The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has taken action against officials in the land records department due to slow progress in acquiring land for eight new industrial sectors. One month's salary will be withheld, and payments to the private agency assisting in land purchase have been stopped. GNIDA has acquired only 500 hectares out of the required 900 hectares and has set a three-month deadline to complete the process. The sectors will cover nearly 900 acres in Ecotech 7, 8, 9, 12A, 16, 19, 19A, and 21. The CEO instructed officials to identify new sectors for land acquisition.
The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) recently made the decision to take strict measures against officials in the land records department due to their perceived negligence and slow progress in acquiring land for eight new industrial sectors. In response to their shortcomings, GNIDA has opted to withhold one month's salary from these officials. Furthermore, they have issued an order to halt payments to the private agency responsible for assisting in the land purchase.
Currently, GNIDA has managed to acquire only 500 hectares out of the required total of 900 hectares. To expedite the process, a three-month deadline has been set to complete the land acquisition for the eight industrial sectors. These sectors, namely Ecotech 7, 8, 9, 12A, 16, 19, 19A, and 21, will occupy nearly 900 acres of land.
The decision to develop these sectors was made by GNIDA in 2021, acknowledging the growing demand for additional industrial land. The project aims to create opportunities for entrepreneurs, attract significant investments, and generate employment for thousands of individuals.
The upcoming sectors will encompass several villages, including Pauwari, Imeliaka, Atai, Muradpur, Luksar, Dadupur, Ladpura, Khanpur, Sirsa, Vaidpura, Jaun Samana, Sunpura, Bhola Rawal, Dhummanikpur, Khedi, Amka, Kirachpur, Kailashpur, Khodna Kala, Bhanauta, and Khodna Khurd. While GNIDA has successfully acquired approximately 500 hectares of land through mutual consent with farmers, efforts are still ongoing to procure the remaining land.
During a review of the land records department, concerns were raised about the slow progress in the land acquisition process. As a result, Ritu Maheshwari, the CEO of GNIDA, took punitive action against the officials responsible and instructed the Authority to acquire the remaining land within the next three months. Maheshwari also emphasized that any further negligence would result in a letter being sent to the government, urging appropriate action against the responsible officials.
At present, the GNIDA possesses 368 hectares of land, consisting of over 630 plots falling into various categories such as industrial, commercial, institutional, IT/ITES, group housing, and residential. However, it is worth noting that 70 of these plots, covering an area of 144 hectares, have been canceled for various reasons.
