Yeida Acquires 5,200 Acres to Develop New City Sectors

10 Jun 2025 CW Team

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) has acquired over 5,200 acres of land in the past five years to support a series of ambitious development projects near the upcoming Noida International Airport, which is expected to begin operations soon.

Yeida announced plans to expand its land bank for the development of four new sectors — 4A, 5, 5A, and 11 — covering a mix of residential, industrial, and institutional projects. The authority aims to purchase an additional 5,000 acres directly from around 2,000 farmers through a voluntary sale process.

“We are speaking with farmers who are ready to sell. The land acquisition process is ongoing,” said Arun Vir Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Yeida.

Sector 4A will house the Korean City, requiring 365 acres, while the Japanese City will be established in Sector 5A across 395 acres. Sector 11 will feature the 750-acre Fintech City, and Sector 5 is planned for group housing and residential developments, with provisions for social infrastructure like a children's home and orphanage.

Yeida’s urban plan allows for integrated land use in the Japanese and Korean zones — combining industrial, commercial, residential, and institutional areas. This integrated approach will facilitate the construction of homes, hotels, malls, and offices, creating self-sufficient urban environments.

“The goal is to ensure all essential facilities are available within these cities so that Japanese residents can feel at home while preserving their cultural identity,” said Singh. “With the airport nearing completion, we are accelerating the rollout of these flagship projects.”

The proximity of these new sectors to the Noida International Airport is expected to significantly boost their appeal, making the area a strategic hub for international business, innovation, and smart urban living.
