High Court stays YEIDA order to cancel land allotted to company over Rs 118 crore dues
Noida: Allahabad high court's Lucknow bench has restrained the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) from cancelling the land allotment of Greenbay Infrastructure for its 100-acre township project in Sector 22D. YEIDA has been restrained from cancellation until the company's two revision applications before the state govt — seeking relief under the "zero period" policy due to non-possession of 30–35% of the land — are disposed of. The zero period policy refers to a period during which developers are granted relief from interest and penalties on land dues for stalled projects. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida The court's interim order came on July 30, just a day before YEIDA's July 31 deadline for the builder to pay Rs 118 crore in pending dues or face cancellation of the land parcel. Justice Pankaj Bhatia, who heard the matter, directed that no coercive action be taken based on YEIDA's July 8 plot cancellation notice. Since the realtor filed a revision application before the state govt in Jan, the court observed that while the issue remains under review, YEIDA cannot cancel the land allotment. The court instructed the state govt to decide on the interim relief application within 10 days and complete proceedings on the revision application filed by Greenbay within four weeks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo Greenbay said it has so far deposited Rs 60 crore out of the Rs 118 crore and has sought "zero period" relief from the date of allotment till now, citing incomplete land possession and stalled construction due to farmers' unwillingness to vacate around one-third of the land. The dispute stems from a prolonged standoff between the developer and YEIDA. The land was allotted to Greenbay in Feb 2011, with a lease deed executed in March 2012. In Jan 2014, Greenbay subleased a portion of the land to Emerald Properties for a group housing society. The company later launched the Golf Village township project, comprising 691 plots. However, the developer said it could not take possession of two-thirds of the land until 2019 and about one-third still remains outside its control. According to YEIDA officials, the latest ultimatum followed repeated defaults by the developer under the UP govt's "legacy stalled projects" policy introduced on Dec 21, 2023, which aims to revive long-pending housing projects and ensure timely possession for homebuyers. After the developer gave its consent, the dues were recalculated to Rs 441 crore, of which Greenbay was required to pay 25% (Rs 110 crore) by April 28, 2024. After it deposited the 25% amount, YEIDA in July 2024 issued a revised payment schedule for the remaining 75% dues. The Authority further revised this schedule a month later when the developer requested a recalculation of the amount with 10% simple interest and inclusion of Rs 2.4 crore in unpaid lease rent from 2021. Under the new payment schedule, the first instalment was due on Jan 15 and the last by July 15, 2026. Based on the initial amount paid, YEIDA allowed the developer to proceed with tripartite sublease registrations for proportionate land areas. In Oct 2024, Greenbay requested another extension for paying the remaining dues, citing continued difficulty in obtaining full physical possession of the plot. The company claimed that about 30% of the land remained under cultivation by farmers, preventing access. Taking this into account, YEIDA granted a three-month extension in Nov 2024, pushing the deadline from Jan 15 to April 15, 2025. However, Greenbay again failed to meet the extended deadline of April 15, 2025. Instead of clearing dues, it submitted a letter on April 15 seeking permission to sublease a 4,330-square metre commercial plot within the township and requested another revision of its payment schedule. During a board meeting on June 18, YEIDA issued a final deadline of June 30, asking Greenbay to deposit around Rs 118 crore or face cancellation of its township project in Sector later extended the deadline by one month, giving Greenbay until July 31 to clear the dues. In a letter dated July 8, the Authority made it clear this was the final ultimatum. The company said it has deposited Rs 60 crore and plans to pay the remaining amount, but it wants its grievances to be heard. Project director of the company Amit Kumar Sharma said, "To fulfil these financial transactions, we need immediate permission to proceed with the sublease of the commercial plot. This authorisation is critical for us to take the necessary steps towards fulfilling our payment obligations. Should we fail to adhere to the agreed timeline for payment, we accept that the sublease may be cancelled without any objection on our part.

