Great Value Sharanam Apartment Owners Take Noida Authority to HC Over New Luxury Tower

Noida, November, 29, 2025: It’s become a tower of trouble. The Apartment Owner’s Association (AOA) of Great Value Sharanam in Noida’s Sector 107 has moved the Allahabad high court against the developer’s plan to build an ultra-luxury residential tower within the complex, media reports say.

The AOA has moved against a Noida Authority order that okayed an additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) thus allowing the developer to build another 46-floor tower within the existing complex. Reports say that the developer plans to sell these units from ₹7 crore onwards.

Residents of the complex oppose the move, saying the increased FAR should be used to upgrade facilities and common areas. The AOA approached the high court after the state government rejected a revision petition against the Noida Authority order allowing the change.

On October 27, a state government order took the line that the FAR approval had been granted under the UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, placing it outside the purview of the UP Apartment (Promotion of Construction, Ownership and Maintenance) Act, 2010, and held that the AOA stand was “not maintainable”. The order also said that a similar petition had been turned down in 2017, and that the new one failed the quorum requirement established by the AOA itself.

The AOA has submitted that additional FAR violates Section 5(3)(a) of the UP Apartment Act, which makes the percentage of each apartment owner’s undivided share in common areas a “permanent right” that cannot be changed without consent of all apartment owners. The AOA says no such consent has been taken.

On November 18, a high court bench of Justice Arun Kumar issued notices to all respondents, including the Noida Authority, Uttar Pradesh government and the developer.

Three weeks have been allowed for filing counter-affidavits and another additional week for the AOA response. The courts has also sought the complete record of consent letters submitted by the developer when it had applied for additional FAR.

The Authority says the developer has submitted 1,165 consent letters, of which 978 were verified as valid. The developer said the official records established 1,165 flat owners consented to the purchase of additional FAR. The AOA rejects this argument, and says that a majority of homeowners within the complex have not consented.
