YEIDA to launch 973 plots near upcoming airport.
Rising demand and prices boost regional real estate appeal.
Allotment via RERA-approved scheme and transparent lottery system.
The Noida International Airport is in the final phases of completion, with test runs and checks being run through. This airport has played a vital role in reshaping the real estate setting in the Noida-Greater Noida region. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is launching a scheme in January 2026 aimed at harnessing the real-estate momentum in the locality. YEIDA is planning to offer 973 residential plots within the range of the airport, which is expected to be operational in February 2026. These plots are varied in size and located in sectors 15C, 18, and 24A.
This initiative comes at a time when the region is witnessing an all-time high in investor interest. Real estate prices have skyrocketed in the region in the past few years as infrastructure developments like the airport, new transit plans, and new city projects gain momentum.
According to a Colliers report, 'Infrastructure & Mega Projects: The Key Enablers of Urban Expansion in India,' land prices near the Jewar township are expected to grow by nearly 50 per cent by 2030.
Plots, Eligibility, and Reservations
The properties offered by RERA are varied in size, catering to a broader range of investors and homebuyers. Plot sizes that are offered range from 162, 183, 184, 200, 223, and 290 square meters. This allows buyers to select based on their budgets and intended usage.
As a way to provide social equity to farmers, this scheme has reserved 17.5 per cent of the total land for the farmers whose land was acquired for development. Another 5 per cent is set aside for industrialists who are functioning in the YEIDA area. The remaining 77.5 per cent is available for the general public.
Launch and Registration
To ensure compliance with the regulations and to maintain market transparency, YEIDA is seeking formal registration with the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UPRERA) before it formally rolls out this scheme. Once UPRERA issues the registration number, required for any reliable and trusted project or scheme in the city, applications for people will be open.
Prospective buyers must pay 10 per cent of the plot cost upfront as a registration fee in the allotment process. The final allotment will be conducted through a lucky draw system to ensure fairness and transparency in the process.
Local Real-Estate Outlook
Across the Yamuna Expressway route, prices of land have increased sharply as the airport project nears completion. "Jewar is emerging as one of the fastest-growing real estate micromarkets, driven by robust economic growth prospects fueled by key infrastructure developments such as the Jewar Airport (Noida International Airport), metro extension, and themed city projects," as stated by the Colliers report.
For homebuyers and investors, YEIDA's new plot schemes represent an opportunity in Jewar's real-estate landscape. With Noida International Airport on the horizon, infrastructure and real estate have experienced an acceleration. However, the success of this scheme depends entirely on the growth of other developing projects in the regions, like Metro connectivity to Jewar, International Film City, Multi-Modal Logistics Hub (MMLH), etc.
