In one paragraph
Whether a quote is fair comes down to one thing you can actually check: how it sits against a real, dated reference for that exact project or plot — not against another sales pitch. Pick what you were quoted on, enter the ₹/sq.ft (or ₹/sq.m for a plot), and this gauge compares it to the founder-stated indicative reference: ₹9,300/sq.ft for an Eldeco Echoes of Eden apartment in Sector 22D, a pre-launch ₹16,995/sq.ft indicative for ACE Parkway 2.0 (a different Noida micro-market), or ~₹1,00,000/sq.m for a YEIDA residential plot at current market rates. Ref-note: 2026 RPS-10 rate. It tells you whether you are above, roughly at, or below that reference — and, either way, the one question to take back to the desk: what is actually inside the number, and does the written RERA cost sheet match. It is a reference check, not a valuation and not an offer.
The references this gauge uses — dated and tagged
So the numbers are here in plain text for anyone who doesn’t run the tool. Each reference is founder-stated and indicative as of 12 July 2026, and none is a valuation or an offer — the exact figure for your unit or plot always belongs on the written, RERA-filed cost sheet.
Match the quote to the right reference
Use the reference for the exact thing you were quoted on — a specific project’s apartment, or a YEIDA plot — not a rate borrowed from a different project or a different micro-market. A Noida-Expressway rate and a Yamuna-Expressway rate are not interchangeable.
Compare like units
Apartments are quoted per sq.ft; YEIDA plots are quoted per sq.m under the authority scheme rate. Convert your figure to the same unit as the reference before comparing, or switch to the “total” tab and let the tool work back the per-unit rate.
Read the gap, not just the direction
Above, roughly at, or below the reference is only the start. A number below the reference is not a signal to move fast — it usually means a different inclusion list, not a hidden bargain.
Ask what is inside the number
Ask exactly what the rate includes — base price, PLC, parking, club, GST, stamp duty — and get it on the written, RERA-filed cost sheet. Verify any project’s RERA status yourself at up-rera.in before you pay anything.
Is a ₹9,300 per sq.ft quote fair for a Sector 22D apartment on the Yamuna Expressway?
There is no single fair number, but there is a real reference. For an apartment in the Eldeco Echoes of Eden project (Sector 22D), the founder-stated indicative rate is
₹9,300 per sq.ft for the Caelum tower, as of 12 July 2026 — the 2 BHK is sold out, and a 3 BHK+2T starts around ₹1.44 Cr. A ₹9,300 quote sits right at that reference, which is a starting point, not a verdict. What settles it is what is inside the number: is it base price only, or does it already include PLC, parking, club, GST and stamp duty? Eldeco Echoes of Eden is RERA-registered as UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, so ask for the RERA-filed cost sheet and confirm the record yourself on
up-rera.in.
founder-stated indicative — always confirm on the written cost sheet.
What is the fair rate per sq.ft in Sector 22D right now?
The reference we work to for Sector 22D is
₹9,300 per sq.ft, founder-stated and indicative, for the Eldeco Echoes of Eden Caelum tower as of 12 July 2026 — the 2 BHK is sold out, and a 3 BHK+2T starts around ₹1.44 Cr. Treat that as a benchmark to test a quote against, not a fixed market price: a genuinely fair rate can still hide charges outside the headline. Ask exactly what the per-sq.ft figure includes, get it on the written RERA-filed cost sheet, and verify the project’s RERA registration at
up-rera.in before you pay anything.
My quote came in below the reference rate, so is it a good deal?
Not automatically, and it is worth slowing down rather than speeding up. A quote below the reference usually means a different inclusion list, not a hidden bargain — the low headline may be base price only, with PLC, parking, club, GST and stamp duty still to come. Treat a below-reference number as a prompt for one question: what exactly is inside this figure, and does the RERA-filed cost sheet match it line for line? A lower number is never, on its own, a reason to rush a decision.
How do I check whether a YEIDA plot price is fair?
Benchmark it against the current market rate, not another seller’s pitch. For a YEIDA residential plot, the reference is the founder-stated current market rate of about
₹1,00,000 per sq.m — the YEIDA scheme allotment rate (~₹36,260/sq.m under RPS-10) is the lottery price, not the market/trading price. Compare your quoted per-sq.m figure to that, confirm it on the current YEIDA notification at
yeida.gov.in, and if a project is involved, verify its RERA status at
up-rera.in and demand the written, RERA-filed cost sheet. Plot rates are quoted per square metre, so check you are comparing sq.m to sq.m.
Can I compare an ACE Parkway 2.0 rate to a Yamuna Expressway apartment price?
Not like-for-like. ACE Parkway 2.0 sits in Sector 150, Noida — a premium Noida-Expressway micro-market that is different from the Yamuna Expressway, so its per-sq.ft does not translate one-to-one to a Sector 22D or YEIDA project. Its founder-stated indicative is ₹16,995 per sq.ft pre-launch, with ₹21,995 projected at launch. It is also pre-RERA: the only instrument is a fully refundable Expression of Interest, and that EOI sits outside the RERA escrow account. Compare each project to its own reference, and confirm everything in writing before you act. pre-RERA · EOI-only
Does a fair per-sq.ft rate mean the whole price is fair?
No — a fair per-sq.ft rate settles only the headline. The all-in number you actually register at adds GST, stamp duty and registration, plus buyer-side charges like IFMS, PLC and parking that vary by project and belong on the written cost sheet, not in the headline. Use this gauge to sanity-check the rate, then run the full number through the
all-in cost view and get every line itemised on the RERA-filed cost sheet before you commit.
How to read the references
Every reference on this page is founder-stated and indicative as of 12 July 2026, provided by Vidit Kaushik for the projects and the authority scheme he works with directly — not scraped market data and not a valuation. The Eldeco Echoes of Eden figure is the Caelum-tower indicative; the project is RERA-registered as UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, confirmable at up-rera.in. ACE Parkway 2.0 (Sector 150, Noida) is pre-launch / pre-RERA and quoted here only as an indicative EOI band. The YEIDA residential-plot reference is the 2026 RPS-10 scheme rate; confirm it on the current notification at yeida.gov.in. Corridor context that is safe to cite — the reported ~95% run in Jewar-adjacent apartment rates from 2023 to 2025, and the operational Noida International Airport — is background, never a forecast. The exact figure for your unit or plot always belongs on the written, RERA-filed cost sheet.
