The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is set to conduct a high-stakes draw of lots for its residential plot scheme in Sector 18 on Friday, July 12, 2025, marking one of the most eagerly awaited land allotment events in the NCR real estate market.

📌 Scheme Overview

Launched on April 21, 2025, this residential scheme offered 276 premium plots, each measuring 200 square meters, in Sector 18, a key location near the upcoming Jewar Airport and Film City corridor. The registration window, which remained open for a month, attracted 54,289 applications, showcasing unprecedented demand from across the country.

👨‍⚖️ Fair & Transparent Allotment Process

To ensure transparency and fairness:

• The draw will begin at 10 AM at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida.

• A panel of three retired High Court judges will oversee the proceedings.

• The entire event will be broadcast live on:

To accommodate the expected footfall, seating arrangements for 2,000 people have been made. The event will also be photographed and video recorded, establishing a permanent record.

📝 Application Status & Final List

Of the 54,289 total applications:

• 64 applicants were disqualified due to incomplete documents or ineligibility.

📈 Why This Matters

This draw reflects:

• Massive demand for planned residential land along the Yamuna Expressway.

• Increasing investor and end-user interest in Sector 18, driven by infrastructure like the Noida International Airport, Film City, and Eastern Peripheral Expressway.

• Rising land values and strong ROI potential for allottees.
