The confirmed record: two numbers in eight years — not a chart

A clean "YEIDA price history 2019–2026" chart implies a data point for every year. Ours doesn't have one, and we'd rather say that plainly than draw a smooth line through six missing years. What actually survives verification is two dated, primary-source figures: an office order (YEA/Vitt/209/2021) setting FY2021-22 rates, and a scheme brochure (RPS-08/2024) setting a residual-plot premium for FY2024 Confirmed.

The 2021 order set residential land at ₹17,800/sqm for plots up to 200 sqm and ₹17,400/sqm for larger plots — smaller plots priced slightly higher per square metre, a common pattern in allotment schemes. The same order set group housing at ₹18,200/sqm, commercial at ₹38,000–46,000/sqm, and industrial at ₹7,010/sqm, effective retrospectively from 1 April 2021 Confirmed (YEIDA office order, uploaded Dec 2021). None of those three other categories — group housing, commercial, industrial — has a matching 2024 figure in our source set, so we're not attempting a percentage change on them.

The 2024 figure is narrower in scope than the 2021 order: it's a premium rate for 361 specific residual plots across Sectors 16, 18, 20 and 22D, offered through scheme RPS-08/2024 (window 5 July–5 August 2024, draw 20 September 2024), carrying RERA numbers UPRERAPRJ282078/8756/205883/563740, on a 90-year leasehold with a 10% one-time lease rent Confirmed (official 2024 brochure, dated 5 Jul 2024). "Residual plots" typically means leftover or re-offered inventory from earlier schemes, which can carry a different premium logic than a standing annual base rate — worth flagging before treating this as a clean like-for-like successor to the 2021 figure.

What we can — and can't — say moved the rate

Doing the arithmetic on just the two confirmed numbers: ₹17,800 → ₹25,900/sqm is a 45.5% rise; ₹17,400 → ₹25,900/sqm is a 48.9% rise. Call it roughly 46–49% over about three years. That's our own calculation from the two confirmed data points above, not a figure either YEIDA document states directly — and it compares a base annual rate to a residual-plot scheme premium, which is a proxy for corridor-wide movement, not a precise one.

Here's what we won't do: assert that a specific event caused that rise. Nothing in our source set — neither the 2021 office order nor the 2024 scheme brochure — names a driver for its own number; both are administrative rate-setting documents, not explanatory ones. What we can say is what else was happening on the corridor in the same window, without claiming causation: the Ghaziabad–Jewar RRTS extension received only in-principle UP-government approval in December 2023, months before the 2024 scheme opened Confirmed (Metro Rail Today, 15 Dec 2025 report referencing the original approval date). Noida International Airport itself was still years from opening in mid-2024 — it wouldn't receive DGCA aerodrome licensing until March 2026 Confirmed (Wikipedia). Both facts sit in the same calendar window as the rate change; neither is documented anywhere in our sources as its cause. [[CONFIRM: any YEIDA board-meeting minutes or press statement that explicitly explains the 2024 rate revision]] — if that record exists, we haven't found it yet.

Sector-level notes — only where the record actually says something

The 2024 scheme names four sectors by number: 16, 18, 20 and 22D. Beyond that shared scheme figure, here is what else our sources confirm sector by sector — and where they don't, we say so instead of filling the gap with a guess. One important distinction runs through all of it: YEIDA's own numbers are ₹/sqm authority land-allotment rates; everything below from private developers is a ₹/sqft built-product price — a different unit, a different buyer, a different market layer. They shouldn't be blended into one number.

Sector 22D

Besides its place in the RPS-08/2024 scheme, Sector 22D is where the corridor's most-covered private launches sit. Gaur Chrysalis, a Gaursons project on a roughly 12-acre parcel, launched Phase 1 on 7 November 2025 with RERA registration UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025 (covering 7 of 9 planned towers), at a reported launch price of ₹8,000/sqft per Business Standard, independently matched at ₹7,999/sqft by HedgeHomes Confirmed. Also in Sector 22D: ACE Terra (₹2.63 Cr onwards, RERA UPRERAPRJ683816, possession Dec 2028), ACE Edit (₹85.76L onwards, RERA UPRERAPRJ467686/09/2025), ACE YXP (₹1.50 Cr onwards, RERA UPRERAPRJ397607) — all confirmed identically across ACE Group's own site — and Eldeco Echoes of Eden (RERA UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, ~558 units across 3 towers on 5 acres, possession Jan 2031) Confirmed. None of these ₹/sqft figures should be read as a YEIDA land-rate number — they're finished-product developer prices layered on top of whatever the underlying land cost the developer.

