Jewar, the much-talked about site of NCR’s second airport, may soon become a part of the region itself. With the Centre unveiling plans to include four new cities within the National Capital Region (NCR) under the Region Plan 2041, Uttar Pradesh proposed Jewar, along with Bulandshahar and Dadri, to be considered for inclusion.
Considering the final sites will be selected based on factors such as connectivity, land availability and future development potential, Jewar has a great chance of emerging as a winner. What does this mean for buyers and investors?
Key Highlights
- NCR Plan 2041 proposes four new greenfield Namo Cities across the region.
- The Centre has proposed a Rs 5,000 crore incentive package for the project.
- Uttar Pradesh has proposed Jewar, Dadri, Noida and Bulandshahr as potential locations.
- Several proposed locations are already witnessing major infrastructure and urban development activity.
- The plan could create new opportunities for housing, commercial development and long-term Jewar real estate growth.
Areas that could be chosen for the new Namo Cities
The final locations for the proposed greenfield Namo Cities have not been identified yet. Under NCR Plan 2041, participating states will submit potential sites, which will then be evaluated by the NCR Planning Board.
In Uttar Pradesh, the proposed locations include Jewar, Dadri, Noida and Bulandshahr. Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan are also expected to propose locations as part of the selection process.
The final sites are expected to be selected based on factors such as connectivity, land availability and long-term development potential.
Why Jewar stands out among the proposed locations
Among the locations proposed by Uttar Pradesh, Jewar has emerged as one of the strongest contenders due to the scale of development already planned in the region.
At the centre of this transformation is the Noida International Airport, which is expected to anchor a wider economic and infrastructure ecosystem along the Yamuna Expressway. The area is also set to host a 1,000-acre International Film City in Sector 21, a 350-acre Medical Device Park in Sector 28, and a 1,000-acre Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing Zone.
Beyond industrial development, YEIDA’s master plan includes projects such as Airport City, a 100-acre Data Centre Park and a 200-acre Logistics Park. Together, these developments are expected to create employment opportunities and attract businesses across sectors ranging from manufacturing and logistics to media and technology.
The region is also expected to benefit from its proximity to the Dadri-Jewar logistics corridor and the proposed Multi-Modal Logistics Hub, strengthening its connectivity with major freight and industrial networks across North India.
Established developers are already betting on the region
The infrastructure pipeline around Jewar has attracted several developers looking to expand their presence in the airport-led growth corridor.
Developers such as Godrej, Eldeco, Gaur, JDIA and CBPL already have projects in the region. Gaurs Group has also launched a residential project near the Noida International Airport and is targeting revenue of around Rs. 2,000 crore from the development.
The presence of multiple developers across different price segments suggests that the market is gradually evolving beyond a purely speculative land play into a broader residential destination.
Jewar real estate market in numbers
The locality currently has an average sale price of around Rs. 2,200 per sq. ft. Properties listed indicate demand across both budget and premium segments.
There are currently 4,396 residential listings in Jewar, including 4,053 active plot listings. The locality also has 346 ready-to-move properties, highlighting the continued preference for plotted developments while also reflecting an expanding residential market.
Recent research by Square Yards on the Yamuna Expressway corridor points to the impact of infrastructure-led development on property values. Average apartment prices in the corridor increased from around Rs. 3,200 (psf) in 2020 to nearly Rs. 9,600 (psf) in 2025, while average plot prices rose from about Rs. 1,100 (psf) to nearly Rs. 3,000 (psf) during the same period.
The report projects further growth by 2027, with apartment prices expected to rise by 22% and plot values by 28%. While the final Namo City locations are yet to be announced, these trends offer a snapshot of how infrastructure and planned urban development can shape property markets over time.
