The Noida authority plans to buy land directly from farmers to develop the "New Noida" town in five phases, projected to have a population of 600,000 by 2041. The master plan for the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment region will include industries, residential areas, recreational green spaces, and institutional and mixed-land use. The town will have world-class connectivity and the first phase is set to begin by the end of 2024. The Noida authority plans to purchase approximately 21,000 hectares of agricultural land from neighbouring villages.
The Noida authority plans to purchase approximately 21,000 hectares of agricultural land from 60 villages in the neighbouring Bulandshahr district and 20 villages in Gautam Budh Nagar.
The Noida authority, in its master plan for the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment region (DNGIR), also known as “New Noida,” will directly buy land from farmers to develop the town, which will be built in five phases near Bulandshahr’s Sikandrabad and is projected to have a population of at least 600,000 by 2041, officials aware of the matter said on Monday.
The New Noida will be built in five phases starting in 2024 and will be completed by 2041, according to the master plan. We will buy land directly from farmers, first from landowners with land along main roads, and then from land parcels located along smaller roads in the Sikandrabad area of Bulandshahr,” said an official of the Noida authority with knowledge of the plan, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to discuss it.
We will finalise the master plan 2041 for DNGIR by the end of October and send it to the Uttar Pradesh government for final approval,” said the Noida authority’s general manager, Leenu Sehgal.

Officials said that the general public can write their objections to the main administrative building in Sector 6 or via mail to ceo@noidaauthorityonline.com. The general public can view a copy of the DNGIR master plan 2041 at the Sector 6 office reception from 9.30am to 6pm until October 15, and they can also provide feedback during the same hours.
