UP Govt approves ₹4,300/sqm compensation for 1,857 hectares across 14 villages in Jewar — unlocking Phases 3 & 4 of Noida International Airport. Over 16,000 families to be resettled across six new colonies as the airport expands to 11,750 acres and five runways. Real estate investors eye major gains as YEIDA’s next development wave begins.
The Uttar Pradesh government has officially approved the Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) plan for Phases 3 and 4 of the Noida International Airport (NIA) project in Jewar — a milestone that clears the final hurdle for large-scale land acquisition and signals another surge in real estate activity around the airport belt.
This approval enables the district administration to acquire 1,857 hectares across 14 villages, marking one of the largest coordinated land mobilizations since the airport’s first two phases began in 2018.
The government has set a compensation rate of ₹4,300 per sq m, representing a 40% increase over the previous valuation levels used for Phase 2. This is a significant bump — translating to over ₹36 lakhs per bigha (842 sq m), a payout far higher than earlier rounds which averaged ₹3,000 per sq m.
At this rate, the total acquisition value crosses ₹8,000 crore, injecting immediate liquidity into the local rural economy and setting a new pricing benchmark for nearby agricultural and plotted lands across sectors 2–8, 17A, 18, and 21 under YEIDA’s master plan.
Nearly 16,000 families will be resettled under this R&R package. The government has already earmarked 438 hectares for new housing colonies across six villages — Mangroli, Neemka Shahjahanpur, Alavalpur, Sadullapur, Ahmadpur Chauroli, and Jewar Banger.
Each displaced household will receive a developed residential plot and a completed home, a model similar to earlier phases where resettled families in places like Banwaribans and Kishorpur saw their quality of living improve significantly.
With the legal clearances now in place, land acquisition can begin immediately, and officials have targeted two years to complete the entire resettlement and possession process.
The expansion will allow the airport to reach its full 11,750-acre footprint, hosting up to five runways — rivaling major global hubs like Istanbul and Dubai. Once fully operational, NIA is projected to handle up to 300 million passengers annually, becoming one of the largest airports in the world by capacity.
This milestone effectively reactivates Phase 3 and Phase 4 zones under YEIDA’s Master Plan 2041, which had been in a holding pattern pending compensation approval. The immediate effects include:
Developers and plot aggregators are already eyeing opportunities to consolidate holdings in Phase 3 corridors, anticipating YEIDA’s next round of residential and warehousing plot schemes to open by 2026.
