According to a press release, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has launched this initiative to facilitate the establishment of industrial units in the authorised areas of Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts.

Under the new scheme, 55 industrial plots in Sectors 29, 32, and 33 will be allocated. As stated in the release, this move is expected to accelerate the development of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Area (Phase-1) and expedite the implementation of the Master Plan-2041.

The scheme specifically targets non-polluting industries, enabling the establishment of toy, apparel, and furniture parks, units under the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Over 240 types of non-polluting industries are eligible to set up units under this scheme.

The scheme's application process has begun and will continue until May 29. Of the 55 plots, 50 are up to 8,000 square meters, starting from 300 square meters. Larger plots are designated for toy parks, apparel parks, and general industrial use. The largest plot, located in Sector 32 (Plot No. 68A), measures 17,020 square meters. The reserved price for the plots starts at Rs 64.16 lakh, with the premium for the largest plot set at Rs 22.91 crore.

The scheme will allocate plots for various categories, including apparel and toy parks, handicrafts, ODOP units, furniture manufacturing parks, MSMEs, and general industrial use. Industries under the general category, such as pulse mills, X-ray machine manufacturing, and telecommunication equipment production, will also be eligible.

The allocation of all plots will be conducted through an e-auction process, which is expected to be completed in the first week of July. Notably, only plots receiving three or more valid bids will be included in the e-auction.

Plots with single bids will not be allocated, and in such cases, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), processing fees, and other charges will be refunded to the applicants.

This is a fantastic initiative by UP government! đź‘Ź Promoting eco-friendly industries while creating jobs is the need of the hour. The focus on ODOP and MSMEs will really boost local artisans and small businesses. Hope they maintain transparency in the e-auction process though.

As someone from Noida, I'm happy to see development coming to our area. But I hope they've done proper environmental impact studies. The Yamuna is already struggling with pollution. "Eco-friendly" shouldn't just be a buzzword - need strict monitoring!

Great move! The toy park initiative is especially welcome - we import too many toys from China. If implemented well, this can make UP a manufacturing hub. But 55 plots seem too small for such ambitious goals. Hope this is just phase 1.

The pricing seems reasonable for MSMEs. My brother runs a small handicraft unit in Agra - this could be his chance to expand. But the application window is very short (only till May 29)! Many small entrepreneurs might miss out due to lack of awareness.

While the scheme looks good on paper, implementation is key. UP has had industrial policies before that got stuck in red tape. Hope this time they've streamlined approvals and clearances. Also, what about infrastructure - roads, power, water supply for these new units?

Appreciate the focus on non-polluting industries. But will there be any preference for women entrepreneurs? Schemes like these should have some reservation for women-led businesses to promote gender equality in industrial sector.
