Agra-Lucknow Expressway to be operational by Oct 2016
Rs 15,000 cr project would span 10 districts in Uttar Pradesh
Virendra Singh Rawat | <news:geo_locations style=”box-sizing: border-box;”>Lucknow May 20, 2015 Last Updated at 17:54 IST
Uttar Pradesh government is pushing for its flagship Agra-Lucknow Expressway to be operational by October 2016.
The proposed 302 km expressway is estimated to cost nearly Rs 15,000 crore. The contract for the mega project has already been awarded to private developers after dividing it into five packages and the work is on.
It is touted to be the longest access-controlled expressway in India to be funded entirely from the state coffers. It spans 10 districts, which would be intersected by it, namely Agra, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etawah, Auraiya, Kannauj, Kanpur City, Unnao, Hardoi and Lucknow.
It is a pet project of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, who is keenly pursuing it along with other flagship projects also underway such as IT City, Lucknow and Lucknow Metro Rail.
In a review meeting here today, UP chief secretary Alok Ranjan directed officials that the package-wise review be held on monthly basis, so that the expressway meets its project timelines and is operational by October 31, 2016.
The state has planned to develop agricultural ‘mandis’ along the expressway to spur the economy by providing faster transport to agricultural produce, handicrafts, small industries etc. This region is known for high dairy, potato, fruits and food grain production.
Meanwhile, Ranjan also reviewed other projects, including Centralised Mega Call Centre, IT City and Trans-Ganga projects in the meeting of Project Monitoring Group.
Ranjan expressed displeasure over the slow pace of work on IT City. He said the project should be functional by October 2016 under all circumstances. He directed the state environment department to issue No-objection Certificate (NoC) within a week.

Why India may see several ‘little Singapore’ smart cities in 5 years
Why India may see several ‘little Singapore’ smart cities in 5 years
18 Aug 2014
The government has already initiated concrete steps to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promise of building 100 ‘smart cities’ – eco-friendly cities which use innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for efficient delivery of public services and infrastructure.
PM Modi’s pet idea of building 100 ‘smart cities’ would need massive financial resources and technological prowess. For both these prerequisites, India will have to look up to foreign countries. Many countries have expressed their interest towards this endeavour of the new Indian government.
The Modi government has allocated Rs 7,060 crore (a little over $1.1 billion) in its maiden union budget to kickstart the smart cities project.
Singapore has emerged as a major foreign player in the Indian scheme of things in this context.
The government plans to deliver three smart cities by 2019, all of which will be part of the larger project called Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). These smart cities, scheduled to be completed by 2019, are Dholera, Shendra-Bidkin and Global City.

Nod for road joining Greater Noida, Faridabad
TNN | Aug 13, 2014, 11.25PM IST
NEW DELHI: Government has approved construction of a road connecting Faridabad and Greater Noida that will improve connectivity between NH-8 in Gurgaon and Yamuna Expressway. The missing link on this stretch—where fresh road has to be built or existing road to be strengthened—is about 24.6 km, which will be developed into a two-lane all-weather road including construction of a 600 meter bridge on Yamuna.
This road will also work as a bypass for traffic coming from NH-8 and heading towards Noida, Greater Noida, Agra, Kanpur and Lucknow by avoiding congested Delhi roads.
Foundation stone for this project will be laid in the next 7-10 days for this Rs 200 crore project, just before the poll date for Haryana assembly election is announced. Sources said that the project was pushed by MoS (road) Krishan Pal Gujjar, who is Faridabad MP. "We have got clearances from both Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to start work," said a road ministry official.

