be undertaken to preserve the environmental integrity of the region.

Sustainable urbanisation can be achieved by prioritising green building practices, energy-efficient construction, and public transport integration. With initiatives like the Metro Line expansion and the ongoing development of eco-friendly infrastructure, Jewar has the potential to set an example for sustainable growth in India. By adopting these principles, YEIDA and developers in the region can ensure that Jewar’s rapid urbanisation benefits both the environment and the community at large.
