Yeida offered a 40,000 square metre plot for group housing in Sector 22D and another plot measuring 20,000 square metre in the same sector, said officials.

Yeida is also offering more group housing plots under the new scheme. There are nine plots, each having 25 acres, up for grabs in Sector 22D and these plots will be allotted through e-bidding next month, said officials.
In the past 10 years, Yeida has allotted housing plots to 13 realtors who are developing townships along Yamuna Expressway. After a hiatus, Yeida is again coming up with schemes for allotting group housing plots to cater to the demand for apartments near Noida airport.
“In a new scheme this month, we are offering nine group housing plots because we feel there is a demand in the market for apartments near the airport, which is set to become operational by 2024 end. Also, several companies have started setting up their units near the airport. Vivo has also started making mobiles at their factory near the airport and other companies are in the process of starting operations. Within a year, at least 300 manufacturing units will become functional near the airport, thereby fuelling growth in the market and boosting urbanisation,” said Singh.
