The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has approved 12 real estate projects worth Rs 4,100 crore across six districts of the state, giving a significant boost to housing and commercial development. Of this, Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) will witness the highest investment, with three projects worth Rs 2,460 crore, leading to the construction of 1,937 residential flats and commercial shops.
Over 7,100 Housing and Commercial Units Across UP
According to UP RERA officials, the approved projects will result in the development of more than 7,100 residential and commercial units across Uttar Pradesh. These projects were cleared during the authority’s 193rd board meeting, marking a strong start to real estate activity in 2026.
Officials said the approvals reflect growing investor confidence in the state’s real estate sector, particularly in the NCR region.
Noida Emerges as Top Investment Destination
Among the six districts that received approvals, Gautam Buddh Nagar emerged as the biggest beneficiary. The three approved projects in Noida alone account for nearly 60% of the total investment cleared, underlining the city’s status as a preferred destination for both residential and commercial development.
