The Uttar Pradesh governor, through a February 4, 2024, notification has authorised the Gautam Budh Nagar administration to complete the process related to the land acquisition at the earliest.

Yeida needs land for development of this sector, which will be a unique industrial hub near Noida airport. Sector 10 is slated to have five industrial parks -- a plastic processing park, footwear park, handicrafts park, electric vehicle park and transport hub, said officials.

The Gautam Budh Nagar district administration had in January 2023 entrusted Gautam Buddha University (GBU) to carry out a social impact assessment survey of this land. In total, the Yeida needs 600 acres for the development of Sector 10.

“We hope that we will get the land by 2024 end so that we can develop the same and allot it for industrial projects. We have a target to develop five dedicated industrial hubs in Sector 10,” said Arun Vir Singh, chief executive office of the Yeida.

The social impact assessment survey of this land has been completed by GBU, said officials.

“As the social impact assessment survey and other formalities are completed, we will seek objections/suggestions from the public under Section 15 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. We will also implement Section 15 of the act so that no person purchases or sells land notified for acquisition without the permission of the district magistrate,” said Bachchu Singh, additional district magistrate Gautam Budh Nagar.

“Once all formalities are completed as per the rules, we will start distribution of land compensation, and then acquire the land. The acquired land will be handed over to for the purpose for which it was acquired,” he said.
