UP govt orders cancellation of vacant industrial & IT plot allotments in Noida, Greater Noida

Vacant industrial plots to be cancelled

The Uttar Pradesh government has directed the Noida Authority and Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) to cancel the allotments of those industrial, institutional, and IT plots that have been lying vacant for a long time in their respective regions, officials familiar with the matter revealed.

The government has also instructed the authorities to survey such land parcels in their jurisdiction to ascertain the number of plots that were allotted to developers but have yet to be utilized, remaining vacant for an extended period.

A spokesperson from GNIDA stated that these directives were issued by Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Commissioner and Noida-Greater Noida Authority Chairman Manoj Kumar Singh after a meeting where he reviewed the allocations of IT, industrial, and institutional plots in the Noida-Greater Noida regions.

"The chairman emphasized that the allotments of IT, industrial, and institutional plots held by allottees who have kept the plots vacant for an extended period, without completing the construction of buildings, should be canceled," the spokesperson mentioned.
