Noida Authority cancels 110,000 sq. m. land allotment to Lotus Greens in Sector 150 over ₹4,200 crore dues; SC grants conditional OCs to Godrej Nest. A crucial turning point in Noida’s real estate story.
A major turning point has arrived for Noida’s most ambitious residential corridor — Sector 150, famously branded as the Sports City.
The Noida Authority has officially cancelled the 110,000 sq. m. land allotment to Lotus Greens, citing unpaid dues exceeding ₹4,200 crore, and has initiated proceedings to reclaim and re-auction the land.
This move is one of the biggest in Noida’s real estate history — both in financial scale and symbolic impact.
The cancelled plot was part of Lotus Greens Sports City, a large mixed-use project envisioned as a premium green and sports-centric township within Sector 150.
Over the years, the developer allegedly defaulted on multiple payment deadlines, resulting in cumulative dues crossing the ₹4,200 crore mark.
After several reminders and hearings, the Noida Authority has moved to terminate the allotment and take back possession, asserting that the land cannot remain tied up in prolonged litigation when public resources are at stake.
A senior Authority official stated that the repossession process will soon begin, following which the plot may be re-auctioned to new developers under revised terms.
Lotus Greens, led by Nirmal Singh, has strongly contested the cancellation, calling it “premature” and “in violation of ongoing judicial proceedings.”
The company cited a non-coercive order from the Supreme Court, which had earlier instructed authorities to refrain from taking strict actions while the case remained under consideration.
Their legal counsel argues that the Noida Authority’s move conflicts with that Supreme Court order, and that they plan to seek further judicial intervention to halt the re-auction process.
The matter is expected to be taken up in upcoming hearings, potentially setting a precedent for how ongoing disputes between developers and authorities are handled in Noida.
The Supreme Court has been closely monitoring several high-value real estate cases in Noida and Greater Noida, especially those involving land allotments under the Sports City model, which had promised large-scale sports facilities alongside premium housing.
In its most recent direction, the Court permitted conditional Occupancy Certificates (OCs) for six towers of Godrej Nest — another project within Sector 150 — provided developers fulfill all pending infrastructure and environmental obligations.
This dual development — Lotus Greens’ cancellation and Godrej’s conditional OCs — shows a two-track approach by regulators: penalizing defaulters while rewarding compliance.
For homebuyers who invested in Sector 150 projects under the Sports City umbrella, the developments have mixed implications:
In either scenario, the move underscores a new era of accountability in Noida real estate — one where large developers can no longer indefinitely hold high-value land without progress or payments.
Sector 150 was envisioned as Noida’s greenest and most luxurious township — featuring wide boulevards, open green cover exceeding 70%, and sports amenities like cricket stadiums and golf courses.
Over the past decade, it attracted big names like Godrej, Tata, Ace, ATS, and Eldeco — alongside the Lotus Greens consortium that originally spearheaded the Sports City concept.
However, execution delays, complex joint ventures, and financial defaults have slowed its growth. Many projects remain incomplete or entangled in legal disputes.
The current crackdown — starting with Lotus Greens’ 110,000 sq. m. cancellation — could be seen as the Authority’s attempt to reset the playing field and reclaim momentum before Noida’s next phase of development around Jewar Airport and Yamuna Expressway.
The magnitude of this action goes beyond one developer. It reflects the Authority’s renewed push to recover dues and restore confidence among homebuyers and institutional investors.
The Noida Authority has indicated that it will begin repossession procedures in coordination with the district administration and local police.
After due verification and mapping, the plot is expected to be listed for re-allotment through a transparent e-auction process.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s next hearing will determine whether the cancellation stands or is temporarily stayed — a decision that could set the tone for future real estate enforcement actions in NCR.
For now, all eyes are on Sector 150 — once the pride of Noida’s planned growth, now the epicenter of its most high-stakes real estate dispute.
Sector 150’s story mirrors the larger evolution of Noida real estate — from speculative farmland and mega visions to the current era of legal scrutiny and structural correction.
While the cancellation shakes the market, it also signals the Authority’s commitment to cleaning up the sector and ensuring fair play for both developers and buyers.
In a market that has seen its share of delays and disputes, this moment could mark the beginning of a more disciplined, transparent future — where progress, not promises, decides who gets to build Noida’s skyline.
