Yamuna Expressway to have 16 new sectors over next two decades

The areas around the Yamuna Expressway, which anticipate an economic windfall from the Noida International Airport in Jewar, will have 16 new sectors over the coming two decades to provide an estimated population of 43 lakh.

These new sectors will be included in the 2041 master plan of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), which governs the area.

Officials told the media that these 16 sectors would be bigger than the existing ones off the expressway and would have a lower population density. A total of 32,168 hectares will be built over the coming two decades.

As per the master plan, the new sectors will have a population density of 126 people per hectare compared to 150 people now.

Four peripheral roads of 120 m in width will be built to link the 16 sectors with the urban areas in Noida, Greater Noida and so on. These apart, four arterial roads of 100 m in width will criss-cross the sectors.

Presently, there are 33 sectors under the Yamuna Authority. Officials told the media that they planned to build the new sectors as a “smart city” with zero carbon footprint. Mars Planning and Engineering Services, the private consultant preparing the master plan, has been asked to comprise these concepts.

As per the officials, 20 villages of Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr would be taken in the first phase of the master plan. The new plan would benefit about 43 lakh people by 2041 — 33.2 lakh in the residential sectors, 1.8 lakh on mixed land and over 8 lakh in the villages. Of the 16 new sectors, four will have mixed land use while five others would be formed exclusively for warehouses, logistics parks, and so on. Along with hotels and industries, two sectors will be built to accommodate the workers.

YEIDA additionally aims to dedicate five sectors for creating affordable housing along with a central business centre. Officials told the media that the business centres would be spread across 950 acres and accommodate malls, hotels and clubs, besides private firms.

Arun Vir Singh, the YEIDA CEO, told the media that the new plan would be placed for clearance at the board m

eeting slated at the end of this month.
