YEIDA Group Housing Plot Scheme 2026: The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has opened a new group housing plot scheme in YEIDA City, offering 10 large plots through e-auction. The plots are located in Sectors 17, 18, 20 and 22D , in the fast-developing Yamuna Expressway region near Noida International Airport, Jewar .
The scheme, identified as YEA-GH-12/2026 , is aimed at developers, companies, firms and eligible consortiums rather than ordinary homebuyers looking for an individual residential plot. The scheme opened on September 25, 2026, while registration will close on October 25. The deadline for submitting the application, processing fee and EMD is October 26, 2026.
According to the YEIDA brochure, the e-auction will begin at 11 AM on November 18, 2026 . Only financially and technically qualified bidders will be allowed to participate.

The scheme includes 10 large group housing plots . Their sizes range from 11,513 square metres to 50,600 square metres .
The authority has fixed the basic rate at ₹54,380 per square metre . Depending on the location, a Preferential Location Charge (PLC) of 5%, 10% or 15% is applicable. The reserve price including PLC is therefore higher than the basic land rate.
| Plot | Sector | Plot size | PLC | Reserve value including PLC | EMD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GH-7A | 17 | 12,141 sqm | 15% | ₹75.93 crore | ₹7.59 crore |
| GH-7B | 17 | 11,513 sqm | 10% | ₹68.87 crore | ₹6.89 crore |
| GH-7C | 17 | 11,513 sqm | 15% | ₹72.00 crore | ₹7.20 crore |
| GH-8B | 17 | 20,235 sqm | 15% | ₹126.54 crore | ₹12.65 crore |
| GH-2B | 18 | 20,720 sqm | 5% | ₹118.31 crore | ₹11.83 crore |
| GH-1A | 20 | 25,000 sqm | 15% | ₹149.55 crore | ₹14.95 crore |
| GH-10 | 22D | 27,925 sqm | 15% | ₹174.63 crore | ₹17.46 crore |
| GH-15A | 22D | 50,600 sqm | 10% | ₹302.68 crore | ₹30.27 crore |
| GH-16A | 22D | 45,700 sqm | 5% | ₹260.94 crore | ₹26.09 crore |
| GH-16B | 22D | 45,700 sqm | 5% | ₹260.94 crore | ₹26.09 crore |
The brochure states that the allotment will be made at the rate applicable on the date of allotment or the auction rate, whichever is higher . GST and other applicable taxes or charges are over and above the total premium where applicable.
The biggest plot in the scheme is GH-15A in Sector 22D , measuring 50,600 square metres . Its reserve value including PLC is about ₹302.68 crore , while the EMD is approximately ₹30.27 crore .
The second-largest plots, GH-16A and GH-16B , each measure 45,700 square metres and carry a reserve value of about ₹260.94 crore .
This means the scheme is clearly positioned for large real estate developers and financially strong entities , rather than individual buyers looking for a small residential plot.
The scheme allows eligible proprietorship concerns, partnership firms, LLPs, private limited companies and public limited companies registered in India to submit bids.
An applicant can bid for one or more plots, but a separate application is required for each plot . Applicants, consortium partners, directors or promoters appearing on the relevant YEIDA, GNIDA or NOIDA defaulter lists on the last date of bidding are not eligible.
A consortium can also participate, subject to YEIDA's conditions. The consortium can have a maximum of four members . The lead member must be the single largest shareholder with at least 30% equity , while each consortium member must have at least 10% equity.
The financial eligibility requirements make it clear that the scheme is designed for experienced developers.
For plots of up to 60,000 square metres , the brochure specifies:
For larger plots above 60,000 square metres and up to 1,36,000 square metres, the corresponding thresholds rise to ₹60 crore net worth, ₹10 crore solvency and ₹200 crore cumulative turnover.
The bidder must also have obtained completion certificates for projects representing at least 15% of the total FAR of the plot being applied for. YEIDA gives the example that for a 60,000-sq-metre plot with FAR of 3, the required completed area would be 27,000 square metres.
Applicants have to pay a non-refundable and non-adjustable processing fee of ₹5 lakh plus 18% GST for each plot .
In addition, the EMD is equivalent to 10% of the total premium/cost . The amount varies according to the plot.
For instance:
The processing fee and EMD have to be deposited through the prescribed YEIDA payment mechanism.
Eligible applicants need to register on the designated YEIDA e-auction system and submit their applications online.
The brochure says processing fees and EMD can be deposited through the prescribed online payment gateway, NEFT or RTGS, subject to the applicable process. Separate processing fees and EMD are required for each advertised property.
The brochure also specifies that bidding cannot take place below the reserve price. The bid increment is 1% of the reserve price , rounded to the nearest thousand.
Importantly, if there are fewer than three eligible bidders for a particular plot, the auction process will not proceed initially. YEIDA can extend the application period by seven days and, if necessary, provide a second seven-day extension. An e-auction will be conducted only when at least three eligible bidders are available. If there are fewer than three eligible bidders after the prescribed extensions, the e-auction will not be conducted and the processing fee and EMD of participants will be returned.
Winning the bid does not mean the entire plot premium has to be paid immediately.
The successful allottee has to pay 40% of the total premium/cost within 60 days of the allotment letter , after adjusting the EMD already deposited.
The remaining 60% has to be paid over two years in four half-yearly instalments , with interest at the applicable rate. The brochure currently specifies interest of 10% per annum , subject to revision under the authority's prevailing policy. A further penal interest provision applies in case of payment default.
Failure to make the required payment within the stipulated period can result in cancellation of the allotment and forfeiture of the EMD.
The plots can be used for residential and support activities permitted under the YEIDA Master Plan and applicable building regulations.
The development must follow the prevailing YEIDA building by-laws, including rules relating to FAR, ground coverage, setbacks, height and other construction norms .
Developers will also have to provide the infrastructure and obtain the necessary statutory approvals before construction. The scheme requires provisions for LIG and EWS housing in accordance with the prevailing YEIDA and Uttar Pradesh government policy.
The plots will be allotted on a 90-year leasehold basis , calculated from the execution of the lease deed. The scheme is therefore not an outright freehold land sale.
The developer must submit the building plan and detailed layout plan for approval within the prescribed period and start construction within the stipulated timeframe.
The brochure provides for completion of the first phase within three years of execution of the lease deed and completion of the final phase within seven years , subject to applicable extension provisions.
No. This particular YEIDA scheme is not a normal residential plot scheme for individual homebuyers.
The properties are large group housing plots intended for eligible developers and entities that can develop apartment or group housing projects. Therefore, an individual looking to buy a plot and construct a personal house cannot directly purchase one of these plots under the scheme.
However, the scheme could be important for homebuyers in the NCR region in the longer term. Once developers acquire the land, obtain approvals and construct housing projects, the resulting flats could create additional housing options in the YEIDA area.
The latest group housing plot scheme comes as the Yamuna Expressway region continues to attract residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure development around Noida International Airport at Jewar .
The YEIDA website currently lists the group housing scheme among its public announcements, alongside other property schemes in the region.
The 10 plots offered under YEA-GH-12/2026 could eventually support large housing projects, potentially increasing the supply of apartments in the Yamuna Expressway area.
For buyers, however, the immediate opportunity is not to purchase these plots directly , but to track the projects that developers may launch after acquiring land through the YEIDA e-auction.
The most important points are:
The YEIDA brochure also states that applicants are responsible for carrying out due diligence regarding the location and condition of the plot, with the plots offered on an “as is where is” basis.
For the latest terms, applicants should rely on the official YEIDA scheme brochure and authority portal because the authority reserves the right to modify, withdraw or add plots according to the scheme conditions.

