Noida, the Delhi satellite city in Uttar Pradesh set up in 1976, started slow but in recent years has burgeoned, with what was largely farmland now a cluster of buildings housing residential units and industrial projects, and is rapidly running out of space. Greater Noida, which came up in the early 1990s, was more of an independent city some 30 km from Noida. Hence the need was felt for a sort of extension to ease the burden on Noida proper.
The decision to approve the New Noida Master Plan was taken in the 210 board meeting of the Noida Authority on August 13 2023.
