What was approved

The Noida Authority announced on 9 October 2026 that it had approved the revised master layout plan for Sports City in Sector 150. The plan had been through board meetings on 3 January and 6 April, a public objection notice in February, vetting of the sports facilities by the Sports Authority of India in June, and a formal approval letter in May.

Land use: 70% for sports, recreation, institutional uses and open space; 29.5% residential; 0.5% commercial.
Conditional OCs: four group housing projects within Sports City received conditional occupancy certificates after paying their pending dues. Reports name the developers as Brick Rise Developers, Ace Infracity, Land Kart Builders and Samridhi Infra Square.
Earlier in 2026 the authority had lifted its five-year bar on occupancy certificates and registries in Sports City projects, following Supreme Court guidelines issued in November 2025.

Background

Sports City plots were allotted with a condition that developers would build sports infrastructure alongside housing. Most built the apartments but not the facilities, and an audit later flagged large dues and violations. The authority then stopped issuing OCs and registries, leaving thousands of buyers – estimates range from about 8,000 to 20,000 – unable to get legal title, even in finished towers.

What it means for buyers

For buyers in projects that have now received conditional OCs, the path to registry is open once remaining conditions are met. For others in Sports City, the layout approval is a necessary step but not a clearance: each project still has to settle its dues and meet its sports-infrastructure obligations. Reports note the authority holds a lien on a share of unsold units as security in some cases.

What to check

Whether your project is one of the four with a conditional OC, and what conditions apply.
Your developer’s dues status with the Noida Authority.
For resale buyers in Sector 150, whether the society falls inside Sports City or in a regular group housing plot – the title position differs.
Registry timelines announced by the authority after the conditions are met.

Several well-known Sector 150 societies sit on regular group housing plots outside Sports City, so not every Sector 150 address was affected by the freeze. Buyers should check the plot’s allotment category in the lease deed or with the authority.
