Real Estate Market Near the Noida International Airport
The first phase of the Noida International Airport at Jewar, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is expected to drive the next phase of real estate growth in the National Capital Region (NCR), particularly across the Yamuna Expressway, Greater Noida, and Noida. According to a report by SquareYards titled 'Runway to Realty: How Noida International Airport is Reshaping Realty,' apartment prices have nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025, while plot values have risen by an average of 1.5 times. In select micro-markets, prices have surged as much as fivefold, reflecting strong investor-driven momentum backed by infrastructure development.
Improvements in liveability, job creation, and infrastructure upgrades are supporting this growth. The report projects that property values will continue to rise, with plot and apartment prices expected to increase by 28% and 22%, respectively, over the next two years.
This new plot scheme by YEIDA is a significant step towards making real estate investments more accessible and attractive in the region, offering a promising opportunity for both residents and investors.
