YEIDA Fast-Tracks Land Buys to Boost Urban Development

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has initiated a drive to purchase small and scattered land parcels across 18 sectors in the Yeida area to speed up delayed infrastructure and urban development works. Officials said these unacquired plots have obstructed the completion of critical projects, including roads, drainage systems, sewage treatment plants (STPs), and civic amenities.
According to YEIDA officials, around 80 per cent of land in sectors 5, 5A, 8, 8D, 10, 13, 17, 17A, 18, 20, 21, 22A, 22D, 22E, 28, 29, 32, and 33 has already been acquired. However, the remaining 20 per cent remains stuck due to ownership disputes. To resolve this, YEIDA plans to purchase the leftover land directly from farmers in consolidated 10-acre lots, aiming for smoother project implementation. Sector-wise farmer lists are being compiled, and direct negotiations are planned.
"An action plan has been formulated to acquire 100 per cent land in all Yeida sectors. This will not only accelerate industrial activity but also support urban settlement — our immediate priority," said RK Singh, CEO, YEIDA.
The move is vital as several sectors have witnessed a decade-long delay. For instance, many residential allottees in sectors 18 and 20 — allotted in 2009 — have yet to receive possession. Similarly, about 115 industrial allottees in sectors 32 and 33 have been awaiting allotment since 2013. With land acquisition completed, pending plots can be handed over, aiding both industrialisation and habitation.
Crucially, STPs required for upcoming industrial zones are also stuck due to incomplete land acquisition. Projects such as the STP for the medical device park in Sector 28 and the apparel park in Sector 29 — both pivotal to YEIDA’s industrial vision — remain stalled. Sector 28 has also been earmarked for a semiconductor unit. Officials are working to resolve these issues ahead of the launch of commercial flights from Noida International Airport.
