Noida, which is the short form for New Okhla Industrial Development Area, is a bustling real estate destination in the National Capital Region (NCR). It was constituted under the U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. The Uttar Pradesh government notified 36 villages of the ‘Yamuna-Hindon-Delhi Border Regulated Area’ as Noida to facilitate planned development of urban centres around Delhi. Today, Noida has emerged as a planned, integrated and modern Industrial City situated in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district, offering ample avenues for real estate investment.
The Noida Authority came into existence to plan and develop an industrial town for small and medium-sized units and to cater to the growing population in the capital city. The authority is responsible for preparing the master plan of Noida that would serve as a guiding document for infrastructure planning. Here are some of the key highlights of the Noida Master Plan 2031 and what to expect in the near future

Noida Master Plan 2031: Key highlights
- The Noida Master Plan 2031 aims at strengthening road and rail infrastructure, to promote connectivity between adjoining areas such as Greater Noida, Delhi, Ghaziabad, etc. The master plan of Noida 2031 has been designed to capitalise on Noida’s high growth potential, due to its proximity to the capital city.
- The master plan of Noida also aims to promote employment-generating activities, such as the creation of industrial parks, quality office spaces, commercial centres and IT parks, etc. and offer good quality of life to the residents here.
Initially, when Noida was created, the plan was to develop sites for about 10,000 small-scale industrial units, which could provide employment to over 40,000 industrial workers and create an integrated township for all workers employed here. The master plan was later revised, to cater to one million people. To keep up with the development spree in the region, the master plan is regularly updated, to factor-in the growing need for space, infrastructure and connectivity. Here are some of the key highlights of the Noida Master Plan and what to expect in the near future.

The Noida Authority is in the process of acquiring the land for its planned development. The total land for Noida of around 20316 hectares has been notified. Out of this, a significant portion of around 25% is in the area beyond embankments of river Yamuna and Hindon. The area is not suitable for urbanisation as it is a flood-prone area and suited only for river front development. Around 15280 hectare of land situated majorly between the two river embankments is proposed for planned urban development. Land use distribution for various activities is governed by the existing development pattern, potentials of development with relation to land suitability and other large scale or regional level infrastructure development projects and the possible optimum utilisation of available land.
Noida is driven by industrial activities as among the dominant economic functions of Noida and it was initially planned to be an industrial township. It has seen a demand for more land for industrial uses. The Noida Master Plan 2021 proposed around 20% percent land for Industrial use while around 18.37% land is proposed under Industrial uses for 2031.

Noida Master Plan 2031: Land utilisation
Existing Land Use Development
Noida is a rapidly developing town and its development in the recent decade shows that it will surpass what was projected in earlier Master Plans. Analysis of land development based on the latest satellite images show that around 9211 hectare have been developed in different land uses by January 2010 and around 1000 hectare land was in the process of development. This proves that Noida’s growth has been more than what was projected in Noida Master Plan 2011.
Proposed Land Use Strategy
According to the Noida Master Plan 2031, the total proposed urbanisable area of about 15280 hectare has been divided into sectors and facilities have been distributed almost across all the areas of the town. Noida has been planned on a gridiron pattern. Major roads are planned from the southwest to the northeast and connected by perpendicular roads forming a grid. The township is planned on the concept of self-sustained integrated township.
High-density residential localities are close to workplaces while commercial centres are well distributed over space with the main commercial hub in the city centre. The sub district centres are distributed with respect to residential catchment areas. Residential sectors are to be developed at varying densities. Few sectors in the city have been planned for high-density group housing, with recreational and green spaces. Central park along with public and semi-public amenities are planned to connect linearly from north to south around the Noida’s centre. A railway station complex in the city’s southwestern section has also been proposed in the master plan.
Mixed Land Use
The concept of mixed land use is gaining preference across all cities. In the Noida Master Plan 2021, the policy of mixed land use was introduced by the Noida Authority. Under the policy, residential and other activities were permitted in the planned commercial land along the major roads. Retail commercial activities were permitted to be run on the ground floor and residential activities were allowed on the upper floors of buildings.
Residential facilities are allowed in commercial and institutional area aimed at better utilisation of land for varying uses and to limit the need for transportation for work places. Noida Authority has permitted the mix of commercial, residential and institutional activities on the designated large size residential or institutional plots available in different sectors. The ground coverage and floor area ratio will be based on the prime land uses of the plot. The Noida authority may set rules for the architectural controls, allotment procedure, reserve prices and other requirements as per the proposed mix of activities on a plot or scheme.
Specific areas of mixed land use have not been proposed in the Master Plan. However, the authority may identify such land or plot for mixed land use schemes at the time of detail layout plan of a particular sector or area.
