Noida authority to auction 100 acres land

The Noida Authority is set to put plots in two more sectors in the city up for auction for industrial use. It has managed to acquire around 100 acres of land in sectors 151 and 158. Officials said that modalities were being discussed and plots in the two sectors would be put up for auction latest by March next year. “We are in the final stages of the process. Plots will be ready for handover to interested players by March 15 and we shall be over with the auction process by March-end,” said NK Singh, OSD and officer-in-charge of the industries department. In first week of December, the Authority CEO held a series of meetings with the town and planning department officials to finalise the layout of the sectors. SC Gaur, the Authority’s chief architect and planner, said: “The sectors are situated off the Noida-Greater Noida expressway. Aqua line metro corridor also runs almost parallel to the sectors.” For these two sectors, land has been acquired from farmers and people staying in Gulawali, Aurangabad, Amitpur and Kambuxpur villages.
