India’s largest Gulf diaspora
The UAE is home to over 3.5 million Indians — the largest Indian community outside India.
From Kerala and Andhra Pradesh to Gujarat and Maharashtra, millions of families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have built careers here — and now want a home of their own back in India, next to a working international airport. The Jewar corridor is that location.

- Telugu diaspora
- Gujarati families
- Marathi & Punjabi NRIs

Why this corridor, why now
The airport is live. The early-mover window is still open.
India’s largest planned airport just began commercial operations at Jewar — 38 km from Greater Noida. Here is what that has done to land values, stated with sources, not hype.
Sources: Govt of India / Akashvani, Jun 2026 · ANAROCK Research, 2025–26 · YEIDA plot schemes. The airport is currently operating domestic flights only (IndiGo, Akasa) since 15 June 2026; international flights are targeted for the winter schedule (around late October 2026) — not yet operating, with no airlines or routes confirmed. The airport opened approximately four years later than its original target — we state that openly. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
An honest comparison — no spin
Dubai rental yield, or roots and a home you own in India?
You’ve already built your life in Dubai. This is about what you build in India. Here are the numbers — straight, with sources.
Income now
Roots in India
*ANAROCK apartment data 2020→Q1 2025; YEIDA authority figures. Dubai yield figures: Engel & Volkers, April 2026; 2025 price movement: Knight Frank. Dubai net yields run approximately 1.5–2.5% below gross after costs. Jewar is a longer-hold, less-liquid play — Dubai offers verifiable ongoing income. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Many NRIs hold both.
The appreciation story — sourced
Don’t take our word for it. Look at the line.
Toggle between government plot rates and corridor apartment prices on the full data page — every figure attributed and dated.
ANAROCK reports Noida apartments +92% and Greater Noida +98% from 2020 to Q1 2025. YEIDA’s authority allotment rate rose from ₹25,900/sq m (2024) to ₹36,260/sq m (2026, RPS-10).
What this shows: Knight Frank and CBRE (April 2026) describe the operational airport as a strong residential demand catalyst. Forward projections are estimates, not guarantees.

Jewar Plot + Build Cost Calculator · AED
Estimate your investment — in AED.
Send your budget band on WhatsApp and we return an indicative plot + build estimate in AED — no conversion needed. This is an indicative estimate, not a guarantee.
The legal side — in plain English
Dubai residents can buy legally. Here’s how it works.
FEMA and the NDI Rules 2019 permit NRIs and OCIs — including UAE residents — to purchase residential and YEIDA-allotted residential plots. Not agricultural land, not farmhouses.
NRE / NRO / FCNR routing
Pay through your NRE, NRO or FCNR account via normal banking channels. No cash transactions. We coordinate with your India bank.
Power of Attorney — Gulf
A PoA executed in Dubai is consulate-attested (Gulf countries use consulate attestation, not apostille). A trusted person then signs in India on your behalf — no flights required.
RERA 70% escrow
For UP-RERA registered projects, at least 70% of buyer funds are held in a project-specific escrow account, released only against verified milestones (RERA Section 4(2)(l)(D)).
Repatriation & TDS
NRE-funded sale proceeds are repatriable for up to two residential properties; NRO route is capped at USD 1M per year. LTCG TDS is 12.5% (post-23 Jul 2024) plus surcharge/cess unless Form 13 applies. Consult your CA — we flag the forms, not the liability.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Please consult your own CA / FEMA advisor for your specific situation. Read the full NRI FEMA guide →

Questions, answered straight
What Dubai NRIs ask us before they buy.
Can a Dubai-based NRI buy a plot near the Noida airport?
Yes. Under FEMA and the NDI Rules 2019, NRIs and OCIs - including those resident in the UAE - may purchase residential and development-authority-allotted residential plots such as YEIDA plots. Agricultural land, farmhouses and plantations are not permitted. Payment is through NRE/NRO/FCNR accounts. A Power of Attorney executed in Dubai and consulate-attested (Gulf countries) allows a trusted person to sign in India on your behalf. Please confirm eligibility with your CA or FEMA advisor.
How does Dubai property income compare to investing in Jewar?
Dubai apartments delivered a gross rental yield of approximately 7.15% in April 2026 (Engel & Volkers) and saw price appreciation of about 10% in 2025 (Knight Frank). The Jewar corridor delivered land appreciation of +92 - 98% for Noida and Greater Noida apartments from 2020 to Q1 2025 (ANAROCK). Dubai offers verifiable income and high liquidity; Jewar is a longer-hold play on land appreciation plus a home your family owns in India. These are historical figures and past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
