Data reference · updated June 2026
A transparent data-reference index for the Jewar–YEIDA corridor: every metric is attributed to its source, dated, and given an honest confidence rating. Government and authority data are clearly separated from broker estimates. No return is implied or guaranteed. Vidastu compiles this index as a due-diligence resource for NRI investors; it is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Consult your CA and a FEMA advisor before transacting.
These are the five most-cited metrics for the Jewar–YEIDA corridor. Each is attributed below; click to the Master Data Table for full sourcing and confidence ratings.
This table is the core asset of this page. Every row carries a Value, a Source and date, and a Confidence rating (High / Medium-High / Medium / Low). Government and authority figures are rated High or Medium-High; broker and analyst forward estimates are rated Low. Read the confidence ratings before drawing conclusions.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nothing in this index is, or should be read as, legal, tax or financial advice. Rules change; individual circumstances differ.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
