Land rates in YEIDA area soar with Jewar airport coming up

25 Jul 2022 CW Team

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area, where the Jewar airport is coming up near Noida in Uttar Pradesh, is currently the most in-demand area in India, and has registered 38 per cent rise in land rates in three years, the highest in the country.

A report released by real estate researchers Anarock showed that the average prices of plots on Yamuna Expressway, which stood at Rs 1,600 per square foot in 2019, have now risen to Rs 2,200 per sq ft.

“The sharp rise in prices in the YEIDA area is the result of the construction of the Jewar International Airport. This is the highest land price rise that a micro market has seen among the top seven cities,” Anarock vice chairman Santhosh Kumar said. The chief executive of YEIDA and Noida International Airport Ltd, Arun Vir Singh, said the prevailing market rates of land in YEIDA are much higher than the circle rates at which YEIDA is offering plots.

“Our current circle rate for YEIDA is Rs 18,510 per sq m. The market rates for these plots, we have learned, is around Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per sq m,” Singh said.
