Noida Authority’s February 2026 Plot Schemes: What’s on Offer, What It Signals, and How Developers Should Read It
The New Okhla Industrial Development Authority announced the opening of applications to different land allotment schemes on February 5, 2026, under the commercial, institutional, hospitality, residential, and religious categories.
This is not an end-user housing launch because the application window is open until February 26, 2026. Rather, it is a significant land supply eventuality that shows the manner in which the Authority is setting Noida up as the next stage in the institutional and commercial development.
To the developers, institutional investors, and large operators, this scheme is a valuable source of insight into future demand corridors, price benchmarks, and development priorities.
Overview of the February 2026 Land Allotment Scheme
The scheme in February 2026 is on several asset classes; the majority of the plots are suggested to be sold by an online e-auction. The only exception is religious plots, where allotment is supposed to be made on an interview basis.
The scheme includes:
Corporate office plots
Commercial builder plots
Hotel plots
Group housing plots
Religious-use plots
This diversified land release indicates that the Authority is focusing on office, retail, hospitality, and residential developers at the same time.
Categories and Key Data Points
Corporate Office Plots (Institutional Category)
There are ten plots that are provided in the development of corporate offices. There are about 9 plots with an area of about 1,000 sq m each, and one big plot of about 4,002 sq m.
The reported prices of reserves are of the range Rs 1.08 crore to Rs 4.41 crore, varying according to the size of the plot and the location.
There are reports that include Sector 152 and some others include Sector 153. This jeopardy shows that it is significant to check the information about sectors in the official brochure to determine the influence of micro-markets.
Religious Plots (Temple Sites)
Sector 15A and Sector 93B have been set aside to be used by religion.
Approximately 302 sq m and 600 sq m are reported. Such plots are suggested to be distributed by way of interview instead of e-auction.
Fixed prices are being reported as Rs 2.7 crore and Rs 4.1 crore.
This type is aimed at institutional religious organizations but not at individual investors.
Commercial Builder Plots
The most significant indicator in this scheme is commercial land supply.
High-Density Commercial Plots (FAR 4)
It has offered five big commercial plots with FAR 4 in various sectors such as 96, 98, 62, and 108. There are also reports of Sector 132.
Plot areas are around 24,000 -50,000 sq m. The reported prices of the reserves are an estimated Rs 400-800 crore per plot.
Such plots are appropriate on big office campuses, mixed-use developments, and high-end commercial complexes.
Moderate-Density Commercial Plots (FAR 2)
There are six commercial plots with FAR 2 and are situated in sectors 61, 142, 132, 135 and 126.
Plot size is between 5 and 22,000 sq m. The reserve prices are quoted in Rs 76 crore- Rs 270 crore.
These plans are better adapted to mid-scale office and retail and hybrid projects.
Understanding FAR in Simple Terms
FAR (Floor Area Ratio) determines the size of an area that can be built on a plot. Better FAR means additional saleable or leaseable space, enhancing potential revenue, depending on design regulations and approvals.
Hotel Plots (Hospitality Development)
Hotel plots of 93B, 105, 135 and 142 are some of the offered sectors.
The size of the plot is between about 2,000 sq m and 24,000 sq m. The reserve prices are also widely fluctuating, ranging between Rs 36 crore and Rs 340 crore.
There are also some reports that give per-square-meter pricing estimates, which can assist in the benchmarking of hospitality feasibility. Yet, official schedules should be checked to obtain final figures.
Group Housing Plots (Residential Developer Supply)
There have been two plots of group housing in Sector 151 that have been offered.
All plots are said to measure approximately 20,000 sq m. In the reserve prices, the amount reported is about Rs 245 crore per plot.
These plots will target huge residential developers and it shows that the Authority has confidence in the absorption of premium housing in this sector.
What This Scheme Signals About Noida’s Development Strategy
Shift Toward Transparent Allocation
This trend of using e-auction as the default allotment procedure is an indication of the transparency and market-based price discovery push of the Authority.
This practice increases the amount of participation, decreases discretionary allotments, and sets more definitive land value standards.
Strengthening the Expressway Commercial Corridor
The Noida Expressway zone is still a central commercial gravity center, as the high-FAR commercial plots are concentrated in the areas 96, 98, 108 and 62.
Such locations are highly connected, have a well-developed infrastructure and are attractive to corporate tenants and institutional occupiers.
Sector 151 as a Premium Residential Bet
The Authority is sending a strong message of long-term confidence in the end-user demand in this area by providing big-ticket group housing plots in Sector 151.
It is an indication of the unrelenting uptake at high price brackets, as long as developers design the suitable product mix.
How to Verify Official Information
High-value land investment may be at risk when using media reports alone.
All the official documents are published in the section of the Live Land Allotment Scheme on the website of the Authority, posted on February 5, 2026.
The applicants need to:
Get the actual brochure plot-wise, with sector, plot number, area, FAR, reserve price, and EMD.
Check on controversial information like Sector 152 vs Sector 153 of corporate plots.
Look at the calendar of auctions, not only the deadline of the application.
Bidder manual over payment timeline, forfeiture regulations, lease provisions, and development milestones.
Strategic Interpretation for Developers and Investors
In the case of large developers, the scheme of February 2026 means that Noida is now emphasizing institutional and commercial/hospitality-based development rather than focusing on small residential layouts.
The FAR 4 plots have a high reserve price, indicating trust in continued office and mixed-use market. The offerings of hotel plots are directed towards the anticipations of increased business travel and MICE. The presence of group housing plots shows that there is still an optimistic belief in high-end residential absorption.
These opportunities, however, need good balance sheets, long holding, and realistic absorption planning. This plan plays in favor of those that are organized, well-capitalized players as opposed to speculative purchasers.
Conclusion
The Noida land allotment program of February 2026 is not a mere land sale project. It is a strategic message concerning the future economic, commercial, and residential dynamic of the Authority. Through its focus on high-FAR commercial land, high-end group housing, and hospitality land, Noida is preparing to become an urban destination of institutional grade.
To developers and serious investors, this scheme is a reward for disciplined analysis, capital strength, and long-term vision. Individuals who pay close attention to these signals will be in a better position to design their projects to be in line with the changing urban strategy of Noida.
