Jewar — land purchase legal rules
⚠ Two checks come before any advance in Uttar Pradesh: the Revenue Code limit of 5.0586 hectares (about 12.5 acres) on what one person can acquire by purchase or gift, and the registry position in the DNGIR villages near Noida, where a purchase halt was reported in January 2024 and no later word was found. UP Revenue Code 2006, section 89; Sakshi Post, January 2024.
Who can buy agricultural land? The Revenue Code sections we read set a size limit (section 89) and special rules for land held by Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe members (sections 98 and 99). None asks the buyer to be a farmer or to live in the state (UP Revenue Code 2006, IGRS UP). We did not read the whole tenure chapter, so ask the Sub-Registrar whether anything further applies. The Code repealed the Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act 1950 when it was enforced on 18 December 2015 (SCC Online, February 2016).
Holding limit: section 89(2) of the Code bars a purchase or gift that would take the buyer's total holding in Uttar Pradesh above 5.0586 hectares, about 12.5 acres on our conversion (UP Revenue Code 2006). Under the earlier Act the Supreme Court read a company as a person for this limit and let the excess vest in the State (Oswal Fats and Oils, April 2010). The separate 1960 Ceiling Act caps total holdings; the India Code text gives 7.30 hectares of irrigated land for a family of five or fewer, with additions for larger families, and the text mixes acres and hectares, so the current schedule needs checking (India Code).
DNGIR villages: the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region covers 84 notified villages, 63 in Bulandshahr and 21 in Gautam Buddh Nagar, notified in October 2024 (Swarajya, July 2026). In January 2024 a Noida Authority letter to the Stamp Department halted purchase and sale in the proposed villages, with registration of agricultural land needing the Authority's consent (Sakshi Post, January 2024). Two July 2026 reports on acquisition by mutual consent do not mention the halt (Millennium Post, July 2026), so ask the Noida Authority or the District Magistrate's office whether it still applies to a given village.
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe land: a Scheduled Caste bhumidhar needs the Collector's previous written permission to transfer land to a non-Scheduled Caste buyer (section 98), and a Scheduled Tribe bhumidhar may not transfer to a non-Scheduled Tribe buyer (section 99) (UP Revenue Code 2006). The Allahabad High Court described a transfer without the permission as void in Omwati v District Collector, Pilibhit, November 2022.
NRI & OCI buyers: the Reserve Bank's Master Direction under FEMA 1999 excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farm house from what NRIs and OCIs may buy or receive as a gift (paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.1.2). Inheritance is covered separately in paragraphs 3.1.3 and 3.1.4, without that exclusion (Reserve Bank of India Master Direction FED 12/2015-16).

Sub-area overview
Jewar — the airport town, where land is a title question before it is a price question
Jewar is the tehsil town in Gautam Buddha Nagar where Noida International Airport has been built. Land here is priced per acre and demand is driven by the airport, the Yamuna Expressway and the industrial and housing plans of YEIDA. Our estimate for farmer-owned agricultural land is ₹1.5–5 crore per acre*, indicative only. Much of the land around the airport has been acquired or allotted by the authority, so the first question on any plot is whether the farmer can lawfully sell it.
The airport is now a delivered fact, not a forecast. PTI reported on 14 June 2026 that commercial flights would begin on 15 June 2026, with IndiGo as the first carrier, a phase I capacity of 12 million passengers a year, and projected capacity of 30 million by 2031, 50 million by 2036 and 70 million by 2040 (ETV Bharat). Indian Infrastructure reported the inauguration on 28 March 2026. Airport land prices already reflect part of this, so a recent headline is not a reason to pay a premium for an unchecked khasra.
Read the Gautam Buddha Nagar district page and the state-wise land laws guide first. Ask for the khatauni, the authority's land-use certificate and a no-dues letter, and ask whether the village falls in any notified acquisition or purchase-restriction list. We did not read YEIDA's master plan or its village lists.

Connectivity
How Jewar connects
Jewar sits on the Yamuna Expressway with Noida International Airport on its doorstep. Distances are approximate and not route-checked.
