How to read the confidence ratings: High = government or statutory-authority primary source (YEIDA scheme rate, official airport announcement). Med-High = published research from a named firm (ANAROCK, Knight Frank, CBRE, Engel & Völkers). Medium = portal-aggregated data cited by a named publication. Low = broker or analyst forward estimate; do not treat as a commitment.

Appreciation Chart — YEIDA plot rate and corridor apartment price series

The chart below visualises the two price series for which we have anchor data points: the YEIDA authority plot allotment rate (2024 and 2026 scheme) and the Yamuna Expressway apartment price series (2020 and 2025, per MagicBricks via Business Today). Intermediate values in the chart series are interpolated estimates — only the anchor data points carry the confidence ratings above.

Chart sources: YEIDA plot scheme data (authority rates, High confidence); MagicBricks via Business Today Nov 2025 (Yamuna Expressway apt price, Medium confidence). Intermediate points are Vidastu estimates. This chart is an illustrative visualisation, not a transaction-verified price index. Past trends are not a forecast.

Verified facts vs broker estimates — separated explicitly

Why this section exists

The most common source of NRI investor error in this corridor is treating broker marketing figures as verified facts. This table makes the distinction explicit. Government and authority data are listed separately from broker and analyst estimates. Knowing which is which is the whole point of this index.

Category A — Government / authority / officially-announced data

Figure Source Status
Airport open for domestic ops: 15 Jun 2026 Official YIAPL / airport authority, Jun 2026 Verified fact
International terminal target: Oct 2026 Official YIAPL announcement Verified target — not yet delivered as of Jun 2026
Airport originally targeted ~2022; ~4 yr delay Publicly documented timeline history Verified fact
YEIDA plot rate ₹ 25,900/sq m (2024) YEIDA scheme data Authority-set rate — verified per scheme
YEIDA plot rate ~₹ 35,000/sq m (2026) YEIDA scheme data Authority-set rate — verify against latest scheme brochure

Category B — Published research / attributed reports (Medium-High / Medium confidence)

Figure Source Status
Noida apts +92%, Greater Noida +98% (2020–Q1 2025) ANAROCK Research, 2025–26 Attributed research data; historical only; not independently verified
Yamuna Expwy apt price ₹ 3,200 (2020) → ₹ 8,923 (2025) MagicBricks via Business Today, Nov 2025 Portal-aggregated, cited by named publication; Medium confidence
Airport is “strong demand catalyst” Knight Frank India & CBRE, April 2026 Attributed analyst opinion — qualitative, not a return forecast
Dubai gross yield ~6.7%; Dubai 2025 appreciation ~10% Engel & Völkers, April 2026 Attributed market report; gross figures, not net

Category C — Broker / analyst forward estimates (Low confidence — NOT guaranteed)

Figure Source Status
Forward appreciation ~20–30% (2026–27) Broker/analyst estimates, e.g. ERM Global (2026) Estimate only. NOT a guarantee. NOT a commitment. Prices can fall.
Any specific % gain quoted in developer marketing Project-specific developer/broker material Promotional estimate — not an authoritative figure
Category C figures should be treated as sales projections, not investment facts. Brokers and analysts who project 20–30% appreciation have an interest in transactions. Optimistic scenarios are modelled; downside scenarios are often not presented. Always ask for the bear case before committing capital.

Methodology & sources

How this index is built

Vidastu compiles publicly available, attributed data from named primary and secondary sources. We do not generate original research. We do not have access to YEIDA's raw transaction database, NIC stamp-duty records, or private researcher datasets. Our role is to identify the most credible public sources, attribute them with full specificity, and apply honest confidence ratings so readers can weigh each figure appropriately.

Source details

What this index does not include

How to read this index — caveats and honest context

This section is intentionally direct. Data indices about real estate carry risks if read without context. We list those risks plainly.

1. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation

The ANAROCK figures (+92%, +98%) reflect a specific historical cycle: 2020 was a COVID-depressed base year, and the 2020–2025 run benefited from demand recovery, structural supply shortage, and historically low interest rates in the early part of the cycle. These conditions have partially normalised. A 2026 buyer starts from a substantially higher base than a 2020 buyer. The same compounding does not repeat.

2. YEIDA plots are illiquid

Unlike an apartment in a developed society, a YEIDA leasehold plot trades on a thin secondary market. Price discovery is opaque; forced-sale discounts can be significant. YEIDA’s transfer permission process adds friction to every resale. If your investment horizon is under five years or if you may need to exit on short notice, this asset class carries material liquidity risk.

3. Infrastructure timelines have historically slipped by approximately four years

The Noida International Airport opened roughly four years after its originally stated 2022 target. The same slippage pattern applies to planned metro extensions, the YEIDA Film City, and several institutional anchors in the corridor. Every infrastructure catalyst you factor into your return model should be stress-tested with a 2–4 year delay scenario.

