Uttar Pradesh plans “New Noida” city to address land scarcity due to growth, offering space for residents, industries, universities, and offices. The masterplan includes GIS technology for efficient development, catering to rising demands, and fostering economic progress.
The Uttar Pradesh state authorities are set to commence land acquisition for “New Noida” once the board approves its masterplan this month. The Yogi-led government plans to acquire land for New Noida, an expansion of Gautam Buddha Nagar.
The masterplan for the new city, also known as Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), is in its final stage and is expected to be submitted for approval in August.
Why is there a need for New Noida?
Due to the growing population and increased demand for industries, commercial projects, and urban development, Noida is facing a scarcity of available land for expansion. Consequently, the Noida Authority has taken action by identifying approximately 21,000 hectares of agricultural land in 86 villages across Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts. The authority intends to develop this newly acquired area into a new city.
What is the masterplan for New Noida?
The Noida Authority has allotted Rs. 1,000 crore for land acquisition and internal development in New Noida this year. This newly established city is projected to accommodate approximately 600,000 residents. Furthermore, it is anticipated that New Noida will house a logistics hub, knowledge centers, integrated townships, and skill development centers.
New Noida will feature dedicated areas for industries, offices, universities, and residential purposes. According to initial estimates provided by the authorities, more than 8,100 hectares will be allocated for industrial use and 1,600 hectares for medical and engineering colleges and universities, among others. Additionally, over 2,000 hectares will be designated exclusively for residential projects.
The Noida Authority is currently evaluating three different development models for the growth of New Noida. These includes the license model, which has been implemented in Gurugram. Additionally, there is the Noida-Greater Noida model, and discussions are underway regarding a mixed model.
The School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) is currently preparing the masterplan for this new city, as reported by news agencies. The plan includes designated special economic zones that will cater to industrial units from sectors like agriculture, food processing, and FMCG.
The master plan includes a crucial component, the implementation of a satellite-based Geographical Information System (GIS). This system holds significant importance in driving its development.
What is the vision for New Noida?
The New Noida vision is designed with specific sectors dedicated to various industries, offices, universities, and residential spaces. Its primary objective is to effectively cater to the needs of the ever-growing population.
