The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) is set to cancel the allotment of 130 industrial plots in Greater Noida after allottees failed to complete mandatory registration despite repeated notices. The authority had last month issued notices to 366 industrial plot allottees, directing them to finalise registration within a stipulated timeframe.

Following a review of responses, Yeida has decided to initiate cancellation proceedings against defaulting allottees for non-compliance with allotment norms, officials said, as part of efforts to ensure timely industrial development and prevent land hoarding.

According to the authority, out of the 366 allottees, 76 have so far registered their industrial plots while 58 allottees have responded, but have not submitted the necessary documents for registration. Cases of the remaining allottees are reported to be pending for various reasons.

Yeida officials said that despite industrial plots being allotted a long time ago, in many cases, neither the registration has been completed nor have industrial activities commenced.

“Action will be taken against those allottees who have not yet responded, as per the rules. A meeting will soon be held at the authority level to review all pending cases and cancellation will be processed,” Nagendra Pratap Singh, the authority’s additional chief executive officer (ACEO), said.

“The authority’s objective is not to harass anyone unnecessarily, but to ensure that the objectives for which the industrial plots were allotted are fulfilled. We appealed to the allottees to complete the registration process in a timely manner and to inform the authority if they are facing any problems,” Singh said.
