YEIDA Sector 5A Plot Scheme 2026: 40 sq m LIG and 162 to 300 sq m Plots Near Noida Airport

What is confirmed about the Sector 5-A scheme, and what is not?

The confirmed layer is thin and consistent: the sector, the two schemes, the two size bands and the three-authority exclusion. Every outlet that covered the story between 16 August and 5 September 2026 repeats those four facts in the same words, which usually means one source document behind all of them, most likely a board-meeting briefing. The earliest dated version we found is a post on X on 16 August 2026; 99acres, ERM Global Investors, Shiva Associates and Ghosh & Ghosh followed with the same four facts and nothing new.

Everything a buyer actually needs to act on sits in the gap column. No rate. No plot count by scheme. No module list. No date. No brochure. No RERA number. The 4,000 figure is reported, not confirmed, and the one channel that names both Sectors 5-A and 15C together suggests it may be an area total rather than a Sector 5-A count. The LIG scheme's income ceiling and category proof, which decide who can apply for the 40 sq m plots at all, appear nowhere.

When does the YEIDA Sector 5-A scheme open?

Nobody has a date. What exists is a reported window, Navratri, and a reported dependency: Ghosh & Ghosh writes that the launch waits on the scheme's RERA registration and final approvals. Sharad Navratri 2026 runs from Sunday 11 October to Monday 19 October, with Vijayadashami on Tuesday 20 October. Reported

The one clock we can show is the last scheme's. RPS-10/2026's brochure was dated 4 April 2026, the portal opened on 6 April, and the draw was held on 18 June 2026 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida: 73 days from launch to draw. Computed If Sector 5-A opens inside the Navratri window and repeats that clock, and only then, a draw lands in the last ten days of December 2026. That is arithmetic on a precedent, not a schedule; YEIDA has published no schedule. Computed

Where the launch will show first, in the order it tends to happen: the scheme list on yamunaexpresswayauthority.com, the brochure summary on investyeida.in, and the UP-RERA register, where the authority files under its own name. The register spells that name YAMUNA EXPRESSWAY INDUSTRIAL DEVLOPMENT AUTHORITY, with the missing E, and joins scheme prefixes to numbers four different ways; our page on YEIDA's own filings shows every one of them so you can search by registration number instead of guessing the name.

What will a Sector 5-A plot cost?

The price has not been announced, and this page does not guess it. What we can print is the rate series it will join. YEIDA's residential allotment rate was ₹25,900 per sq m in RPS-08/2024 and ₹36,260 per sq m at the RPS-10/2026 draw, a rise of about 40% in roughly 21 months; the full dated series, with its gaps, is in YEIDA corridor price history 2019 to 2026. Confirmed

At the RPS-10 rate, and only as a way of sizing the cheque, a 40 sq m plot is ₹14,50,400, a 162 sq m plot is ₹58,74,120 and a 300 sq m plot is ₹1,08,78,000, each before preferential location charges and other dues. RPS-10's brochure summary capped PLC at not more than 15% of the premium for any single plot. Computed The 40 sq m LIG plot is about 430 sq ft, or just under 48 sq yd, which is the number to hold if you think in yards. Computed

Two things the brochure decides and no report has touched: whether the LIG scheme is priced on the same per-sq-m basis as the general scheme, and the lease terms. RPS-08/2024 was a 90-year leasehold with a one-time lease rent of 10% of the premium; RPS-10/2026's terms are in its own brochure. Read the lease page of the Sector 5-A brochure before the payment page. Gap

Who can apply for the Sector 5-A scheme, and who is barred?

The one confirmed rule is the exclusion. If you, or in RPS-10's wording your spouse or a dependent child, already hold a residential plot allotted by YEIDA, Noida Authority or Greater Noida Authority, you cannot apply. Check that before anything else, because the registration money goes in with the form and a rejected application on eligibility grounds is a refund you wait for, not a plot you keep. Confirmed

The rest is RPS-10's rulebook until the new brochure replaces it: applicants aged 18 or over, one application per person, joint applications only within the immediate family with proof of relationship, and Indian citizens and eligible NRIs both allowed. NRI applicants have a separate set of practical questions, from the remittance route to who signs the lease deed, which we cover in the NRI buying guide for the Yamuna Expressway. Reported

For the 40 sq m scheme there is a second gate nobody has described: LIG status. Low-income-group schemes normally carry an annual household income ceiling and ask for proof. Neither the ceiling nor the proof has been published for Sector 5-A. Gap

Is there an HIG or MIG plot scheme in Sector 5-A?

