New Delhi. Noida is no longer just a satellite town of Delhi, but has become one of the strongest and fastest growing economic centers of India. Noida has witnessed unprecedented expansion in the office, residential, retail, industrial and data-centre sectors, which has changed the identity of the entire area. A comprehensive report by Cushman & Wakefield titled ‘Noida – Runway of Growth’ explains in detail the reasons for this historic progress made by Noida. According to the report, there has been tremendous growth in all sectors like office, housing, retail, industry and data-center in the city. For this reason, Noida has today become one of the fastest developing urban areas of the country.
The corporate face of the city is shining rapidly. Today, there is a total of 43.4 million square feet of office space in Noida, out of which 26.6 million square feet falls in the high-quality Grade-A+ category. There has been an increase of about 40 percent in high-quality corporate infrastructure in the last five years. Multinational companies and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are now choosing Noida as their new destination, making the corporate ecosystem here stronger than ever.
Noida is the fastest growing real estate market of the country.
Yash Garg, Director of M3M Noida, says that the Cushman & Wakefield report has made it clear that Noida is no longer just an emerging area, but has become one of the most modern and fast-growing real estate markets of India. The development taking place here is not trivial but it is a big change, which is being driven by rapidly growing infrastructure, ever-increasing demand from Global Companies (GCCs), advanced manufacturing and simultaneous growth of commercial and residential projects.
The city is creating its own identity
Today, Noida is not competing with any other city but is creating its own identity with massive growth potential, good planning and an ecosystem that is beneficial for both global businesses and discerning home buyers. Leasing of 3.3 million square feet (MSF) office space was recorded in Noida between January and September 2025 alone. This figure is estimated to reach 4.7 MSF in the entire year, which shows that the confidence of companies is continuously increasing.
Great boom in residential sector
The growth in the residential sector of Noida is also amazing. More than 10,000 new homes were launched in the first nine months of 2025, with the mid-segment providing most of the supply and premium housing also seeing a revival. Home prices have increased by almost 80% in the last six-seven years, reflecting both people’s desire for a better lifestyle and confidence in long-term investments.
AU Real Estate Director Ashish Aggarwal says that Noida’s residential sector has now become a high value corridor for home buyers. Recent major infrastructure expansion, better metro connectivity and increasing employment opportunities have made it more attractive. Home prices have increased by more than 80% in the last six-seven years, reflecting continued confidence and real demand.
Scope for growth in high-quality retail
Retail infrastructure is also constantly changing. Although the total mall stock is 8.1 million square feet (MSF), only 30% of it falls in the Grade A+ category. This means there is still huge opportunity for high-quality retail and entertainment space. Due to increasing spending power and increasing footfall of young working population, brands are now trying to secure good space before the competition.
Aman Trehan, Executive Director of Trehan Iris, says that the upcoming Noida International Airport (NIA), along with a better network of expressways and metro connectivity, will give a new direction to the development of this entire area. With this, Noida will become a major economic hub and a center for large-scale investment and business expansion. Further strengthening Noida’s growth, it has become the largest data center hub in North India.
