Yamuna Expressway Emerges as NCR’s Next Real Estate Powerhouse

Noida, June 19, 2025: As Delhi-NCR’s real estate recalibrates its growth trajectory, the Yamuna Expressway paves its way with developers eyeing land parcels across the corridor.

Post the real estate boom on the Dwarka Expressway, prices of real estate along the Yamuna Expressway and in the surrounding areas of Jewar Airport, Noida, have nearly doubled in the last three years.

Per Anarock, about 390 acres near the Noida International Airport, along the Yamuna Expressway, has been snapped up in the last 12 months. The value of these transactions works out to a significant INR 2,340 crore with an acre going for INR 5-6 crore.

The 165-km stretch of the expressway connects Greater Noida to Agra while a 750-metre elevated road connects the airport directly to the expressway. However, the land deals transacted thus far account for a very small 1.5 per cent of the 25,000plus-acre development pipeline of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The upcoming Jewar Airport, touted to be among the largest in Asia, is acting as a powerful magnet, pulling in real estate developers, institutional investors and global attention.

Several developers, including the Purvanchal Group, VVIP Group, Eldeco Group and Greenbay Infrastructure, have bought land on the Yamuna Expressway and some have already launched housing projects.

Besides, the airport is expected to trigger a multi-phase boom across sectors. From warehousing and logistics parks to hospitality hubs and premium residential clusters, a full-fledged ecosystem is beginning to take shape. This airport-led development is not just enhancing connectivity; it’s creating a ripple effect that’s redrawing the real estate map of the entire Yamuna Expressway region.

“Yamuna Expressway’s growth is rooted in its unmatched potential. With institutional developments, global connectivity and state-backed infra support, the area is destined to become NCR’s next economic and lifestyle hub,” said Yash Miglani, MD, Migsun Group. “We have invested significantly in this belt, and the kind of interest we’re seeing from our investors is unprecedented. As developers, we think the corridor is a blueprint for next-generation urban growth.”

Umesh Rathore, VP, Sales and Marketing, VVIP Group, said, “With the development happening in and around the Yamuna Expressway, the entire region is at the cusp of transformation. Besides, Noida International Airport, together with the connectivity of the DMIC corridor to this region, act as a major catalyst. Hence, the demand here is real, and with the rising prices, we have recognised the area’s potential and acquired a land parcel along the corridor, contributing to its growth.”

Besides, the belt is turning into a high-growth corridor powered by seamless connectivity and robust infrastructure planning. With smooth access to Delhi and Agra, upcoming metro links and proposed pod taxi services, mobility is set to improve dramatically.

The region is strategically positioned near major economic catalysts such as logistics hubs, warehousing parks, the upcoming Film City and the Sports City.

YEIDA is accelerating this momentum by encouraging integrated township developments, industrial clusters and land auctions. When taken as a whole, these changes are turning the Yamuna belt from a peripheral area into a hub for real estate and economic expansion.

“Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth, and Noida International Airport and metro expansions are already repositioning the Yamuna belt as a global urban node. Every new development in the region is a textbook example of how highways and airports can unlock long-term real estate potential,” said Neeraj Sharma, MD, Escon Infra Realtors.

“With its strategic location, evolving connectivity and investor confidence, this belt is set to outpace even the most optimistic projections.”

Vishal Sabharwal, Head, Sales, Orris Group, said, “With strategic infrastructure and visionary planning, the region is evolving into an aerotropolis where real estate growth is no longer a possibility, but a certainty. The ripple effect of connectivity is drawing investors, corporates, and end-users alike.”

Thus, the Yamuna Expressway is turning into a prime investment nucleus fuelled by mega-infrastructure, policy support and strategic location. With the Noida International Airport acting as a catalyst, and a surge in developer activity already under way, the region is witnessing a tectonic shift in urban planning and investment potential.
