The history of development of the present day Noida town can be traced back to 1972 when the Government of Uttar Pradesh, taking note of the mounting pressure of speculative land dealings in this area, closely situated to Delhi and having backward characteristics of development, declared 50 villages of the erstwhile district of Bulandshahr as the “Yamuna-Hindon-Delhi Border Regulated area” under the provisions of U.P. Regulation of Building Operations Act, 1958. There was no urban centre in this area. The Interim General Plan for Greater Delhi was prepared in 1956 and then the first Master Plan of Delhi prepared in 1962 suggested that serious considerations should be given for the planned decentralization of large scale economic activities from Delhi and the development of towns around Delhi. This paved ways for the development of industrial Units and warehousing at various locations around Delhi, resulting in speculative land dealings and potentials for unplanned and unauthorized development activities. Therefore, a need for establishing planned urban centers in the close proximity of Delhi was felt to provide an alternative site for the planned development of small and medium size industrial units functioning in unplanned and haphazard way in and around Delhi and to stop the speculative land dealings in this area. The controlling Authority of the newly declared Regulated Area considered various aspects of development of the Regulated Area but could not do much for the establishment of a new urban centre. Finally on April 17, 1976 the Government of Uttar Pradesh notified 36 villages of “Yamuna-Hindon-Delhi
Border Regulated Area” as New Okhla Industrial Development Area wide its notification No. 415.7 – Bha-U-18-(II), Lucknow, dated 17.4.1976 under the provisions of U.P. Industrial Development Act, 1976. The State Government also constituted a new statutory body, namely, the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) to ensure planned development of the area for industrial and allied uses. Accordingly, the Authority prepared a master plan for the area for the year 1991. The Plan had the following objectives:
i. Provide developed sites for about 10,000 small-scale industrial units;
ii. Provide employment to about 41,000 industrial workers; and
iii. Achieve a conducive living and working environment for the workers engaged in manufacturing and allied activities, and develop an integrated township for an ultimate population of 3,75,000 workers.
So the idea that started as “Yamuna-Hindon-Delhi Border Regulated Area” has now developed in a full-fledged city of Noida which is spread in 203 square kilometers and its population has crossed eight lakh mark.
Growth story of Noida inspired the Uttar Pradesh government to develop adjacent areas also. In 1997 government announced formation of district Gautam Budh Nagar vide Govt. Notification No. 1249/1-5/97/82/97 – R.A.5 dated 6th May 1997, by combining the block Dadri, Noida & Greater Noida (parental district Ghaziabad) Bisrakh & block Dankaur, Jewer & partial area of block Sikandrabad (parental district Bulandshahr). The total geographical area of the district is 1,442 square kilometers. Obviously the Uttar Pradesh government is now eyeing seven times more development in this area.
Noida has indeed emerged as a major growth engine in NCR. Proximity to Delhi has indeed given it lot of advantage but meticulous planning and effective micro management has certainly given Noida an upper hand in NCR. Today Noida has more than 15,000 industrial units.

Noida also is home to leading hospitals such as Kailash Hospital, Jaypee Hospital, Max Hospital, Fortis Hospital, AJ Kanwar Hospital, Apollo Hospital.
Noida Authority is committed to develop it as a Green City and accordingly it has developed several green areas across the city. It has a unique bird sanctuary also by the name Okhla Bird Sanctuary (OBS) which is situated at the entrance of the city at the point where river Yamuna enters the state of Uttar Pradesh from the state of Delhi. The Okhla Barrage over the river Yamuna has created the unique position of the OBS which attracts various species of birds. OBS is among the 466 important bird areas in the India. About 323 various bird species are seen in the sanctuary. About 50% of the species are migratory birds.
Today the Uttar Pradesh government has ambitious plans for Noida. It has Noida Master Plan – 2031 ready. Keeping in view the growth potential of Noida in particular and Gautam Budh Nagar in general, the Uttar Pradesh government is trying its level best to provide this area excellent connectivity. Taj Express way which connects Delhi with Agra passes through Noida. It is now connected with Metro. New links are being planned to strengthen its connectivity with South Delhi, Faridabad etc also.
The Uttar Pradesh government has provided Ganga Water to this area and assured twenty four hour electricity supplies too.
Needles to say idea that germinated in 1972 has now become a full grown tree and increasing its strength by the day. Development in industry, commerce and trade have led Noida to be a model city in UP. It is a major revenue earner for the government through taxes. The Noida model is now being replicated across various cities in UP, with a proactive development agency working to achieve high growth rates for business, industry and commercial ventures.
