The communication outlines the statutory framework governing telecom network deployment on public premises. In response, Noida International Airport has stated that common-use telecom infrastructure is already available to all licensed service providers on equal terms and confirmed that BSNL has deployed its network at the airport.

The Noida Metro Rail Corporation will redraw the detailed project report for the Greater Noida West metro corridor, reducing Phase 1 to just four stations instead of the 11 originally proposed, local authorities said earlier this week. The decision follows recent approval of the Aqua Line extension from Botanical Garden to Sector 142 by the Union Cabinet, prompting a reassessment of priorities and connectivity strategies. Under the revised plan, the first phase will terminate at Greater Noida Sector 4 (Gaur Chowk) with intermediate stops including Sector 61 (interchange with Delhi Metro), Sector 70 and Sector 123, offering a more focused initial stretch for commuters. The remainder of the corridor may be developed later by NMRC or integrated into future rapid transit projects, and the fresh DPR will be submitted to government bodies for clearances. The adjustment underscores ongoing planning efforts to synchronise metro expansion with broader regional transport networks and commuter demand in Noida and Greater Noida.Read more

Residents of a housing society in Noida have urged the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (Jal Board) to take action against the developer of their project after the builder failed to clear a substantial unpaid water bill, leading to accumulated dues of around INR 1.36 crore. The society said the outstanding amount relates to supplies from April 2025 onwards and that they have been left to rely on water tankers while regular connections remain unresolved. The builder's management said it had paid approximately INR 28 lakh towards the bill and attributed delays to incomplete water connections, noting that contributions from residents were still pending for a third connection. The dispute highlights ongoing challenges in utility provisioning and project completion in group housing schemes in the region.Read more

The Noida Authority has decided to implement a land pooling policy to secure agricultural land from farmers for urban development, after efforts to buy land at existing rates stalled due to resistance from landowners. The policy, already approved for industrial bodies under state regulations, will allow farmers to contribute land to pooled development and receive a share of the developed plots with 80 % for industrial use, 12 % for residential and 8 % for commercial instead of receiving outright cash compensation. Officials estimate around 500 acres along the Noida Expressway could be brought under the scheme. The authority has also raised the direct purchase rate from INR 5,500 to INR 9,000 per square metre to encourage voluntary sales of smaller plots. Farmers leaders welcomed the policy's use, noting that retaining a share of developed land may offer better long-term value than direct sale.Read more

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has carried out a major demolition and anti-encroachment operation to reclaim approximately 25 acres of land near the upcoming Noida International Airport, officials said.

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has declined to extend the deadline for its one-time settlement (OTS) scheme, meaning around 7,200 plot allottees in the Noida region now face possible recovery action if they do not clear outstanding dues by the end of February.

Total outstanding dues amount to nearly INR 4,950 crore, and the limited response to the OTS window prompted the board to maintain the existing deadline. The authority's board also approved the allocation of land for a model school and reviewed progress on stalled housing projects under the state government's rehabilitation policy, involving more than 6,800 homebuyers.Read more
