Sector 122, Noida

The Uttar Pradesh government has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that 888 unauthorized colonies across six districts are discharging approximately 40 million liters of sewage daily into the Hindon River. This discharge, along with industrial effluent and sludge from open storm drains, contributes to severe river pollution.

The Noida Authority has approved a budget of ₹10,290 crore for the financial year 2026-27. This significant allocation aims to accelerate stalled infrastructure projects, enhance civic facilities, and introduce new development schemes across Noida. The focus will be on completing long-pending projects, improving roads, drainage systems, and traffic management.

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Greater Noida West metro project has been rejected by the central government due to multiple deficiencies, including a lack of clarity on technical feasibility, operational planning, ridership projections, and economic viability. A new DPR will be prepared, considering current population density and commuter demand, which will likely cause further delays for residents.
