Catering to the rising demand for residential spaces near the upcoming Noida International Airport, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) plans to launch a housing plot scheme in January 2026. Under the initiative, YEIDA will offer 973 residential plots across sectors 15C, 18, and 24A, ranging in size from 162 sq m to 290 sq m, with prices averaging ₹35,000 per sq m.

The scheme includes reservations for farmers and local industrialists, and successful applicants will be selected through a lucky draw following registration with the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UPRERA), according to a report by the Hindustan Times.

There are 476 plots of 162 square metres (sqm), 04 plots of 183 sqms, 4 plots of 184 sqms, 481 plots of 200 sqms, 6 plots of 223 sqms, and 2 plots measuring 290 sqms being offered under the scheme.

These plots will be allotted in sectors such as 15C, 18 and 24A in close proximity to the Noida international airport project, expected to become operational in February 2026, officials told the Hindustan Times newspaper.

“We’ve directed the staff to complete all formalities related with this scheme including seeking registration for the same from the Uttar Pradesh real estate regulatory authority (UPRERA) as is mandatory before a housing scheme launch. Once the UPRERA issues a registration number, the Authority will launch the scheme for those who want to buy a residential plot along Yamuna Expressway, where the airport will become a reality shortly,” RK Singh, chief executive officer, Yeida, said.

When will the scheme be launched?

The Authority has decided to launch the scheme in January 2026, as the UPRERA will also issue a registration for the project by then, said officials.

How to apply?

Each applicant interested in applying for a plot will be required to pay 10% of the cost as registration money, after which they can participate in the lucky draw that will be held to determine the successful allottees. The Authority will provide a month for applicants to register before the allotment, following which allotment letters will be issued and possession of the plots will be offered.

The authority has also provided reservation in this scheme for farmers, and the industrialists who have their industrial plots in Yeida area (Yamuna City) provided they have made their units functional, said officials.

The Authority has reserved 17.5 percent plots for the farmers, whose land has been acquired for the development, and 5 percent plots are reserved for those, who have functional industrial units in the Yeida area. The rest 77.5 percent of the plots are reserved for the general category of people, the paper said.

YEIDA has also allotted a total of 65 industrial plots in different categories in the last 1 year and collected revenue of ₹2,200 crore out of these schemes that include medical device park, and industrial projects in different sectors.