Gurgaon or Noida: Best Satellite Town of Delhi-NCR
F1 powers Noida as Gurgaon hit with perils of rapid, unplanned growth
Arati R Jerath and Prabhakar Sinha, TNN Nov 16, 2011, 12.06pm IST
The poor cousin from Mayaland never looked this close to eclipsing the Millennium City, which is now an urban sprawl with a creaking infrastructure. Rapid unplanned growth has been Gurgaon's bane, while Noida rides the twin advantages of better planning and competent trunk infrastructure.
The unveiling of the state of-the-art Formula One racing track in Greater Noida and the world-class Yamuna Expressway leading up to it have sent a frisson of concern coursing through Gurgaon on Delhi's southern border.
Suddenly, there's a buzz about the poor cousin from the east side. Almost overnight, the badlands of Mayawati Pradesh have transformed into a Shanghai miracle with a scale and quality of construction not seen before in India. And it's threatening to put swanky Gurgaon in the shade.
Harit Pradesh (Paschhimanchal) – Wah! Taj of Indian States
Lucknow is set to lose its political power as 3 new districts are set to gain all important power: Meerut (Harit Pradesh), Varanasi (Poorvanchal) and Jhansi (Bundelkhand) as plans unfold for trifurcation of Uttar Pradesh in 3 more states. The maximum power would flow to Meerut (Harit Pradesh) as it contributes about 72% of total income of undivided UP but gets allocation of only 18%. Presently, UP has the second largest economy ($400 billion based on PPP and $109 billion nominal) in India after Maharashtra, 72% of this would would take the new state economy sixth only behind Mah, AP, TN, Guj and, WB (StatesGDP-Link). While more details emerge, the upcoming Harit Pradesh would rise from ashes and would be ready to take on the best of the Indian states on each parameter of development and tourism (Agra Taj, Mathura, F1 and Yamuna Expressway are only a trailor- story abhi baki hai).
While Meerut had been in contention for the new capital for long, it is Noida/Greater Noida/ Yamuna Expressway Authority that would be the financial capital of this new state. Noida already hosts most of the Indian TV channel offices in Film City so marketting would not be a problem for the state. The state already has metro to Noida and Ghaziabad and soon Meerut would have a high speed train corridor. A large part of Harit Pradesh is already part of NCR (National Capital Region). Agra (Taj) and Mathura (temples) would also get their dues that they could not get from undivided UP.
NCR-Delhi to stop new plots scheme
बंगला हुआ पुराना, हाईराइज का जमाना
किरणपाल राणा ॥ नवयुग मार्केट
एनसीआर में कोठी – बंगले की चाहत रखने वालों के लिए बुरी खबर है। एनसीआर प्लानिंग बोर्ड एक ऐसी पॉलिसी पर काम कर रहा है , जिसके तहत मकान बनाने के लिए प्लॉट नहीं मिल सकेंगे। लोगों को ग्रुप हाउसिंग में फ्लैट लेकर ही रहना होगा। बोर्ड की यूपी सेल के चीफ कोऑर्डिनेटर एस . के . जमान के अनुसार , घरों की बढ़ती डिमांड और घटती जमीन के मद्देनजर ऐसा किया जा रहा है। बताते चलें कि केंद्रीय शहरी विकास मंत्री कमलनाथ ने भी हाल ही में दिल्ली में हाईराइज बिल्डिंगों की वकालत की थी।
यह है समस्या : एनसीआर प्लानिंग बोर्ड की सर्वे रिपोर्ट के के मुताबिक , गाजियाबाद में हर साल औसतन 1.97 लाख लोग नए मकानों की डिमांड करते हैं। जीडीए , आवास – विकास परिषद और यूपीएसआईडीसी इस जरूरत को पूरा करने के लिए काम करती हैं। हालांकि तीनों विभाग डिमांड पूरी नहीं कर पाते हैं। 2005 में प्रदेश सरकार ने पॉलिसी बदलकर हाउसिंग डिवेलपमेंट में प्राइवेट सेक्टर को भी मौका दिया। इसके बाद नई समस्या खड़ी हो गई। मकान बनाने के लिए बढ़ती जमीन की मांग के एवज में खेती की जमीन कम हो रही है। पिछले 5 साल में खेती की करीब 16 हजार एकड़ जमीन रेजिडेंशल यूज के लिए किसानों से ली गई। अब खेतों को बचाने के लिए बोर्ड नई पॉलिसी तैयार करने में जुटा है।

A plot of land can offer better returns in the long term compared with built property, but purchasing it can be problematic if you are not vigilant.
AMIT SHANBAUG
For 32-year-old Sumana Chatterjee and her husband Sumitro Mukherjee, 33, it was a fruitful end to house hunting when they bought a plot of land in Vadodara, Gujarat. However, a few months after paying the full amount, the couple was shocked when they received a stop work notice from the court on the construction of their bungalow. “We found that there was another claimant for the land and that the property was under litigation,” says Chatterjee.

GREATER NOIDA: Tucked away on the other side of the Hindon river and surrounded by lush green farmland where yellow mustard flowers sway, the nondescript 'Noida extension' area has emerged as ground zero of real estate business.

Heedless, young men sporting smart caps and smarter T-shirts furiously wave brochures of the numerous housing projects in the area. They lunge dangerously at any passing car to snatch precious clients from lurking competition.