By road and rail
Read this before relying on distances
Roads near the airport are being built and re-planned, and land for the link expressway is still being acquired. A road that appears on a plan may cut through a khasra, so check the exact alignment and the approach road to the plot. Airport height and use limits may also apply near the runway; ask the authority and the airport operator, and confirm. CONFIRM.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Jewar
Jewar is Yamuna-doab farmland where wheat, paddy and sugarcane are the usual crops in western Uttar Pradesh; we have not read village-level data.
Soil & crops
We did not fetch the CGWB or Soil Health Card profile for Jewar. Land in this part of Gautam Buddha Nagar is alluvial plain in the Ganga–Yamuna doab, where wheat, paddy and sugarcane are typical western Uttar Pradesh crops (general pattern, CONFIRM locally). Soil data: Soil Health Card site.
- Wheat
- Paddy
- Sugarcane
- Mustard
Water
We did not read the current groundwater category for Jewar block. Tubewells are the usual source on this plain, so ask for the borewell depth, water quality and any permission needed. Groundwater categories: CGWB.
Mandi price reference
We did not fetch mandi prices for Jewar. Compare any crop income with the full land cost before buying. Live prices: Agmarknet.
Farmland India view
Why buyers look at Jewar
Reasons buyers look at this micro-market, stated with the evidence we have. Not a price forecast.
An airport that has opened
Noida International Airport was inaugurated on 28 March 2026 and flights were reported to start on 15 June 2026. That is delivered infrastructure, which is different from a promised one.
Expressway access
The Yamuna Expressway and a planned airport–Ganga Expressway link are why buyers compare Jewar with other expressway belts. The link is still under land acquisition.
A large planned footprint
Reported plans call for much larger airport capacity by 2040, which is why industrial and housing plans cluster here. Plans are not guarantees.
Authority land narrows supply
Much land is acquired or allotted, so freely saleable farmer-owned land is scarce and prices move sharply with title quality. Our estimate is ₹1.5–5 crore per acre*.
Listing data is not legal advice. Confirm title, land use and approvals with the Sub-Registrar and the relevant authority.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges specific to Jewar
Specific to this micro-market, beyond the Gautam Buddha Nagar and Uttar Pradesh-wide points.
Acquired and allotted land
A large share of land around the airport has been acquired or allotted by the authority. A farmer cannot sell acquired land. Ask for the khatauni, the authority's land-use certificate, any acquisition notification and a no-dues letter before you pay.
Active land acquisition
Land for the airport–Ganga Expressway link (about 740 acres across 16 villages, Swarajya, 18 Mar 2026) is being acquired. Ask whether the khasra is in a notified alignment; compensation goes to the recorded holder.
Purchase restrictions in notified villages
In January 2024 the press (IANS, via Sakshi Post) reported that the Noida Authority halted buying and selling of land in villages of the proposed New Noida area, including a bar on purchases through companies and a consent requirement for agricultural land. We did not read the order and do not know whether any Jewar village is covered. Ask the Sub-Registrar and the authority. CONFIRM.
Land-use change under the UP Revenue Code
Agricultural land is usually put to other use through a declaration under section 80 of the UP Revenue Code, 2006 (which replaced section 143 of the Zamindari Abolition Act). Confirm the current procedure, fees and any authority-specific rule with the Tehsil and the authority. CONFIRM.
Holding limits and non-farmers
Uttar Pradesh limits how much agricultural land one person may hold and sets conditions on purchase by people who are not farmers. We did not read the current text, so ask a local lawyer before paying a token amount. CONFIRM.
Stamp duty and the circle rate
Stamp duty in Uttar Pradesh is charged on the higher of the deal value and the circle rate. We did not fetch the current percentage or the notified rate for the village, so confirm both with the Sub-Registrar and check whether the land lies inside an authority limit. CONFIRM.
NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land
FEMA bars NRIs and OCIs from buying agricultural land, plantation land or a farmhouse anywhere in India, Uttar Pradesh included. They can buy residential and commercial land in approved areas, so a farm-land listing is not a route for them. Confirm your status with a lawyer.
