New Noida Land Acquisition Underway in 37 Villages for 209 Sq Km Manufacturing Hub
New Noida land acquisition is underway in 37 priority villages, according to Awanish Kumar Awasthi, advisor to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who spoke on October 18, 2026. The project, officially the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), is planned as a manufacturing and logistics hub in the National Capital Region. It is being developed under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) framework.
New Noida land acquisition: key figures
| Reading | Detail | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Planning area | About 209 sq km across 84 villages | Larger than existing Noida, per Awasthi |
| District split | 63 villages in Bulandshahr, 21 in Gautam Buddh Nagar | Spans two districts |
| Phase 1 | 37 villages: 24 in Bulandshahr, 13 in Gautam Buddh Nagar | Acquisition underway |
| Industrial share | About 40.27% of area, roughly 84 sq km | Industry-led plan |
| Phase 1 target | About 3,165 hectares by 2027 | About 15% of total area |
The 84 sq km industrial share is calculated by applying 40.27% to 209.11 sq km. The phase 1 land of 3,165 hectares equals about 31.65 sq km, or about 15% of the planning area.
An industry-led plan
Awasthi said the project would mark a shift from the residential-focused model followed in Noida and Greater Noida. Master Plan 2041 earmarks about 40.27% of the total area for manufacturing and heavy logistics, he said. Reports on the master plan show about 13% for housing and 18% for green and recreational use, with a planned population of about 6 lakh by 2041. The development is meant to create space for manufacturing units, warehouses and logistics infrastructure and to expand industrial capacity in the NCR.
Freight corridor and logistics links
Awasthi said the main advantage is the location near Dadri, where the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors connect. The corridors are designed to speed freight movement between industrial centres, ports and major markets. He also said the city is planned to integrate with two projects at Boraki, the Multi-Modal Logistics Hub and the Multi-Modal Transport Hub, to strengthen freight movement and regional connectivity.
Status of the project
The Uttar Pradesh government notified the investment region in October 2024, and Master Plan 2041 has been approved. The region is planned to be developed in four phases up to 2041. Reports show the Noida Authority began preparing to acquire land in the first 37 villages in mid-2026, with revenue officers deployed to verify land records. This article does not state any compensation rate because reports differ.
What to Watch
- Completion of phase 1 land acquisition, which reports say is targeted for about 3,165 hectares by 2027.
- Further notifications from the Noida Authority on later phases up to 2041.