As a result, applications are invited for a total of 12 group housing plots under the extended scheme.
Sectors involved: 17, 18, and 22D
Plot sizes: From approx. 11,513 sqm to 1,01,175 sqm

YEIDA had earlier planned to launch a new plot scheme for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) . The proposal for this scheme was approved in the YEIDA board meeting long ago, but the scheme has not been launched yet. Now, the main reason behind the delay has come forward, and we are sharing that update with you.
Originally, YEIDA planned to offer plots with a size of 30 sq. meters .
However, according to YEIDA officials, there is now a proposal to increase the plot size to 40–50 sq. meters .
With a larger plot size, the frontage of the house will be better , and beneficiaries will be allowed to build up to 2.5 floors on the plot. This is the main reason the scheme launch has been postponed.
Total Plots: Around 3,000 plots will be offered.
Revised Plot Size: Likely to be 45–50 sq. meters instead of the earlier 30 sq. meters.
Construction Permission: Beneficiaries may be allowed to build 2.5 floors .
Payment Option: Successful applicants will get the option to pay in instalments .
Scheme Launch: The first phase will be launched soon. The second phase will be improved based on feedback and mistakes of the first phase.
5% Reservation for
Army personnel
Ex-servicemen
Widows of martyrs
Persons with disabilities
29% Reservation for employees working in industries located within YEIDA area.
5% Reservation for
Institutional employees (hospital, college staff)
Authority employees
Remaining 51% will be open to the general public.
The land for the scheme has been identified in Sector 17 and Sector 20 of YEIDA.
Only Economically Weaker Section (EWS) applicants can apply.
Annual income criteria not yet finalized .
Applicants must be
Residents of Gautam Buddha Nagar , or
Permanent residents of Uttar Pradesh .
The scheme should have been launched earlier , but due to the change in plot size and planning, the launch was delayed.
Once registrations begin, the update will be officially announced, and we will inform you immediately.
For EWS families dreaming of owning a plot in a costly city like Noida, this YEIDA scheme may offer a rare and affordable opportunity to build their own house.
Employees working in industries or small companies in the region may also benefit under the reserved quota.
