In a major boost for nearly 40,000 homebuyers stuck in the long-delayed Sports City project of Noida Sector-150, the Supreme Court has cleared the way for construction to restart after almost three years of stagnation. Acting on the settlement reached between the Noida Authority and the project developer, the Court has issued a set of crucial directions that unlock the project’s next phase.

During the hearing, the Solicitor General informed the Court that the Noida Authority will lift the restrictions imposed in its 201st Board Meeting within the next 30–45 days. At the same time, the developer has agreed to clear all pending dues and adhere to a strict construction timeline, which the Court has accepted as part of its interim order.

This landmark decision not only restarts on-ground work but also establishes a clear roadmap for timely completion of the entire township. Sports City is planned as a premium urban hub featuring world-class sports infrastructure, including a stadium, athletic track, swimming arena, and dedicated cricket and football grounds. Sector-150 is also envisioned as Noida’s greenest sector, as highlighted in the Authority’s scheme brochure.

10 Key Points of the Order-

1. Noida Authority to lift the ban within 30–45 days

2. Developer to pay 20% dues within 2 months and remaining 80% in six instalments over 3 years

3. Revised master plan to be submitted within 30 days and approved within 45 days

4. Building plan approval within 20 days

5. Sports facilities to be completed in 3 years, entire housing project in 5 years

6. Noida Authority will retain lien on 20% of units as security

7. Zero period benefit—delay penalty waived from March 2020 to March 2022

8. O.C. (Occupancy Certificate) only after full payment and completion

9. Developer allowed to bring joint venture or co-developer

10. Authority can cancel allotment if terms are violated