BRS neglected irrigation sector during their 10-year regime: Bhatti
Hyderabad: Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Sunday said that Telangana's irrigation water needs are still being met by projects built by previous Congress govts on the Krishna and Godavari rivers. He added that the BRS did nothing for the development of the irrigation sector during their 10-year regime. "Not a single drop of irrigation water that rightfully belongs to Telangana will be given up. The state's interests are more important than politics. The previous BRS govt was responsible for allowing the Andhra Pradesh to take the Banakacherla project," he said after laying the foundation stone for the construction of 10,000-metric-tonne-capacity warehouses at Kamalapuram village in the Mudigonda mandal of the Khammam district. The warehouses are being built by the Telangana State Warehousing Corporation at a cost of ₹10 crore. He added: "It is because of chief minister A Revanth Reddy and irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy's effective presentation of arguments to the Union Jal Shakti Ministry in New Delhi that the Banakacherla project was halted."

When Polavaram was being constructed, they just watched. When construction of the Banakacharla project began, they showed no concern. In fact, they rolled out the red carpet for AP leaders and mortgaged the interests of our state. Even when seven mandals of the Khammam district were merged into AP through an ordinance that was not included in the Reorganisation Act, they failed to stop it." Bhatti said, "We are correcting all the mistakes committed by the previous BRS govt. We are moving forward with a concrete action plan to make full use of the waters of the Krishna and Godavari rivers and ensure that Telangana's rightful share will not be taken by AP."

NMC To Set Up Scientific Sanitary Landfill For Inert Waste At Bhandewadi
Nagpur: In a significant move to streamline solid waste management, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) initiated development of a scientific sanitary landfill at Bhandewadi for inert waste — non-biodegradable, non-combustible, and non-recyclable remnants such as silt, dust, and debris from street sweeping and solid waste processing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The landfill will be constructed on a 7-acre plot next to Sustainable Business Development (SusBDe) project site and animal cremation ground. This land forms part of the 55-acre area reclaimed by NMC through legacy waste treatment undertaken by Zigma Global Environ Solutions at the Bhandewadi dumping yard. Bhandewadi, which once lay on the outskirts of Nagpur with no residential presence nearby, is now surrounded by densely populated colonies. Over the years, residents repeatedly raised concerns over foul smell, health hazards, and pollution. Keeping this mind, municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari has now envisioned complete treatment of daily garbage to eliminate untreated dumping and ensure cleaner surroundings. Currently, Nagpur generates around 1,200 to 1,300 metric tonnes (MT) of municipal solid waste every day. Only 750–800 MT is being processed by SusBDe, a Netherlands-based firm contracted for a 15-year term (extendable to 30 years) to handle both fresh and legacy waste using dry fermentation technology. Of this, a small proof-of-concept mobile unit processes merely 200 MT/day, leaving a wide treatment gap. Though the full-scale plant was originally scheduled for completion by March 2025, the deadline has been extended to November 2025, with civic officials saying efforts are underway to ramp up the capacity to 450 MT/day in the coming months. Under the agreement, SusBDe is expected to produce up to 27 million cubic metres of compressed biogas annually and share carbon credits equally with NMC. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The firm is also bound to pay annual royalty of Rs15 lakh to the civic body. Of the 55-acre reclaimed land, 30 acres have been allotted to SusBDe for the waste-to-biogas facility. The remaining portion, including the seven acres for the proposed landfill, is now being prepared for construction. NMC has invited bids from qualified contractors to build, operate, and maintain the landfill for two years. An NMC official said the landfill will be crucial for disposal of inert waste left after processing. Currently, the civic body has been using such material for filling low-lying areas and road construction, ensuring no inert remains at the dumping site. Together, the scientific landfill and biogas plant are key pillars in NMC's push to make Bhandewadi a model hub for sustainable and scientific waste management — aimed at delivering long-term relief to nearby residents and restoring environmental health.
