What does turnkey include?

Design, plan approvals, structure (foundation to roof), and finishes (flooring, joinery, electrical, plumbing, fittings) through to a snag-free handover. The exact scope, inclusions and exclusions are fixed in your written agreement before work begins.

How do I see progress and pay from abroad?

You receive photo and video updates on WhatsApp at each stage and can video-call the team. Payments are milestone-linked and matched to verified progress, routed through your NRE/NRO account; a Power of Attorney lets a trusted person sign in India.

NRI Plot + Build · Yamuna Expressway / YEIDA corridor

Own the land. We build the home. You watch from abroad.

Q: Can an NRI buy a plot and build a house in India?

Yes. Under FEMA / NDI Rules 2019, NRIs and OCIs may buy residential and development-authority-allotted residential plots (such as YEIDA plots) and build on them — but not agricultural land, farmhouses or plantations. Payment is via NRE/NRO/FCNR. Confirm eligibility with your CA/FEMA advisor.

Buy a plot in the corridor around the now-operational Noida (Jewar) airport, and Vidastu designs, gets approvals, builds and hands over your home end-to-end — typically 10–16 months — with photo and video updates on WhatsApp at every stage.

Routing

NRE / NRO routing

Paperwork

Power of Attorney

A trusted person signs in India on your behalf — apostilled (Western countries) or Indian-consulate attested (Gulf).

Cadence

Milestone payments

Construction is billed in stages matched to verified progress, so money follows work — not the other way round.

Protection

RERA escrow

For RERA-registered projects, ≥70% of buyer funds sit in project escrow, drawn only against verified milestones.

Questions NRIs ask

Straight answers.

Can an NRI buy a plot and build a house in India?

Yes — NRIs/OCIs may buy residential and development-authority residential plots (e.g. YEIDA) and build, but not agricultural land/farmhouses/plantations. Payment via NRE/NRO/FCNR. Consult your CA/FEMA advisor. See our FEMA guide.

Who owns the land and the home?

You do. The plot is registered in your name (with your representative acting under PoA for signing). Vidastu is your design-build partner, not a co-owner.

What if I can never visit during construction?

That's the point of remote-build: photo/video updates at each stage, video calls with the team, and a representative under PoA on the ground. Many NRIs complete a build without flying in.

How long does it take?

Typically 10–16 months from design to handover, depending on size, approvals and specification.

How are payments structured?

Milestone-linked, matched to verified construction progress, paid from your NRE/NRO account. For RERA-registered projects, ≥70% of funds sit in escrow.
