The rapid development of the Noida International Airport region continues to attract homebuyers and investors, as the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) successfully allotted 973 residential plots through a draw of lots. The allotment process witnessed an overwhelming response, highlighting the growing appeal of the airport-led development corridor in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Launched in April 2026, the residential plot scheme generated extraordinary interest from applicants across various categories. According to YEIDA officials, the authority received more than 110,000 valid applications for just 973 plots, resulting in an average of approximately 113 applicants competing for each plot. The remarkable participation reflects increasing confidence in the region’s infrastructure growth and long-term investment potential.
The allotment draw was conducted at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida under a transparent process. Officials ensured that the event was monitored by an allotment committee and independent observers, including retired judges, while the entire procedure was photographed, videographed, and broadcast live. Names of eligible applicants were placed in separate drums according to categories, and winners were selected through a manual draw process.
Among the various plot sizes offered, 200-square-metre plots attracted the highest demand. More than 57,000 applications were submitted for 481 plots in this category alone. The 162-square-metre plot category also witnessed strong interest, receiving nearly 49,000 applications. Larger plot sizes, including 223-square-metre and 290-square-metre plots, also recorded significant participation despite limited availability.
The residential plots are located across Sectors 15-C, 18, and 24 near the newly operational Noida International Airport in Jewar. The airport’s commencement of commercial flight and cargo operations has significantly enhanced the attractiveness of the surrounding region. Improved connectivity, expanding industrial activity, and large-scale infrastructure investments are expected to drive sustained demand for residential and commercial developments in the area.
Under the allotment terms, successful applicants must pay the full premium amount within 60 days of receiving the allotment letter. In specific circumstances, an extension of up to 30 days may be granted. The plots are being allotted on a 90-year lease basis. Certain reservations were also provided for farmers, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, persons with disabilities, and industrialists operating functional units near the airport.
The strong response to the scheme underscores the transformation of the airport region into a major economic and residential destination. With increasing employment opportunities, industrial growth, and enhanced transportation infrastructure, demand for housing is expected to remain robust.
Recognizing this momentum, YEIDA officials have indicated plans to launch additional residential plot schemes in the near future. As the Noida International Airport area evolves into a prominent urban and industrial hub, it is likely to remain one of the most sought-after real estate destinations in northern India.
