UP-RERA H1 2026: Noida Leads Uttar Pradesh

What UP-RERA's H1 2026 Report Actually Found

UP-RERA's half-yearly count of every project approved statewide — the H1 2026 edition, covering January through June — was reported by the Times of India on 29 July 2026. Statewide, UP-RERA approved 143 projects worth ₹31,952 crore. No district came close to Gautam Buddha Nagar, the district that includes Noida, Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway corridor where Sector 22D sits.

Figures quoted exactly as recorded in UP-RERA's H1 2026 report, per the Times of India, 29 July 2026. Statewide unit total was not published in the source report.

Lucknow filed the most individual projects (37) but a far smaller investment value (₹3,834 crore) — about a quarter of Noida's. Noida and Ghaziabad's combined ₹19,000 crore and roughly 22,660 units worked out to 49% of units approved statewide, with Noida alone the largest single-district share by a wide margin.

Eldeco Echoes of Eden's Registration Sits Inside This Window — Not Inside This Number

The guardrail we hold ourselves to when citing this report: Eldeco Echoes of Eden's RERA registration, UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, was granted in February 2026 — squarely within the January–June 2026 period the H1 report covers. That is a verifiable, date-based fact. Whether EOE's specific numbers sit inside the ₹15,678 crore or 13,160-unit figure is not verifiable, since UP-RERA's report has no project-by-project list — so we say EOE was registered within the period the report covers, and leave it there. See our RERA protection dossier, or the complete Echoes of Eden project guide for towers, configurations and current pricing.

What a RERA-Registered Purchase in the Leading District Actually Buys You

The report is a district-level scoreboard; the protections that matter to an individual buyer sit inside the registration itself. For Eldeco Echoes of Eden, that registration means:

• Escrow-protected funds — a minimum of 70% of everything collected from buyers must sit in a project-dedicated bank account, released only against certified construction progress, not free for the developer to use elsewhere.
• A disclosed, legally binding possession date — January 2031 per the RERA filing — with statutory delay-interest owed to buyers if that date is missed.
• Direct booking, no separate EOI — up to 10% of BSP under the Sec-13(1) statutory cap, with current Caelum-tower pricing at ₹9,300/sq.ft* and the entry 3 BHK+2T configuration (~1,550 sq.ft) from approximately ₹1.44 Cr.
• A registered channel partner — Vidastu Advisory, UP RERA Agent UPRERAAGT000309/01/2026, the only entity legally permitted to facilitate this transaction on the developer's behalf.

Why UP-RERA Is Calling This Growing Confidence

UP-RERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy is quoted as saying the H1 2026 figures reflect "growing confidence among homebuyers and investors." Analyst Ashish Kumar, cited in the same report, points to expressways, metro expansion, industrial corridors and smart-city programmes as the drivers. Sector 22D sits inside that description — Yamuna Expressway, YEIDA industrial corridor, minutes from Noida International Airport. We read this as an indication of investor confidence, not a forecast — no page on this site promises price appreciation or investment returns.

Verify the Numbers Yourself

Every figure above is quoted from a public, cited source — nothing here is an internal estimate. Two places to check it yourself:

1. Read the original report: Times of India, "60% of UP's real estate investment in Noida, Ghaziabad," 29 July 2026.
2. Verify any individual project's registration: search by name or number on up-rera.in/projects — Eldeco Echoes of Eden's is UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, registered February 2026, exactly as described above.
