Vidastu Advisory·UP-RERA Agent UPRERAAGT000309/01/2026·Sourced to Times of India, 29 Jul 2026
The full breakdown, answer first
Per UP-RERA's half-yearly report, reported by the Times of India, 29 July 2026, Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) and Ghaziabad together accounted for 61% of Uttar Pradesh's entire H1 2026 real-estate investment — the report's own headline rounds this to 60%. Statewide, UP-RERA approved 143 projects worth ₹31,952 crore between January and June 2026. Noida alone contributed 27 projects, ₹15,678 crore and 13,160 units; Ghaziabad added 19 projects, ₹3,989 crore and 9,500 units — a combined ₹19,000 crore and roughly 22,660 units, or 49% of all units approved statewide. Lucknow had the highest project count of any single district (37 projects) on a smaller ₹3,834-crore value. UP-RERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy called the numbers a sign of “growing confidence among homebuyers and investors.” This page names every figure’s source and never states a project was “in this report” unless the report itself says so — verify directly at up-rera.in.

What UP-RERA's H1 2026 report actually says
Twice a year, UP-RERA (the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority) publishes a half-yearly summary of every project it approved and registered in that window. The H1 2026 edition, covering January through June, was reported by the Times of India on 29 July 2026. Statewide, the regulator approved 143 projects worth ₹31,952 crore in the six-month period — and of that entire investment pool, 61% landed in just two districts: Noida and Ghaziabad. Everything on this page traces back to that one report, attributed exactly as it was reported, with nothing added and nothing rounded further than the source itself rounds.
Every district figure in the report, in one table
The report, as covered by TOI, names three districts individually — Noida, Ghaziabad and Lucknow — against the statewide total. Below is every one of those figures, unchanged from the source.

*The 46-project combined count is our own arithmetic (27 + 19), not a figure UP-RERA's report states directly. The ₹19,000-crore combined investment, the ~22,660-unit combined count, the 49%-of-units figure and the 61% investment share are all the report's own stated figures, unchanged. UP-RERA's release, as covered by TOI, breaks out only these three districts by name — the remaining projects and value sit inside the statewide total without a named district. Always cross-check the live registration of any specific project at up-rera.in.
What the 61% concentration means for corridor buyers
Noida's report figure is filed at the Gautam Buddh Nagar district level — the same administrative district that contains Greater Noida and the YEIDA Sector 22D corridor along the Yamuna Expressway. That doesn't mean every rupee of the district's ₹15,678 crore sits on this specific corridor; UP-RERA's release doesn't break the district down further, so a corridor-only figure isn't stated and shouldn't be assumed. What the 61% concentration does show, plainly, is that regulator-approved project activity across Noida and Ghaziabad district as a whole is running well ahead of the rest of the state in this six-month window — a genuine indication of investor confidence in the district these corridor projects sit inside, not a promise about any individual project's price or timeline.
The infrastructure-driver quote
UP-RERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy, commenting on the report, said the numbers reflect “growing confidence among homebuyers and investors.” An analyst quoted in the same TOI report, Ashish Kumar, pointed to expressways, metro connectivity, industrial corridors and smart-city programmes as the drivers behind that concentration — the same category of infrastructure this corridor is built around.
“Expressways, metro connectivity, industrial corridors, and smart-city programmes” — cited as the drivers behind Noida and Ghaziabad's investment share.

Where this report's window ends — and what comes after
H1 2026 runs January through June. Eldeco Echoes of Eden, RERA-registered UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026 in February 2026, was registered within the period this report covers — though UP-RERA's release names no individual project, so it cannot be said to have been specifically counted in these figures, only that its registration date sits inside the window. Gaur Alaris (RERA UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026) registered on 28 July 2026, after the H1 window closed on 30 June — it falls in H2 2026 and was not part of this report. We read it as part of the same broader corridor investment momentum this report documents, never as a project this specific report includes.
Reading rule on this page Every figure above is attributed to UP-RERA's report, as reported by the Times of India. Where a project's own registration date is compared against the report's window, that comparison is our own dated fact-check, clearly separated from the report's own statewide and district totals.
The corridor-side companion to this report — supply, pricing bands and infrastructure across the YEIDA belt — is the YEIDA Corridor Investment Report 2026; the two are designed to be read together.
Frequently asked questions
What did UP-RERA's H1 2026 report actually find?
Per UP-RERA's half-yearly report, reported by the Times of India on 29 July 2026, Uttar Pradesh approved 143 real-estate projects worth ₹31,952 crore between January and June 2026. Of that statewide total, Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) and Ghaziabad together accounted for 61% of the investment value — the report's own headline rounds this to 60%.
Which district got the most real-estate investment in H1 2026?
Noida, by value: 27 projects worth ₹15,678 crore and 13,160 units, per UP-RERA's report as reported by the Times of India. Ghaziabad added 19 projects, ₹3,989 crore and 9,500 units. Lucknow had the highest project count of any single district — 37 projects — but a smaller ₹3,834-crore value and 9,872 units.
Does Noida's 61% share include Yamuna Expressway / YEIDA Sector 22D projects?
The report's "Noida" figure is filed at the Gautam Buddh Nagar (GB Nagar) district level, and Greater Noida and the YEIDA Sector 22D corridor sit within that same district — so corridor registrations fall inside the district total the report cites. UP-RERA's own release does not break GB Nagar down further by sub-area, so a corridor-only figure inside the 27 projects / ₹15,678 crore is not stated and should not be assumed.
Was Eldeco Echoes of Eden or Gaur Alaris part of this H1 2026 report?
Eldeco Echoes of Eden was RERA-registered in February 2026, which sits inside the report's Jan–Jun 2026 window — it was registered within the period the report covers, though UP-RERA's release does not name individual projects, so we cannot say it was specifically counted in these figures. Gaur Alaris registered on 28 July 2026, which is after the H1 window closed on 30 June — it is part of the same broader investment momentum this report documents, but it falls in H2 2026 and was not part of this report.
UP-RERA ke H1 2026 report mein Noida-Ghaziabad ka 61% share ka matlab kya hai buyers ke liye?
UP-RERA ke half-yearly report ke mutabik, jise Times of India ne 29 July 2026 ko report kiya, Noida aur Ghaziabad ne milkar UP ke H1 2026 real-estate investment ka 61% le liya. Iska matlab hai ki regulator ke paas dakhil hue naye project registrations is corridor mein sabse zyada concentrate hain — yeh homebuyers aur investors ke beech growing confidence ka ek signal hai, jaisa ki UP-RERA chairperson ne khud kaha. Yeh koi price-rise ka vaada nahi hai — har project ka apna RERA number khud up-rera.in par verify karo.
Where can I verify these UP-RERA figures myself?
Read the original Times of India report at timesofindia.indiatimes.com (search "60% of UP's real estate investment in Noida, Ghaziabad", published 29 July 2026), which cites UP-RERA's own half-yearly release. For any individual project's registration status, search directly at up-rera.in — do not rely on a brochure, broker or this page as a substitute for that check.
