Yamuna Expressway : Residential Plots Scheme 2009

YEIDA Scheme Extended till 15th May,2009

(This article has been further updated on 4th October,2009 )

The notice says that the Scheme has been extended till 15th May,2009 due to demand from Public. However, things don’t look that rosy. The Scheme has not been able to muster good response from investors as expected by the Yamuna Expressway Authority (previously known as Taj Express Way).

About Yamuna Expressway Residential Plot Scheme

These residential plots will be developed along under construction Noida-to-Agra Yamuna Expressway. The proposed site / sector is about five minutes drive from the proposed Formula One Racetrack . The land on which the plots would be developed is under the process of acquisition.

Details of Plots is as under

Category	Size (Sq. Mtr)	No. of Plots	Gen. Cat.	Farmer Cat.	Registration Amount
A	4000	100	83	17	5,00,000
B	2000	250	206	44	3,00,000
C	1000	1000	825	175	2,50,000
D	500	2000	1650	350	2,00,000
E	300	5000	4125	875	1,00,000

The rate of the land of the residential plots under this scheme is Rs. 4,750 per sq. mtr. The tentative date of draw is 10th August,2009.

Why did the Scheme failed in getting Response ?

• With the current downtrend in Real estate prices, investors are worried about the returns from the Scheme

• The Rate of Rs. 4,750 per Sq. Mtr. is considered to be aggressive given that the Scheme may take at least 8-10 years to develop.

• Investors have doubts about the progress on the proposed Noida - Agra Expressway itself and any dealy on this project would also delay development under the Scheme.

• The Agra Noida area is more prone to petty crimes and hence reduce the attractiveness of the scheme from Safety point of view.