Sector 22A

Sector 22A carries two ACE Group projects: ACE Verde (₹2 Cr onwards, RERA UPRERAPRJ913692/03/2025, possession Apr 2029) and the commercial ACE Hive (₹92L onwards, RERA UPRERAPRJ939595/03/2025) Confirmed — again, developer built-product prices, not YEIDA land rates. We found no sector-22A-specific YEIDA allotment figure separate from the 2021/2024 corridor-wide numbers.

Sector 18

Beyond its inclusion in the 2024 residual-plot scheme, Sector 18 also sits on the path of the revised Ghaziabad–Jewar RRTS alignment that NCRTC was ordered to prepare after the original DPR was sent back in December 2025 Confirmed (Metro Rail Today, 15 Dec 2025) — worth noting only because it means Sector 18 is one of the sectors a future rail link might eventually pass through, not that one does today. We found no independent sector-18-specific land-rate figure beyond the shared 2024 scheme number.

Sector 20

We found no sector-20-specific fact beyond its inclusion in the 2024 residual-plot scheme. If a broker quotes a Sector 20-specific "current rate," ask them directly which document it comes from — we couldn't find one in this review.

The blind spot that matters most: 2025–2026

Gap The single biggest infrastructure event on this entire corridor — Noida International Airport actually opening — falls exactly inside our data gap. DGCA licensing landed 6 March 2026, Phase I was inaugurated 28 March 2026, and commercial flights began 15 June 2026 Confirmed (Wikipedia; Business Today, reported 1 May 2026) — all within the same 2025–2026 window where we have zero official YEIDA rate data. That is worth sitting with: the most-cited catalyst for this corridor's future pricing is now a confirmed, dated fact, and we still can't tell you what YEIDA's own land rate did in response, because YEIDA hasn't published one where we could find it.

Anyone showing you a "post-airport-opening" YEIDA rate right now should be asked, plainly, which document it comes from — because as of this writing, we could not locate one.

What this price history does not tell you

Even a fully-populated version of the table above would still leave real gaps between "official rate" and "what a buyer actually experiences." A few, named directly:

Hype Grey-market plot-price folklore is unattributed and self-contradicting. One Quora thread (a self-described Greater Noida resident since 1982) claims roughly 22,000 YEIDA plots were allotted in 2009, with grey-market rates running about ₹11,000/sqm before the Film City announcement, spiking about 40% in 25 days to roughly ₹16,000/sqm on the news, then correcting to ₹12,000–14,000/sqm — and separately predicts ₹30,000/sqm "after 10 years." A different, more recent answer on the same thread calls the corridor "hyped multiple times its real worth"; the most-upvoted answer on the page is flatly bearish, calling it "a ghost city" for the next 40 years. None of these figures are attached to a named, checkable transaction — treat all of it as community sentiment, not price data.

Hype Portal "asking prices" are not YEIDA land rates, and shouldn't be blended with them. SquareYards reports ACE Parkway's resale asking price moving from ₹13,450/sqft (Jun 2025) to ₹14,450/sqft (Q1'26) — about 7.4% over three quarters, across 78 active listings, median ₹14.4K/sqft Reported (SquareYards, 2026-03 update, explicitly labelled a portal "asking price," not a verified transaction). We're citing it here only to make a unit-and-market-layer point: ACE Parkway itself sits in Sector 150 under Noida Authority, not YEIDA jurisdiction at all — a different authority, a different rate table, and a resale ₹/sqft figure besides. If a broker's "YEIDA price history" quietly folds numbers like this into the same chart as an authority land rate, that's the blend to watch for.

Hype Naked long-range predictions. The same Quora thread's "₹30,000/sqm after 10 years" line has no stated basis, comparable, or method behind it — a specimen of the unfalsifiable appreciation claims that circulate on every corridor with a pending catalyst. Treat any undated, unsourced multi-year price prediction the same way.

How to verify any of this yourself

For YEIDA's current official rate, start at yamunaexpresswayauthority.com and look for the specific scheme brochure PDF rather than a summary page — as this review found, the live rates page itself can be functionally empty even when a current brochure exists elsewhere on the same site. For any specific project's RERA status, check up-rera.in directly rather than trusting a microsite's "RERA approved" claim at face value. For portal asking-price trends, remember the label: an "asking price" on a resale listing is not a transacted price and is not a YEIDA rate, no matter how confidently a chart presents it as one.
