Once the documents are submitted, the buyer will choose a date and time slot

Redevelopment of Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has decided to redevelop the city entirely. For the purpose of redevelopment the entire city will be divided into 15 zones. Currently, the area of GDA is around 3,889 hectares. That includes around 184 villages.
This area is divided into eight zones. However, the scope of the GDA will increase, and with this, the area will increase too. Now, around 61 villages along the Meerut expressway and the Eastern Peripheral expressway will also come under the scope of GDA.
A consulting agency will be hired by GDA to carry out this task. The redevelopment will be done in a planned zone-wise way. Based on the zones the projects will be introduced in the area. The placement of the projects will be the responsibility of the consulting agency.
The consulting agency ill also be taking care of surveying the area around the highways and expressways. This will help set up logistics park, transport nagar, and warehouse. The expected areas for building these are around Delhi - Meert Expressways. These include Dasna, Muradnagar, Fatehabad Nithora, and Bhjpur Area, etc. GDA plans to construct a housing facility in each zone. This is important, along with the industry set up, as it will attract more investment in the city.
GDA Township Indirapuram Extension Project
The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has decided to establish a township, the Indirapuram Extension Project. It is situated along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (NH-9). Here are the details about the township:
1. Project Overview and Location
Township Name: Indirapuram Extension Project.
The township has been planned across 230 acres. It is primarily situated along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (NH-9).
The project was initially announced nearly two decades ago. However, it was long stalled due to land acquisition disputes. The GDA is now actively working to fast-track its development.
Of the total planned 230 acres, the GDA currently holds approximately 96 acres. It is in the process of acquiring the remaining land.
2. Residential and Commercial Plots/Development
The GDA plans to develop the area into a modern, integrated township featuring both residential and commercial sectors. Find below the details related to land allocation-
| Type of Land |
Area |
| Residential Land |
Approximately 15,800 square meters |
| Commercial Land |
Approximately 1,500 square meters |
Under the proposed GDA plot schemes, residential plots in the Indirapuram area are offered in sizes ranging from 300 to 600 square meters.
Recent amendments to the UP Building Bylaws, 2025, support the project by allowing higher vertical development with increased Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits. This includes an additional 5% FAR for commercial facilities and another 5% for community amenities, making high-rise group housing more viable.
GDA Ghaziabad Flats Mega Sale
The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has launched a significant ‘Mega Sale’ to clear its unsold housing inventory. This initiative follows the introduction of the state's new Model Costing Guidelines 2025, which aims to make government-built housing more affordable and transparent.
Here are the key highlights from the Navbharat Times report regarding the discounts and new rules:
Massive Discounts on Unsold Flats
To sell properties that have remained vacant for years, GDA is offering substantial price cuts:
-
Individual Buyers: Flats that have been unsold for a long time are now available at up to 25% off their original cost.
-
Bulk Purchases: Institutions or groups looking to buy in bulk can get additional discounts:
-
10 to 25 flats: 5% to 15% extra discount.
-
Relaxed Rules: Earlier restrictions, such as income limits or the ‘one person, one property’ rule, have been waived for these ‘sale’ properties.
Price Protection for Buyers
A major highlight of the 2025 guidelines is the protection against sudden price hikes at the time of possession:
-
10% Cap: If the final cost of a flat increases by more than 10% from the price quoted at the time of allotment, the buyer has the right to a full refund.
-
Interest Guaranteed: If a buyer chooses to withdraw due to such a price hike, GDA will return their money along with bank interest.
Strategic Locations
The discounts apply to several GDA schemes where inventory has been stagnant, including:
Improved Infrastructure Mandates for GDA Flats
The Uttar Pradesh government has also ordered that new colonies should not just be ‘brick and stone’ structures. New mandates include:
-
Greenery: Tree plantation must begin as soon as roads are constructed.
-
Essential Services: Space must be reserved within the colonies for daily needs like barbers, laundries, vegetable vendors, and milk booths.
-
Public Utility: Costs for police posts, post offices, and bus/auto stands will now be integrated into the initial project planning.
GDA Vice-Chairperson Nand Kishore Kalal stated that these new guidelines are designed to make the process more transparent and public-friendly. By fixing prices more reliably and offering deep discounts on older stock, the authority hopes to finally provide ‘dream homes’ to thousands of middle- and lower-income families who were previously deterred by high costs and unpredictable pricing.
GDA Property Auctions on Fridays
GDA frequently organises property auctions, traditionally held on Fridays. These are organised to sell vacant residential, commercial, and institutional plots.
As of February 2026, these auctions have become a primary tool for GDA to fund massive infrastructure projects like the new Harnandipuram township.

New GDA Housing Scheme Near Hindon Airport
The GDA is finally breathing new life into the Ajantapuram Residential Scheme near Hindon Airport. This project has actually been gathering dust for about 32 years, so it's a pretty big deal that it’s finally moving again.
GDA New Housing Scheme Features
-
Massive Space: We're looking at 280 acres overall. The bulk of that - around 190 acres - is tied to various housing societies, while the Awas Vikas Parishad manages the rest of the land.
-
The Layout: About 20% of the land is being set aside for the basics - roads, sewers, and power lines. The rest will be turned into residential plots for members.
-
Airport Perks: It’s right by Hindon Airport. The authority is planning to build hotels, malls, and restaurants along the main road. It’s meant to be a win-win for travelers and the local economy.
Timeline & Progress
The board just met to finalize how the housing committees will be organized.
Over the next three months, you should start seeing actual work on the ground (roads, pipes, and lights) once the development fees are collected.
The blueprints are approved. The authorities have already cleared out illegal encroachments to make room for construction. They’re currently surveying the land to get the final infrastructure plans perfect.
It’s not all smooth sailing. While Ajantapuram is getting all the upgrades, neighbors in places like Tulsi Niketan are a bit frustrated. They’re asking why the older societies aren't getting the same level of maintenance and attention, so the GDA has some pressure to make sure everyone is taken care of, not just the new project.
