YEIDA (Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority) has emerged as a prime investment hub in 2025. It spans 165 km, linking Noida’s outskirts to Agra, and is integrated into mega-projects like the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and Dedicated Freight Corridor. Crucially, the upcoming Jewar International Airport – slated to be one of Asia’s largest – lies just minutes from the expressway. This is already driving a land rush: for example, developers have paid around ₹5–6 crore per acre for nearly 390 acres near Jewar in the past year. With low base prices (residential plots ≈₹65–90K/sq.m) and strong government backing (infrastructure projects, housing and tax incentives), YEIDA is poised for massive appreciation (150–250% growth on key plots by 2030). Both local NCR buyers and overseas NRIs are showing heightened search interest and demand for YEIDA properties.
Major Infrastructure: Yamuna Expressway provides direct access to Delhi/Noida/Agra, and connects to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and DMIC, creating a logistics corridor.
Jewar Airport: The new Noida Int’l Airport (Jewar) will open by 2024–25, catalyzing residential, commercial and warehousing demand. A 750m elevated road will link it directly to the expressway.
Emerging Projects: A 230-acre Film City (Sector 21) has been approved. Nearby, sports/tech parks and industrial estates are in planning or construction.
Affordable Pricing: YEIDA plots cost much less than central NCR. For example, YamunaProp notes residential plots at ~₹16,000–30,000/sq.m, compared to much higher rates in Noida/Gurgaon. Early buyers enjoy big upside.
Government Support: UP/YEIDA schemes (affordable housing, PMAY, etc.) and plot auctions (e.g. 2025 YEIDA Plot Scheme) build buyer confidence.
Sector-specific Opportunities
Residential & Mixed-use (Sectors 18, 20, 22D, etc.)
These are YEIDA City’s prime zones. Sectors 18 and 20 are earmarked for new townships, hotels and mixed-use projects under the Master Plan. Indeed, YEIDA’s 2025 plot scheme offers residences in sectors 16, 17, 18, 20 and 22D. (For example, 3,000 EWS plots of 30m² each are being allotted in Sectors 18/20 for Delhi’s low-income families.) Sector 22D, in particular, is a large affordable-housing enclave (over 4,400 new units planned) and new private projects are launching there. These sectors are only minutes from Jewar Airport and the expressway, making them very popular for family homes and NRIs seeking secure plotted investments.
Commercial (Sector 18/20 hubs)
The Master Plan 2031 explicitly sets up commercial zones in Sectors 18 and 20 (for hotels, convention centers, shopping malls, offices). Builders are launching retail malls and office complexes here to serve the airport and new townships. These plots are ideal for steady rental income as demand from travelers and businesses grows.
Industrial & Warehousing (Sector 28, 29, 32, 33)
YEIDA’s industrial districts (notably Sector 33 and adjacent sectors) are planned for 5–10 acre factory/warehouse parks. Major companies in EVs, electronics, pharmaceuticals and logistics are acquiring land here (Patanjali’s big food park is nearby in Sector 24A, for example). Proximity to the DMIC and freight corridor means products can ship efficiently. Land in Sector 33 is already being snapped up, and demand for large industrial plots remains strong.
Agricultural / Abadi Land
For local buyers, Kisan-quota / abadi plots are available at low prices (around ₹30 lakh–₹1 crore per bigha). These are freehold and outside the expressway zone. Note: NRIs cannot buy agricultural land directly, but resident investors often purchase and then transfer through legal channels.
Jewar Airport Influence
The upcoming Jewar International Airport is a 6-runway, greenfield airport on the Yamuna Expressway. When operational it will handle tens of millions of passengers yearly. Infrastructure (fuel farms, cargo terminals) and ancillary businesses (logistics, MRO, hotels) are being planned around it. Realty media report that the airport has already acted as a “powerful magnet,” with huge land transactions (390 acres sold for ≈₹2,340 Cr).
A 750m elevated road will connect the airport directly to the Yamuna Expressway, slashing travel time to Delhi/NCR. Future metro and road links (planned to Greater Noida and Noida City) will further integrate the airport area. This means sectors adjacent to Jewar (like Sectors 18–22D) instantly benefit from airport-driven traffic and employment.
Land very close to the airport commands a premium. Local buyers and NRIs alike target plots in Sec-18/20/22D for this reason. Many search queries (e.g. “Yamuna Expressway airport plots”, “Jewar Airport property investment”) reflect this focus. As the airport nears completion, nearby plot values have risen substantially.
Yamuna Film City Influence
The UP government has approved a Noida Film City along the Yamuna Expressway to decentralize Bollywood. Covering 230 acres in YEIDA’s Sector 21, it will include air-conditioned studios (40k–60k sq.ft.), a film academy/institute, and creative-support zones. Phase 1 (80 acres, ₹10,000 Cr) is dedicated to core filmmaking infrastructure (studios, training institutes); only after this is built (15% green norms must be met) can commercial development begin.
Critically, the Film City is just ~4 km from the Jewar Airport. This proximity means international production crews will soon be landing steps from their studios. In summary, Film City will create thousands of jobs, film industry synergies, and a new demand center – all of which spill over into nearby real estate (higher rental demand for housing, etc.).
Government Initiatives and Schemes
The authority is actively auctioning plots. The “Plot Scheme 2025” covers residential, commercial, industrial and institutional lands right by Jewar Airport. For example, new residential plots (120–2000 m²) have been made available in Sectors 16–22D. Meanwhile, the 2025 EWS Affordable Plot Scheme will give 3,000 small (30 m²) plots in Sectors 18/20 to Delhi’s low-income residents, boosting local welfare and clearing old encroachments. Such schemes increase transparency (draws/lotteries) and ensure “housing for all” even as the market grows.
YEIDA’s Master Plan 2031 explicitly carves out new zones. Notably, it adds commercial clusters (hotels, banquet halls, retail) in Sectors 18 and 20, and encourages integrated townships. These official plans assure investors that key utilities (roads, power, sewage) and amenities will arrive soon.
The Uttar Pradesh investment policy (2023) offers generous perks. Industrial units in Gautam Buddha Nagar (which covers YEIDA) get up to 25% capital subsidy, along with 100% stamp-duty and registration fee waivers for 5–7 years. There are also rebates on GST, electricity duty holidays, and worker-housing subsidies. For builders and companies in YEIDA, these incentives (combined with central schemes like Make-in-India/MVIRMP) make large projects more viable.
Central and state housing schemes (e.g. PM Awas Yojana for affordable homes) are active in the region. First-time buyers in YEIDA can avail deductions (Section 80EEA) on home loan interest. Overall, policy push for inclusive growth means even small investors and NRIs feel secure tapping into YEIDA’s high-growth corridor.
NRI & International Buyer Interest
By law NRIs (and OCI) can buy residential or commercial plots in YEIDA (agricultural land is restricted). Many queries from abroad now center on “Yamuna Expressway plots for NRIs” or “Jewar Airport property investment”. The attractions are clear: high appreciation potential, favorable prices, and secure, gated projects by known developers. For example, ACE Group’s upcoming gated townships (ACE AcreVille, ACE Estate in Sector 22D) are marketed directly to NRI investors looking for legal compliance and remote support.
While NRIs must follow FEMA rules, the consensus is that plots on the Yamuna Expressway offer one of the best NRI real estate investment opportunities in North India today.
