The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has launched a strategic initiative to invigorate regional entrepreneurship and industrial expansion by offering 40 industrial plots across key sectors including Ecotech, Udyog Kendra, and Udyog Vihar. These plots, varying from 450 to 8,000 square metres and priced between ₹28,600 and ₹33,950 per square metre, are set to facilitate the establishment of a diverse range of enterprises.
This forward-looking approach aligns with the larger vision of fostering zero-net carbon, eco-friendly, and equitable urban development. Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to set up units under 242 permitted industrial categories, ensuring a broad spectrum of economic activity. However, GNIDA has judiciously placed restrictions on environmentally sensitive industries such as distilleries, petrochemicals, and fertilisers, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development. Industries like dyeing and bleaching may be considered on a restrictive basis, subject to stringent environmental and regulatory compliances. This selective approach underscores a dedication to fostering industrial growth without compromising the region’s ecological balance or the well-being of its citizens.
In a parallel and equally significant move, GNIDA has commenced the bulk land allotment process for a large-scale Multi-Modal Logistics Park near Dadri. This ambitious project, spanning 174.12 acres on Plot No. 1 in Sector Kappa-2, is designed to significantly bolster the region’s logistics infrastructure. The proposed park will house intermodal container terminals, advanced cargo handling yards, mechanised warehouses, cold storage facilities, logistics terminals, customs clearance zones, freight forwarding services, and comprehensive transportation hubs. Such a comprehensive logistics ecosystem is vital for enhancing efficiency, reducing carbon emissions from transportation, and supporting a more gender-neutral workforce in the logistics sector.
The strategic positioning of the logistics park is particularly noteworthy. Its proximity to Jewar Airport, coupled with seamless connectivity to both the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors, positions it as a pivotal node in India’s national logistics network. This connectivity is crucial for streamlining supply chains, reducing transit times, and thereby lowering the overall carbon footprint of goods movement. The land allotment rate for this monumental logistics park has been set at ₹11,000 per square metre, offering a competitive edge for large-scale developers.
To ensure the successful execution and long-term viability of this critical infrastructure project, GNIDA has established stringent qualification criteria for prospective developers. Applicants must demonstrate a minimum investment capacity of ₹1,200 crore and possess at least a decade of proven experience in the logistics sector. The application window for this transformative scheme is open until June 23, with the registration deadline set for June 16, ensuring a robust and timely selection process.
This dual initiative by the Greater Noida Authority clearly articulates its commitment to not only stimulating industrial growth but also to creating a sustainable and highly efficient industrial ecosystem. By attracting significant investment and fostering a conducive environment for both small and large enterprises, these efforts are poised to generate substantial employment opportunities and drive robust economic growth. The emphasis on environmentally conscious industrial development and cutting-edge logistics infrastructure signals a clear pathway towards a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable future for the Greater Noida region.
