The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UPRERA) has approved eight new projects worth Rs 1,948 crore, paving the way for 3,005 new residential and commercial units.
The clearances mark a renewed thrust on regionally balanced growth, as development extends beyond western Uttar Pradesh to cities such as Jhansi and Firozabad.
According to the authority, of the eight projects, three are in Lucknow and one each in Noida, Prayagraj, Agra, Jhansi and Firozabad. These projects span across affordable and mid-income housing categories.
“The approval of eight projects clearly indicates that the real estate sector of Uttar Pradesh is moving steadily in a strong and trustworthy direction. The investment of Rs 1,948 crore and sanctioning of over 3,000 new units are significant for both the state’s economic progress and housing development,” UPRERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy said.
Bhoosreddy chaired UPRERA’s 185th meeting in Lucknow on October 6 in which the projects were cleared.
UPRERA’s review process ensures that every project complies with regulatory standards, thereby safeguarding homebuyers’ interests and reinforcing investor confidence, he said.
Going beyond Noida, Ghaziabad
The approvals reflect UPRERA’s push to decentralise housing growth beyond Noida and Ghaziabad, bringing smaller markets into the fold of regulated, transparent real estate development, officials said.
Cities such as Jhansi and Firozabad, often overshadowed by larger metros, are witnessing renewed investor interest, driven by infrastructure upgrades, improving connectivity, and rising local demand.
According to UPRERA data, as of October, the authority has 4,500 projects registered across the state, with cumulative real estate investments exceeding Rs 2.5 lakh crore. The National Capital Region (NCR) districts of Noida and Ghaziabad form 45 percent of total projects registered with UPRERA.
Boost to housing supply and employment
Officials said the Rs 1,948-crore investment would add 3,005 residential and commercial units, including apartments, villas, plots and retail spaces. The projects are expected to generate jobs across the construction, steel, cement, tiles, home décor, and finance sectors, providing a crucial multiplier effect for the state’s economy.
Market observers said Uttar Pradesh has emerged as one of India’s most active real estate markets, with sustained demand in both affordable and mid-income segments. The state’s steady project approval pipeline under RERA underscores increasing developer confidence and a gradual shift toward organized, compliant development.
They said UPRERA’s consistent project approvals come at a time when buyer sentiment and regulatory transparency are reshaping the property market.