Not as announced. The two schemes named are the 40 sq m LIG scheme and the general scheme of 162 to 300 sq m plots. Nothing labelled HIG or MIG appears in any report as of 10 September 2026. The general scheme's range starts where RPS-10's smallest module started, 162 sq m, and runs ten sq m past RPS-10's largest, 290 sq m, so a buyer who missed a 200 or 223 sq m plot in June is looking at the general scheme, not at a category that does not exist yet. If the brochure adds a third scheme, it is added here the same day. Gap

Will 4,000 new plots move resale prices for 160 sq m plots?

We do not forecast prices, and this page will not. Two facts are worth holding apart. The authority allotment rate is what YEIDA charges the person it allots to; a resale price is whatever two private parties agree on a plot already allotted, and the two are different numbers set by different people. Our price-history page documents the authority series only, because that is the series with dated primary sources.

On supply, the arithmetic is plain: RPS-10/2026 offered 973 plots against a reported 1,05,842 to 1,10,034 applications, and a scheme of close to 4,000 plots is about four times that offer. Computed What that means for a seller's asking price in Sector 18 or 22D is a conversation we have with you on the phone, plot by plot, not a prediction we print.

What is RPS-10A, and is it confirmed?

Not by the authority. The claim comes from one broker channel: PROPDART's video of 11 August 2026 says a scheme called RPS-10A is coming with 1,500 plots of 40 sq m in Sectors 17, 18 and 20, "after a month". Reported On 10 September 2026 there was no RPS-10A on the authority's site or on Invest YEIDA. It may be the same 40 sq m LIG scheme under an earlier working name, it may be a separate tranche, or it may not happen. We log it here as a broker's expectation and nothing more; if it appears, it gets its own row in the table above with a source and a date.

Sector 5-A ka plot scheme kab aayega aur kaise apply karein?

Abhi tak koi date nahi hai. Report yeh hai ki scheme Navratri, yaani 11 se 19 October 2026, ke dauran aayegi, lekin brochure, rate aur application date YEIDA ne 10 September 2026 tak publish nahi ki hai. Do scheme batayi gayi hain: 40 sq m ke LIG plots, aur 162 se 300 sq m ke general plots. Jinko pehle YEIDA, Noida Authority ya Greater Noida Authority se residential plot mila hai, woh apply nahi kar sakte. Apply hamesha yamunaexpresswayauthority.com par hi hota hai, kisi broker ke link se nahi. RPS-10 mein ₹600 application fee thi aur plot value ka 10% registration amount saath jama hota tha, jo draw mein naam na aane par poora wapas milta hai. Brochure aate hi yeh page usi din update hoga.

How to be ready before the brochure drops

1. Clear the exclusion first. Ask every member of the immediate family whether an allotment from YEIDA, Noida Authority or Greater Noida Authority exists in their name. One forgotten 2014 allotment in a spouse's name is a rejected application.
2. Park the registration money in the account you will register. At the RPS-10 rate that is about ₹1.45 lakh for 40 sq m, ₹5.87 lakh for 162 sq m and ₹10.88 lakh for 300 sq m; the brochure's rate replaces those numbers, so keep headroom.
3. Scan the RPS-10 document set now: identity proof, address proof, photograph, signature and bank details were the five things the last portal asked for. Add income proof if you intend to apply under LIG.
4. Read three brochure pages before paying the fee: the eligibility clause, the PLC and lease-rent clauses, and the payment schedule after allotment. RPS-10's summary capped PLC at 15% of the premium; the new brochure may not.
5. Pick the module before the portal opens. The general scheme will almost certainly list several sizes inside 162 to 300 sq m, and the application asks for one.
6. Know what happens after a win. The allotment letter starts a clock: lease deed, building plan approval, and the ground coverage and FAR that decide how much house the plot holds. Those are walked through in Won a YEIDA plot: what next, the lease deed after allotment and how much you can build on a YEIDA plot.

If the draw does not go your way, the refund path and the realistic alternatives are in what to do after the YEIDA draw, written after RPS-10 sent about 99% of applicants home with a refund.
