YEIDA Plot Scheme 2026 Near Jewar Airport: Sectors, Price & How to Apply
If you want a plot near Jewar Airport with government-backed title security rather than relying on a private developer's paperwork, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) plot scheme is where to start. Here's exactly what the 2026 scheme covers — sectors, pricing, eligibility, and how to actually apply — so you're not piecing it together from brochures and forum posts.

Scheme overview
This is RPS-10, YEIDA's fourth residential plot scheme, covering 973 plots across three sectors:
- Sector 15C
- Sector 18
- Sector 24A
Plot sizes range from 162 to 290 sq. m, so there's room to choose based on whether you're building a compact independent home or want more land to work with. Applications are submitted digitally through the official YEIDA portal, and allotment is decided by lottery draw once the application window closes — not first-come-first-served, so submitting early doesn't improve your odds.
Price per sector
YEIDA has set a base rate of roughly ₹35,000–36,260 per sq. m across the scheme. On top of the base rate, a preferential location charge (PLC) of around 5% applies to plots with specific advantages:
- Corner plots
- Park-facing plots
- Plots adjacent to green belts
The exact PLC and final per-sector rate can shift slightly between sectors and even between individual plots within a sector, depending on layout position — always check the specific plot number's rate on the official portal rather than assuming a flat rate applies across the board.
For how this pricing compares to the wider Jewar market — YEIDA rates versus private developer plots and prime-zone premiums — see our pricing breakdown for plots near Jewar Airport.
Registration amount & total cost by plot size
YEIDA requires a registration amount of 10% of the total plot cost at the time of application — this isn't the full payment, just the amount that secures your entry into the lottery. Based on the base rate:
- A 162 sq. m plot works out to roughly ₹5.67 lakh in total cost, so the registration amount is approximately ₹56,700.
- A 290 sq. m plot works out to roughly ₹10.15 lakh in total cost, so the registration amount is approximately ₹1.01 lakh.
There's also a non-refundable brochure/application fee of roughly ₹600 plus GST to access the scheme documents and apply. If you're not selected in the lottery, the registration amount is refunded — but confirm the current refund timeline on the portal before applying, since processing times can vary between scheme cycles.
Eligibility & category reservations
Applicants (and their immediate family) cannot already hold a prior YEIDA residential plot allotment — this is checked against YEIDA's own records during processing, so don't assume an undisclosed prior allotment will go unnoticed.
Beyond the general category, YEIDA reserves a portion of plots for:
- Farmers whose land was acquired for the project
- Industrial-unit holders operating in YEIDA's jurisdiction
- SC/ST applicants
- Persons with disabilities (PwD)
- Defence personnel
If you fall into one of these categories, apply under the relevant reserved quota rather than the general pool — reservation categories typically see lower competition than the general category.
Why Sector 18 gets the most attention
Of the three sectors in this scheme, Sector 18 is the most developed, with more existing infrastructure and a longer track record than 15C or 24A, which are earlier in their development timeline. That maturity comes at a cost — Sector 18 plots tend to see the highest demand within the scheme — but it's also the safer bet if you want to move in or build sooner rather than waiting for a newer sector's infrastructure to catch up.
How to apply online
At a high level, the process runs through the official YEIDA portal:
- Register on the YEIDA online portal and pay the brochure/application fee.
- Fill in the application with your preferred sector and category (general or reserved quota).
- Pay the 10% registration amount online.
- Wait for the application window to close, then the lottery draw determines allotment.
- If allotted, complete the remaining payment as per YEIDA's payment schedule; if not, the registration amount is refunded.
Exact screens, document uploads, and deadlines change between scheme cycles, so treat this as the shape of the process rather than a literal walkthrough — always follow the live instructions on the portal for the current scheme window, since YEIDA updates its application system between releases.
Authority plots vs private plots
The core tradeoff: YEIDA authority plots come with government-backed clear title and a transparent (if competitive) lottery process, but you're subject to availability, sector assignment, and the luck of the draw. Private developer plots — like those at Anugrah Homes in Jattari — let you choose your exact plot and skip the lottery entirely, but the burden of verifying RERA registration and title clarity shifts to you as the buyer.

Roughly ₹35,000–36,260 per sq. m as the base rate, plus a preferential location charge (around 5%) for corner, park-facing, or green-belt-adjacent plots.
How much competition should I expect?
Past YEIDA residential schemes in this belt have drawn 50,000+ applications for under 1,000 plots. Treat allotment as a genuine lottery, not a formality — apply, but don't plan around a guaranteed outcome.

Which sector should I choose — 15C, 18, or 24A?
Sector 18 is the most developed and sees the highest demand within the scheme. 15C and 24A are earlier-stage but may offer better odds given lower competition — the right choice depends on whether you value infrastructure maturity or better allotment odds more.
Not selected, or want more control over your plot?
