Want A Dream Home Near Jewar Airport? YEIDA Opens 973 Residential Plots; Check Eligibility, Apply Process

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has once again opened a residential plot scheme for the general public, offering a major opportunity to homebuyers and investors looking to secure land near some of NCR's biggest upcoming infrastructure projects.

The scheme is being seen as especially attractive for those who want to live close to the Noida International Airport in Jewar, the proposed Film City, and the Yamuna Expressway corridor.

973 Residential Plots Offered Across Key Sectors

Under the YEIDA Residential Plot Scheme 2026, the authority has invited applications for 973 vacant residential plots located in Sector 15C, Sector 18, and Sector 24A. The plots have been planned in multiple size categories so that applicants from different budget segments can participate.

The available plot sizes are 162 sq m, 183 sq m, 184 sq m, 200 sq m, 223 sq m, and 290 sq m. All plots under the scheme will be allotted at a uniform rate of ₹36,260 per square metre.

Among the available options, the highest number of plots are in the 162 sq m category (476 plots) and the 200 sq m category (481 plots), making these the most accessible segments for applicants.

Registration Fee Varies For General And SC/ST Applicants

YEIDA has fixed separate registration amounts for SC/ST applicants and other categories under the scheme.

For example, the registration fee for a 162 sq m plot has been set at ₹5,87,412 for applicants in the other category, while SC/ST applicants will have to pay ₹2,93,706.

For the largest 290 sq m plot, the registration amount goes up to ₹10,51,540 for the other category, while the fee for SC/ST applicants has been fixed at ₹5,25,770.

This category-wise fee structure is expected to widen participation while keeping the process aligned with reservation-linked concessions.

YEIDA has also announced the full timeline for the scheme, including the application opening date and the draw schedule.

• Scheme opens: 6 April 2026, with the application link going live from 10 am
