YEIDA Revised Land Allotment And Purchase Rate (2025)
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) held its 84th Board Meeting on March 28, 2025, chaired by Mr. Alok Kumar, Chairman of YEIDA.
The meeting focused on revising land pricing policies, approving a budget for the fiscal year 2025–26, and outlining infrastructure projects to drive growth in Noida and the Yamuna Expressway region.
Key decisions included circle rate hikes, uniform land pricing rules, and massive allocations for projects like the Jewar International Airport expansion. This document serves as a blueprint for YEIDA’s developmental agenda, balancing farmer welfare, investor interests, and infrastructure needs.
The board approved two major resolutions:
A. Revised Land Purchase Rates
YEIDA increased land acquisition rates in Jewar (Gautam Budh Nagar district) to 4,300 per square meter (sqm), inclusive of 100% solatium (compensation for landowners). This applies to villages like Adyakpur, Medanipur, and Biyan under YEIDA’s jurisdiction.
The revision follows a 2016 Uttar Pradesh government order mandating uniform land rates within districts, regardless of market variations. Farmers had long demanded this change, arguing that differing rates for similar land parcels were unfair.
B. New Allotment Rates for 2025–26
YEIDA raised allotment rates across categories to align with infrastructure funding needs. For example:
• Residential land: Increased by 35% (25,900 to 35,000/sqm).
• Commercial land: Rates surged up to 35%, depending on Floor Area Ratio (FAR).
• Group Housing and Corporate Offices: Rates doubled or tripled in some cases.
These hikes aim to standardize pricing, ensure transparency, and generate revenue for projects like the Jewar Airport.
