Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) - All You Need To Know

Greater Noida is riding limitless development. Investors eyeing this micro-economy are in a happy space with its rapid infrastructure and economic growth.

Investments here are rising,  thanks to the collective efforts of the UP government and the local authority - Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA).

What is GNIDA?

GNIDA is the nodal authority responsible for the planning and development of the Greater Noida region. It was formed in January 1991 under the UP Industrial Area Development Act 1976.

The act provides a basic framework for transforming the region into an integrated developed city featuring top-notch services, broad connectivity and an advanced infrastructure of the highest standards.

Functions of GNIDA

GNIDA plans, develops, facilitates, and regulates operations & processes for the entire region. It is responsible for serving the following objectives:

Projects Developed By GNIDA

GNIDA’s futuristic vision has rendered world-class projects below for the region:

Noida Metro Line, or Aqua Metro Line, is a fast transit system that runs from Noida Sector 51 to Depot Station in Greater Noida of Gautam Buddha Nagar. It is a 29.7 km long metro line that is fully under the authority of Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), a Joint Venture Company of the Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

The Aqua Line runs from Northwest to Southeast, with most of its route along the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway. Currently, there are 21 stations designated on the Aqua Line and covers the entire journey within 45 minutes.

Established under the Uttar Pradesh Act (9) of 2002, Gautam Buddha University is a state-of-the-art university recognised by the University Grants Commission under the UGC Act. It commenced its first academic session in August 2008 at its massive 20,68,017 Sq. Mtr. campus at Greater Noida.

The complex has served as the home ground for the Afghanistan National Cricket team in the past.

In 2005, a proposal to fetch Ganga water from Hapur to Jaitpur in Greater Noida was floated.  Subsequently, GNIDA set out to build a 23-km water supply framework at an estimated cost of Rs. 318 crore.

More than 80% of the project was functional by 2022, with GNIDA supplying Ganga water to 28 sectors within the Greater Noida region. The remaining 5-10 sectors were to be functional in a few weeks as well.
