YEIDA news from the 93rd board meeting, decoded: a 200 acre logistics park at Tappal-Bajna, an 8,000 hectare industrial node, a maintenance corpus fund and 10,069 farmer plot letters, with what each means for buyers.
On Monday, 28 September 2026, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority sat for its 93rd board meeting. Most people only saw the "logistics park" line in the headlines. The real YEIDA news is in the numbers underneath it.
We read the coverage line by line so you do not have to. Here is what the board actually approved, what it only reviewed, and what any of it means if you own, or plan to buy, property on the Yamuna Expressway.
YEIDA news in 60 seconds
- A 200 acre multi-modal logistics park at Tappal-Bajna, to be allotted to eligible investors through e-auction.
- An 8,000 hectare industrial node south of Noida International Airport, now at the stage of appointing a consultant to prepare its master plan.
- A new corpus fund regulation for 2026-27, so that one-time lease rent and other non-recurring money is invested and the returns pay for maintaining roads, water, sewers, drains, streetlights and parks.
- Receipts of about ₹4,222 crore up to 14 September 2026, against ₹1,495 crore in the same period last year. That is a jump of roughly 182%.
- Farmer plots moving faster: reservation letters issued to 10,069 farmers and 4,978 plots planned under the 7% developed plot entitlement.

What the board approved, decision by decision
1. The 200 acre logistics park at Tappal-Bajna
The board cleared a multi-modal logistics park on about 200 acres at Tappal-Bajna, as reported by Millennium Post and Maritime Gateway. Plots will go to eligible investors through e-auction.
YEIDA CEO RK Singh told Millennium Post that the initiative "will boost investment, employment and modern supply-chain infrastructure in the Yamuna area."
Tappal sits further down the expressway than most of today's residential sectors. If you have only ever driven up to Pari Chowk or Sector 22D, this is a reminder that YEIDA's job map now runs well past the airport. Our Greater Noida to Agra road guide walks through that stretch exit by exit.
2. The 8,000 hectare industrial node near the airport
This one is still on paper. Millennium Post reports that the authority is appointing a consultant to prepare the master plan for an industrial node of roughly 8,000 hectares south of the airport. No land allotment, no prices, no scheme. If anyone offers you a plot "inside the industrial node" today, ask them which approved layout they are reading from.
3. A corpus fund for long term maintenance
This is the decision we think buyers should care about most, and it got the least attention.
Under the YEIDA Corpus Fund Investment Regulation 2026-27, non-recurring receipts such as one-time lease rent will be kept aside and invested. According to NCR Khabar, the interest and returns will pay for repair and maintenance of roads, water supply, sewerage, drainage, street lighting, parks and green belts.
Why it matters: a sector is only as good as its upkeep ten years after possession. Plenty of NCR buyers have learnt this the hard way. A ring-fenced maintenance fund is not a guarantee, but it is the right kind of boring.
4. Industrial plots: allotted versus actually built
The board reviewed progress on 295 industrial plots of more than 4,000 square metres. The status, as reported by Millennium Post and The Impressive Times:
| Stage | Plots |
|---|---|
| Plots in the review | 295 |
| Lease deeds executed | 181 |
| Possession handed over | 152 |
| Construction started | 69 |
| Production started | 13 |
Read that table twice. Thirteen units are producing. That is real, and it is also early. When a broker says "factories are coming, rents will double", this is the honest denominator.
5. The money: receipts versus spending
NCR Khabar published the full financial position presented to the board:
| Item | 2025-26 (to 14 Sept 2025) | 2026-27 (to 14 Sept 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Total receipts | ₹1,495.43 crore | about ₹4,222 crore |
| Total expenditure | ₹2,333.72 crore | ₹5,501.71 crore |
Receipts under the industrial and mixed land scheme alone came to ₹2,420.7 crore, which NCR Khabar says is 174.47% of the budgeted figure. Spending on loan repayment and interest in the same period was ₹4,344.34 crore.
One note on accuracy. NCR Khabar's Hindi report prints the 2026-27 receipts as "42,223.7 crore", which does not match its own 182.35% growth figure. Millennium Post reports ₹4,222 crore, which does. We have used ₹4,222 crore.
6. Farmers, 7% plots and land purchase rates
For land-acquisition-affected farmers, YEIDA says it is speeding up allotment of 7% developed residential plots. Reservation letters have gone to 10,069 farmers and 4,978 plots have been planned across sectors. Around ₹3,142 crore has been paid out as additional compensation.
The land purchase rates under Master Plan Phase-1 in Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr stand at ₹4,558 per square metre, and ₹4,037 per square metre including the expressway, with a 7% developed residential plot on top. NCR Khabar notes these rates were first approved at the 92nd meeting. The Impressive Times reports that farmers who had agreed to sell at earlier rates but could not execute sale deeds by 20 August 2026 can now complete the process at the revised rates.
7. What the board only reviewed
Several items were discussed but not finalised, according to The Impressive Times:
- The Agra Urban Centre Master Plan-2041, the plan for YEIDA's "New Agra" at the far end of the corridor.
- An International Trade City modelled on Yiwu in China.
- Progress on the apparel, handicraft, MSME and toy parks.
- Draft waste management bye-laws for 2026 and DPRs for scientific waste processing.
Reviewed is not approved. Treat these as direction, not delivery.
What this YEIDA news means if you are buying
If you own or are buying a flat in a YEIDA sector. The corpus fund is your win. Ask your RWA or builder how sector maintenance is handled today, and follow how this fund is used over the next year.
If you are looking at plots. More farmer plots are entering the system. Many will reach the resale market over time. That is fine, but a 7% plot is only as clean as its allotment letter, lease deed and YEIDA transfer permission. We cover the checks in our new guide on plots near Jewar Airport.
If you are buying for jobs and rental demand. Logistics parks and industrial nodes create jobs in stages, over years. The industrial table above shows how slow the build-out is even after allotment. Price in time, not hype.
If you are tempted by "near the logistics park" pitches. Ask for the approved sector map. If a seller cannot show where their land sits on an official YEIDA layout, walk away.
How the 93rd meeting fits the pattern
Read alongside the last two meetings, the direction is consistent. The 91st board meeting pushed the trade city idea. The 92nd board meeting brought Taiwan City and the medical device park. The 93rd adds logistics, a much larger industrial node and money set aside for upkeep. YEIDA is building an employment corridor first and a residential story second. Buyers should read it in that order.

Board minutes do not tell you which lane floods, which sector has actual residents, or which plot has a clean transfer history. We do, because we are on the expressway for site visits every week.
