Noida: The sleeping giant about to awaken

To say that NCR region is expensive would be an understatement. Surveys among newspapers, magazines and websites regularly rank it among the top five most expensive places is a feat that may not be swelling the chests of the residents here with pride. While seeing the realty prices soar, many have acted wisely and acquired properties in Delhi seeing the values of their assets enhance considerably. However, there are many who are feeling hard done by. 


Noida, along with Delhi and Gurgaon forms the trident that drives the rise in prices in NCR region. While seeing the prices appreciates a great deal, there is a somewhat inferior feeling among the residents here. Gurgaon has enjoyed a meteoric rise from a tiny hamlet to a world renowned city. In spite of the poor infrastructure, the residents there enjoy more facilities courtesy of the focus that has been put on it by many big real estate entities. The boom in the IT sector has also served to further strengthen its value, tangible and otherwise, in the eyes of the North Indian Diaspora. But in the last few years, there had been a turn in fortunes of its other cousin in Uttar Pradesh. Noida is slowly but surely awakening to its immense potential that has belied its inferior value among the Multinational companies eyeing to set up their shops in the NCR.

With the advent of the ambitious Yamuna Express Highway, the sub-city of Noida finally got a smooth, reliable and uninterrupted connection with the main city of Delhi. Parallel in terms of privilege that NH 24 gives to Gurgaon, the expressway has seen Noida grab attention in the minds of the Indian population, but it’s not the only thing that has swung an upturn. DAH group has also played a part in delivering world-class infrastructures to the residents of Noida thereby giving them the world class facilities in the residential areas akin to those in Gurgaon via its offering of DAH NX One GreenTech

While ensuring that the residents are subject to their fair share of delight, the DAH NX One has also come as a boon for the multinationals looking over the crowded market in Gurgaon. 

Having crowded to the capacity, Noida offers a gateway to the behemoths of all sectors having fresh, spacious surroundings in the newly constructed entities like the ones of DAH NX One Noida. The facilities on offer within these colonies separate teleconferencing room, long walking paths, lush gardens and many more offers a chance for the companies to start afresh while the connectivity to Delhi helps them taking full advantage of the opportunities in the NCR region thereby giving them the best of both worlds. Thus, the parties doing business here are always in a win-win situation and their employees get newer, better facilities to explore while still working nearer their homes and hometowns.

While it took a longer time than its Haryanvi counterpart to get going, Noida finally seems to be able to fulfill the promise that it showed in its initial days. If it does manage to do it, which looks very unlikely that it would fail to do so, it will fit a great burden from the shoulders of the urban planners, both government and private, and help them gain a new perspective on the untapped avenues for development that would ensure that while Delhi and NCR may keep on the surveys in the most expensive regions, the general public don’t miss the bus to all that’s good on offer.  A prospect that would be music to the ears of both the common man and those who employ him.
