NCR to get New Noida: From affordable housing to industrial space, this is what the new city will look like
New Noida City will develop in four phases, starting in 2024, focusing on residential, industrial, and logistics zones. Spanning 209.11 sq km and incorporating 84 villages, it aims for balanced residential distribution and affordable housing for industrial workers by 2041.
The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has given the final nod for developing New Noida, a well-planned city adjacent to Greater Noida. The New Noida city, planned to be developed by 2041, will be based on 84 villages in Gautam Buddha Nagar and Bulandshahar districts.
New Noida City will be developed in four phases, with the first one starting this year. The phase-wise development of the city as Dadri Noida Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR) will also include establishing residential areas, commercial spaces, industrial zones, educational institutions, hospitals, mandi, and other areas. Here are all the details about New Noida.
Where will New Noida City be located?
The New Noida City will be developed in 209.11 square kilometres and include 84 villages. The New Noida city development plan also includes two industrial areas, i.e., Sikandrabad Industrial Area I and Sikandrabad Industrial Area II.
The DNGIR area will be close to the upcoming Jewar International Airport and neighbouring industrial townships of Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway, according to the Draft Master Plan for DNGIR, 2041.
Important projects near DNGIR New Noida city
A few key projects being developed near the DNGIR New Noida City are the Industrial Township at Greater Noida, the Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) at Boraki and the Multi-modal Logistics Hub (MMLH) at Greater Noida.
Residential property plan of New Noida City
The Noida City Master Plan envisions an even distribution of residential areas to cater for the needs of EWS, LIG, MIG, and HIG categories. Affordable housing near industrial areas will ensure residential space for the industrial workforce at reasonable rates. Under the Noida City Master plan, around 13.44 per cent of the city's area is for residential use, including 7 per cent for informal settlements. Meanwhile, 9 per cent of the area is designated for industrial worker housing.
The industrial areas of New Noida City will be transformed into integrated industrial townships, offering workspaces, housing, and other essential amenities. Policies like the Integrated Industrial Township Scheme and the ‘UP Private Industrial Park Scheme’ are expected to accelerate the creation of residential pockets in these sectors.
What would the New Noida City look like?
The proposed DNGIR will be developed mainly in three zones: Northern, Central and Southern.
Land under the Northern zone will mainly be residential, and the Central Zone will be a mix of residential and industrial areas. Meanwhile, the Southern Zone will mainly be an industrial and logistics hub.
