One Policy, Three Regions How Gautam Buddha Nagar’s Unified Land Allocation Policy Benefits Investors in Noida, Greater Noida & YEIDA?

The Unified Land Allocation Policy for Gautam Buddha Nagar has been in development for 14 years, aiming to provide a cohesive, transparent framework for industrial land allocation across the Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway regions. As reported by Times of India, A proposal has been introduced to resume work on the policy. The proposal will be produced by Sarc & Associates, a chartered accountancy firm in the coming months.

Why Do We Need a Unified Land Allocation Policy?

The need for a unified approach was felt a decade and a half ago as the three authorities struggled to maintain clear and consistent policies for industrial land allotments. Over the years, the allotment criteria changed multiple times — from that based on objectives to interviews and then e-tenders. Finally, they settled for objective-based criteria. But this back and forth came at a cost — industrial land allotments remained suspended for almost 10 months.

1. Geographic Proximity: Noida, Greater Noida, and YEIDA are neighbouring regions within Gautam Buddha Nagar, sharing not only physical boundaries but also interconnected infrastructure. This close proximity means that developments in one area often impact the others, leading to a need for cohesive policies that ensure streamlined growth and harmonious land use across all three regions.

2. Economic Interdependence: The economies of Noida, Greater Noida, and YEIDA are interlinked, with businesses, industries, and workforce moving fluidly between these areas. An integrated land allocation policy encourages coordinated development that supports this economic interdependence, fostering a stronger local economy that benefits from a shared approach to infrastructure, industry, and commerce.

3. Future Expansion: With rapid urban growth and increased demand for industrial spaces, a flexible, unified policy framework is essential. Such a policy can adapt to future expansion needs that are happening in the vicinity of Bodaki, Jewar and surrounding regions, supporting sustainable development and allowing these regions to grow together in a way that maximizes land utility and prepares Gautam Buddha Nagar for continued economic advancement.

What’s Happening with the Unified Land Allocation Policy?

The new policy integrates land allocation standards across Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA. Previously, each authority operated under different regulations, leading to inconsistent practices and confusion for buyers and developers. Now, a single policy framework will streamline land use approvals and reduce bureaucratic hurdles, enhancing the region's appeal for real estate ventures.
