Steps to finalise a development framework and launch the project were outlined at the meeting chaired by Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M and attended by other senior officials.
Any new construction in the designated area after the master plan’s approval on October 18 will be considered illegal and action will be taken against those violating it, said Lokesh. “Preparations for aerial photography and surveys for the first phase are expected to begin soon, providing essential data to inform the project’s early stages,” the CEO said.
The meeting also focussed on ways to handle critical tasks such as drafting land acquisition proposals for the initial phase, identifying priority projects, and overseeing planning and execution.
To facilitate project operations, the CEO also directed to set up a temporary office along the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, which runs from Sonipat to Palwal and passes through Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad, where land records and civil department personnel will manage field activities. “We have also made a request for additional government staff for timely execution of the project,” Lokesh said.
Last month, the Noida Authority Board instructed officials to start the land acquisition process for DNGIR. The authority has allocated around Rs 1,000 crore for initial land acquisition.
Of the total land for the project, 40% is designated for industries, 13% for residential development, and 18% for green areas and recreational spaces. The new city has been designed to accommodate around 6 lakh residents and will comprise commercial zones covering 4% of the total area and institutional areas spanning over 8%.
The New Noida area includes 80 villages across Gautam Buddha Nagar and Bulandshahr districts. Its development has been planned in four phases and is to be completed by 2041.
