What is happening

Uttar Pradesh’s plan for New Noida – formally the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR) – has moved to land acquisition. A report on 18 October 2026, citing an adviser to the Chief Minister, said acquisition was under way in 37 priority villages in the first phase. Earlier, in July, officials had said surveys of these villages would begin within days.

Area: about 209 sq km (roughly 21,000 hectares), across 80-86 villages in Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts, depending on the source.
Compensation: reported at Rs 4,300 per sq m, in line with rates fixed for the Noida International Airport project.
Master Plan 2041 phasing (as reported): about 3,165 hectares by 2027, 3,798 by 2032, 5,908 by 2037 and 8,230 by 2041.
Focus: manufacturing and industry, with a large share of land earmarked for industrial use, under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor framework.

What it means for property

New Noida lies beyond the existing Greater Noida and Dadri areas, along the GT Road and Bulandshahr side. For now it is farmland. The first effects will be on agricultural land prices in and around the notified villages, and on demand for housing in nearby Greater Noida sectors and Dadri from people working in new factories once they open.

Risks for buyers

Once a master plan is notified, private land sales and construction inside it are restricted. Plots sold by colonisers in these villages without authority approval can turn out to be illegal.
Acquisition timelines in UP have often stretched for years because of compensation disputes.
Housing in New Noida itself will mostly come through authority schemes and allotted group housing plots, years from now.

What to check

Before buying any land or plot near the area, check whether it falls inside the notified New Noida boundary and its land use under Master Plan 2041.
Avoid unapproved plotted colonies marketed as “New Noida” or “near DNGIR”.
For buyers in Greater Noida, watch for road and transit links planned between New Noida and the existing city, which will matter more than New Noida itself in the near term.

Industrial cities take decades to fill. Buyers should plan around the timelines of specific employers, roads and transit announced for New Noida rather than the 2041 end-state of the master plan.
