Greater Noida set to go green, will boost infrastructure, says Earth Infrastructures Ltd,

Its good news for Greater Noida as the city is gearing up to go greener. Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority is expected to implement the environment management plan (EMP), a comprehensive environment-friendly land-use strategy to protect the environs, and increase the ground coverage of recreational green areas in the city. Earth Infrastructures Ltd, a leading real estate company of Delhi NCR, said that the announcement has made the realty sector cheerful as people are now moving towards greener places to reside and to invest, making Greater Noida a profitable future investment.

It will offer an inclusive plan for land use that takes into account the development of the city for over the following two decades,” said the official spokesperson of Earth Infrastructures Ltd. 

Apart from the green plan, GNIDA also proposes to revise its building bylaws to enhance it’s per person per hectare density of the planned population of the city. The proposal is to allow an increase in ground coverage in recreational green category of land in the city.

PC Gupta, additional CEO of GNID, said after the approval from all stakeholders, they will allow ground coverage of 25% instead of the earlier 20% in projects coming up in recreational green areas of Greater Noida.

"Following directions of the Supreme Court, GNIDA is supposed to distribute enhanced compensation of 64.7% for land acquired and 10% developed plots in lieu of abadi land to farmers," said Gupta.

Earth Group highlights the ideal residential NCR areas for homebuyers

Earth Group, one of the leading realty entities points out the NCR areas which are a lucrative option for residential and commercial purposes. Earth developers highlight the pros and cons of residential options which should be considered by the potential buyers before making an investment

.

The potential buyers have a number of options in attractive locations such as Faridabad, Ghaziabad, New Gurgaon, Greater Noida (West) and sectors along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. According to the Residential Investment Advisory report 2016, Ghaziabad has a limited scope for expansion.  Earth Group states that due to the increasing demand of residential apartments along the National Highway (NH)-24, there arises a dire need of ensuring good road connectivity. Therefore the widening of NH-24 assumes such importance.  The ready-to-move-in units in Vaishali, Indirapuram and Kaushambi are emerging as ideal residential locations. The development process of Faridabad is slow despite its good connectivity with Delhi and the Gurgaon residential market. 

The growth in the industrial and manufacturing sectors has limited the sustainability of residential developments in Faridabad. It is not considered to be an attractive option for realty investment and the price growth in Faridabad is likely to be muted.

Noida Extension (now Greater Noida West) has emerged as an ideal and affordable residential location in NCR.  The litigation-free 18-km Dwarka Expressway will have a major impact on the real estate scenario in Gurgaon. It will make Gurgaon an ideal residential location having the much-needed alternative connectivity between Delhi and Gurgaon.
