Greater Noida Revamps Industrial Land E-Allotment System
Greater Noida’s flagship industrial zone under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) has moved to modernise its digital land allotment framework, signalling a push to make land allocation and approvals more efficient for business entrants.
The joint venture entity responsible for the DMIC Integrated Industrial Township said it will engage a specialist consultant to overhaul its electronic land management system (e-LMS) and website — a critical step in streamlining industrial investments across the region. Spanning roughly 750 acres within the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region, the township is envisioned as a smart industrial hub that hosts manufacturing, logistics and related business units. The e-LMS underpins online land allotment, building plan approvals, and digital payments — functions that are central to reducing friction for investors and enhancing transparency in land use administration.
Bids to secure the consultancy contract are open until early March, with technical proposals evaluated primarily on capability and experience, and financials accounting for a smaller share of the assessment. The consultant will be tasked with system security audits, software updates, database management, and compliance with data protection norms — an emphasis that reflects rising expectations around cyber resilience and data governance in urban infrastructure platforms. Urban development experts say upgrading digital allotment systems can significantly benefit industrial ecosystem development by shortening turnaround times for approvals and reducing bureaucratic delays. “Transparent and robust digital land records and application processes not only attract investment but also enhance institutional trust,” observed an urban policy specialist familiar with industrial corridor governance in India.
The new system is also expected to include disaster recovery planning and round-the-clock technical support — features that align with broader digital infrastructure norms. The integrated township is part of a larger 200 sq km industrial and logistics region that cuts across 80 villages in Bulandshahr and Gautam Buddha Nagar districts — a zone prioritised for manufacturing and multimodal connectivity as part of the DMIC programme.Updating the e-LMS coincides with wider shifts in land allotment practices across the Noida-Greater Noida-Yamuna Expressway belt, where authorities have been experimenting with e-auctions and objective parameters to allocate industrial plots more efficiently and transparently. These reforms are aimed at balancing investor demand with equitable access for micro, small and medium enterprises, alongside larger industrial players seeking footholds in India’s manufacturing growth story.
For local planners and investors, the digital revamp could help unlock latent capacity within the industrial township by making allotment processes predictable, secure and aligned with contemporary digital governance standards. In a region where infrastructure readiness directly impacts competitiveness, enhancing the digital interface for land management represents a relatively low-cost yet high-impact opportunity to bolster economic activity and support sustainable, inclusive industrial expansion.
