Noida: Four projects that were introduced earlier Greater Noida Authority Came into existence in 1991, stopped development, part of Master Plan 2021 and 2041, 800 acres.
rights Recently progressed with the T-series, which has helped to resume work on 1 km road near Parry Chowk in Greater Noida, but has now been sought. GovernmentApproval for out-of-court settlements with Tosha International, Lokpriya ViharAnd as efforts to resolve technology park disputes, either led to land acquisition or court orders, led to legal failures or orders of status quo.
The controversy with Tosha has affected the important infrastructure, including a major road connecting Ghaziabad to the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jews.
The company had acquired 26 acres of land in Devla village before 1991 and developed a picture tube factory on 17 acres. Although the unit was closed in the 1990s, land parcels were not fully integrated into GNIDA's development plans due to lack of formal acquisition.
In its current master plan, this land parcel is part of the 130 meter wide road, connecting Greater Noida West to Greater Noida. The stretch is a major connector for the Eastern Permity Expressway and is expected to work as a major corridor between Ghaziabad and Noida Airport.
Currently, a 100-meter section of this road near Tilpta is located within an unknown area owned by Tosha, which prevents construction at stretch.
Tosha earlier applied for regularization of the site under GNIDA's spot zoning policy in 2002, but the authority rejected the request in 2006. It started the acquisition proceedings in 2009, which was later abolished by the Allahabad High Court after the petitions of local farmers in 2011.
A revised acquisition scheme launched in 2014 was stopped by the High Court in 2015. In January last year, the company submitted a new proposal, under which it expressed his desire to hand over six acres for infrastructure projects and maintain the remaining sector for industrial use. It agreed to pay the expected development fee, construct a 24-meter wide approach in itself and conduct a joint site survey to resolve border disputes.
GNIDA is currently evaluating this proposal, but officials told TOI that it could not proceed until its policy structure is approved by the state government.
About 99 acres of land in Knowledge Park 5 remain underdeveloped due to a long -prepared case with Technology Park Limited (TPL). In 1985, the company obtained permission for up to build a technology park and obtained 200 acres of land in Tasyana village. In 1989, the permission was withdrawn on non-transportation with the development position. TPL approached the courts, and after the formation of GNIDA, an agreement deed was signed in 1992, allowing TPL to resume the work, but on certain conditions, the company needed to develop a research and development center, a tool chamber, an institution and a world trade center.
In 1996, GNIDA canceled the deed on the basis that TPL did not submit sufficient ownership evidence. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court, which in 2005 GNIDA directed to consider the application of TPL. But Ganida once again rejected the proposal and started the acquisition proceedings in 2006, which was again contested. Over the years, GNIDA made several attempts to join with TPL for a resolution, but failed to achieve results.
Currently, Gyan Park 5 in 5, including 200 acres acquired by TPL and nearby Ganida land, is underdeveloped. The Supreme Court issued two instructions in 2016, urging both sides to reach a cordial solution, but no proposal has been made yet.
A 2008 revenue report shows that about 35 acres of land of this land parcel was attached, while 99 acres of land lived with TPL. Encroachments are visible on some empty parcels, and make the situation more complicated.
In Habibpur, about half a meter of 15-hectare land acquired for Lokpriya Cooperative Housing Society came under the alignment of Dadri-Surajpur-Kasna Road. Over time, the authority captured four hectares, but the remaining 11 hectares are still controlled by the society. These parcels, officials said, are located in the middle of an institutional green zone spread over about 100 acres. As the layout of the society, which began in 1983, was unplanned and lacking proper approval, the entire institutional area around it has been underdeveloped.
The society has challenged the authority in the court and filed applications seeking regularization. Officials said the unnecessary size and landlock nature of this property has made its integration difficult in the master plan.
Another 1.5 km road project near Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) in Namoli village was stuck in a 15-year-old case with T-series. The company had acquired 196 acres of land in the village and developed a part of the land as an industrial unit. Under the current master plan, this land was nominated for institutional use due to closeness to DMIC. But a 60-meter-wide road planned to connect LG Chowk to Knowledge Park 3 and delayed T-Series-related land acquisition obstacles from Sector 146 in Noida from Sector 146 in Noida.
Last week, the Authority received an in-principal approval for a Rs 31-crore project, which would feature a modern six-lane road, which will be designed to unlogue the important junction of Parry Chowk and improve connectivity between the city's knowledge hub.
According to officials, solving these cases through mutual understanding and a structured policy can unlock valuable land for infrastructure, reduce traffic bottlenecks and fast-track institutional, industrial and residential development in central Greater Noida. In the board meeting of March 29, the authority proposed conditional regularization or disposal options to four companies. As part of the settlement, the authority has proposed to the companies to return 40% of underdeveloped land, which will require paying external development fees according to the current GNIDA rates. The remaining 60% will be acquired by the authority, for which compensation will be paid at the prevailing circle rates.
The authority clarified that the land coverage, distant and setback rules (when the area was not under the jurisdiction of the authority) in 1992 would be honored. However, current distant fees will be levied during land procurement. Following a formal agreement with companies, layout maps of the entire integrated area will be prepared separately.
Greater Noida hopes that about 270 acres of land will be cured and the development fee and allocation will generate about Rs 1,800 crore in revenue.
