Noida Sector 108 Draws Developers After Rs 1,850-Crore Bid
M3M bought a large piece of land in Noida’s Sector 108 for about Rs 1,850 crore.
The land covers 12.5 acres.
This price was more than twice the government authority’s starting price.
The land can be used for homes and businesses.
The area already has luxury housing, offices, schools, hospitals and parks nearby.
It is also close to the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and the airport.
Builders are interested because older parts of Noida have less space left for new projects.
Experts say land along the Expressway is becoming more expensive and competitive.
M3M outbid DLF with an approximately Rs 1,850 crore bid for 12.5 acres in Noida’s Sector 108.
The winning bid was more than twice the Noida Authority’s reserve price of Rs 835 crore.
The parcel will support a mixed-use project with up to 40% residential and 60% commercial development.
Sector 108 benefits from nearby premium housing, commercial spaces, institutions, hospitals, parks and Expressway connectivity.
Developers are competing for increasingly scarce land along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway as older city sectors become saturated.