4. The 20–30% forward estimate is a Low-confidence broker figure — not guaranteed

This figure appears in broker and analyst materials because it is optimistic and useful for marketing. It is not a contractual commitment. It reflects a best-case scenario modelled by professionals with an interest in transactions. Real estate prices in emerging corridors can and do fall — particularly if supply outpaces demand, if infrastructure is further delayed, or if macroeconomic conditions shift.

5. Currency risk for NRIs

NRIs investing AED, GBP, USD or CAD into Indian property face INR/foreign-currency exchange rate risk. A 15% depreciation in the INR over a 7–10 year hold reduces your foreign-currency return by 15 percentage points when proceeds are repatriated. Factor this into your return model, not just the INR property price movement.

6. YEIDA plot allotment rates are not resale market prices

The YEIDA authority rate (₹ 35,000/sq m in 2026) is the price at which YEIDA allots plots through its scheme lottery. The secondary market — where existing allottees sell their plots — operates at its own prices, which may be above or below the authority rate depending on sector, plot size, and demand. Do not assume the authority rate equals the resale market value.

7. Dubai comparison is illustrative, not prescriptive

The Dubai benchmark (gross yield ~6.7%, appreciation ~10% in 2025) is included because many NRI investors considering the Jewar corridor are Dubai-based and hold or are considering Dubai property. These are different markets with different risk profiles, liquidity, regulatory frameworks, and currency exposures. Neither is universally superior; neither return can be applied to the other market.

8. This index is general information, not financial advice

Nothing in this index is, or should be read as, legal, tax or financial advice. Rules change; individual circumstances differ. Consult a qualified CA, a FEMA-specialised advisor, and your authorised-dealer bank before making any investment decision. UP-RERA registration (UPRERAAGT000309/01/2026) does not constitute an endorsement of any specific investment decision.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Jewar Corridor Appreciation Index measure?

This index compiles the publicly available, attributed data points that describe how property values have moved in the Jewar–YEIDA corridor: YEIDA authority residential plot rates (2024 and 2026), ANAROCK apartment appreciation for Noida and Greater Noida (2020 to Q1 2025), the Yamuna Expressway apartment price series, broker forward estimates, and a Dubai gross yield benchmark for comparison. Every figure is attributed to its source, dated, and confidence-rated. The index does not generate original research and is a general-information resource, not financial advice.

What is the YEIDA authority plot rate in 2026?

Approximately Rs 35,000 per sq m, per YEIDA plot scheme data for the 2026 scheme. The 2024 scheme rate was approximately Rs 25,900 per sq m — a ~35% increase in the authority-set rate over two years. Confidence: High. This is the allotment price set by YEIDA as a statutory authority; secondary-market resale prices may differ. Always verify the current rate directly from the official YEIDA scheme brochure before transacting.

How much did Noida and Greater Noida apartments appreciate between 2020 and 2025?

According to ANAROCK Research, Noida residential apartments appreciated approximately 92% and Greater Noida approximately 98% between 2020 and Q1 2025. Confidence: Medium-High. Key caveats: 2020 is a COVID-depressed base year, these figures cover a specific demand cycle, and past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. A 2026 buyer starts from a substantially higher base.

Is the 20–30% forward appreciation estimate reliable?

No — it is a broker and analyst estimate with a Low confidence rating. It reflects an optimistic scenario modelled by professionals who have an interest in transactions. It is not a contractual commitment, not a government or research firm's forecast, and not a basis for financial commitment. Real estate prices can fall as well as rise. Treat it as a best-case scenario only, and model a downside case before committing capital.

Is the Noida International Airport (DXN) open?

Yes — for domestic operations. It opened on 15 June 2026, approximately four years later than its originally stated 2022 target. International terminal operations are targeted from October 2026 but are not yet operational as of June 2026. Knight Frank India and CBRE described the airport as a strong demand catalyst for the corridor in April 2026 — a qualitative analyst view, not a return forecast. The four-year delay is a material data point for anyone modelling infrastructure-linked real estate returns.

How do Jewar corridor yields compare to Dubai?

Dubai residential gross yields averaged approximately 6.7% in April 2026 per Engel & Völkers. Net yields run lower after fees, vacancy, and service charges. The Jewar corridor does not have equivalent rental yield data — the rental market near the newly operational airport is nascent, and the YEIDA residential sector is primarily a capital-appreciation thesis. Dubai offers higher current income and better liquidity; the Jewar corridor offers an earlier-stage entry with potentially higher capital appreciation upside and significantly higher illiquidity and infrastructure risk. These are fundamentally different risk-return profiles and are not directly comparable.

Can NRIs invest in the YEIDA corridor?

Yes. Under FEMA and the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules 2019, NRIs and OCIs can purchase residential property and YEIDA residential plot scheme allotments without prior RBI approval, paying via NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts in INR through banking channels. Agricultural land, farmhouses, and plantation property remain prohibited. Confirm individual eligibility with a FEMA advisor before transacting.
