With connectivity, job opportunities, and economic activity kicking into high gear in anticipation, Jewar and its nearby areas are soon to be the next real estate growth hotbed in India.
The real estate demand generated by the Noida International Airport in Jewar has caused a significant shift in the property landscape of Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway region. Land prices around the airport have doubled ever since the new airport location was announced, with developers acquiring approximately 390 acres in the last 12 months alone, transactions totalling nearly Rs. 2,340 crores, with land rates touching Rs. 5 to 6 crore per acre.
Small developers and end-users are also driving the boom, encouraged by Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority’s (YEIDA) massive land acquisition and urban development master plan. The authority has identified more than 13,300 acres in 41 villages for integrated development, including new residential areas and industrial cities.

Additionally, the Ghaziabad–Jewar Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor is expected to start operation by 2027 (or 2030), which would significantly decrease travel times and complete last-mile connectivity.
