Noida Set to Get Taller Buildings and More Floor Space with Proposed By-Law Changes
The Noida Authority has proposed significant changes to the city's building by-laws, which could lead to taller buildings and increased Floor Area Ratio (FAR) across various plot categories.

This initiative is part of the Noida Master Plan-2031, aimed at boosting revenue and accommodating the growing urban population. The FAR is a key metric that determines the allowable built-up area relative to the plot size. The proposed changes include raising the FAR limits for residential, industrial, and commercial plots.
For industrial plots of 25 acres or more, a mixed-use model will be permitted, with industrial activity remaining the primary function and at least 75% of the FAR dedicated to industrial use. Additionally, the amendments would allow up to 12% of the FAR for dormitories and field hostels, 8% for commercial use, and 5% for other facility purposes, which were previously restricted.
In new industrial sectors along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway (sectors 145, 156, 157, 158, 159, 162, and 166), the FAR is set to increase from 2.5 to 3.5. For existing industrial areas, an additional purchasable FAR of 1 is proposed, raising the total permissible FAR from 1.5 to 2.5.
For instance, a plot measuring 1,800 square metres on a road at least 24 metres wide could see its FAR increase to 3.5, allowing for the construction of a six-story building with a total built-up area of up to 3,500 square feet. The Master Plan 2031 has earmarked 2,806 hectares for industrial development, though only 1,500 hectares have been utilised to date.
The Noida Authority will seek public feedback on these proposed changes over the next 15 days. The final decision will hinge on public support and will be submitted to the state government for approval. Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M highlighted that while these changes could drive significant growth, they might also impact infrastructure, such as roads, sewer systems, and drainage.
He emphasised that if there is substantial opposition, the proposal will be reconsidered.
