LUCKNOW: The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has cleared key proposals aimed at accelerating development and attracting investments in the Greater Noida and Jewar region.
At the 85th board meeting held on Wednesday, 54 projects were cleared for implementation over the next 15 years, outlining a comprehensive roadmap for the development of Greater Noida and the entire YEIDA-authorised area.
The meeting was chaired by YEIDA chairman Alok Kumar and attended by CEO Dr Arunvir Singh, along with several senior officials and board members. The proposals included crucial decisions related to security, tourism, industrial investment, power supply, rural development, and land allocation. These decisions are considered pivotal for giving a new direction to development in the Yamuna region and are aligned with the objectives of Master Plan-2041.
Notably, 1,149 revenue villages from Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Hathras, Mathura, and Agra fall under the YEIDA-authorised area.
Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr are covered under Master Plan-2041, while the remaining four districts are classified as Phase-2 in the authority’s notified area.
The board approved the construction of a new police station on 1,000 square metres of land in the Noida International Airport area to strengthen regional security.
Plans to develop tourist attractions such as a golf course, gymkhana club, and Yamuna Haat in the recreational green zones of Sectors 22F and 23B were also approved. Additionally, major projects including Kingdom of Dreams, an Olympic Village, theme parks, an aviation museum, Oxford Golf Resort, Delhi Haat, Cubbon Park, and Delhi Gymkhana Club were proposed to be developed under the public-private partnership (PPP) model, with a focus on finalising guidelines for their implementation.
YEIDA also plans to relaunch its highly successful One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme from July 1 to August 31, 2025, which previously generated over Rs 551 crore. The move aims to offer defaulters a chance to clear dues.
Residential, public, institutional, and essential commercial activities have also been planned within a 200-metre radius of rural settlements. The board approved the establishment of an Electronic Manufacturing Cluster (EMC 2.0) in Sector 10, with the support of the central govt. A total of 200 acres of land has been earmarked for this purpose. Special facilities such as data centres, hostels, and skill development centres will be developed to attract international companies.
Additionally, approximately 7,485 square metres of land has been identified for the establishment of fire stations in sectors 18 and 32.
