YEIDA Clears Rs 100 Billion Noida Film City Plan

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has approved the revised layout plan for the ambitious Noida Film City project, clearing the way for the Rs 100 billion (approx. USD 1.2 billion) venture after earlier objections. The approval, granted on 10 June, follows the rectification of environmental and safety compliance issues by the developer consortium led by film producer Boney Kapoor.

YEIDA had initially rejected the proposal on 27 May due to violations of designated green areas and the absence of mandatory no-objection certificates (NOCs). These issues have now been resolved, with the developer submitting updated land use plans, fire safety clearance, and structural stability certification. Additionally, the revised plan ensures that 15 per cent of the total area will be maintained as green cover.

YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh confirmed the approval, stating that the revised layout fully aligns with land-use regulations and necessary compliance standards. However, he clarified that the approval applies only to Phase 1 of the project, which covers the industrial zone.

The first phase spans 80 acres and will house a film institute and production studios. Overall, the Noida Film City project will cover 230 acres in Sector 21, with 155 acres allocated for industrial use and 75 acres for commercial development. Within the industrial portion, 21 acres have been reserved for the institute, while the remaining 134 acres will host various film-related infrastructure.

The concession agreement stipulates that large-scale commercial construction can begin only after 15 per cent of the core film infrastructure—comprising studios, production units, and the film institute—is completed. These facilities are expected to be operational within three years.

YEIDA's nod marks a major step forward for the project, aimed at positioning Noida as a leading hub for film and media production in India.
