en.Wedoany.com Reported - The first phase of the Harnandipuram housing scheme, located near Raj Nagar Extension in India, will be launched in September, covering an area of 48 hectares. The project is being developed by the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA).

This comprehensive township plan spans 501 hectares, encompassing eight villages including Mathurapur, Shamsher, Champat Nagar, Bhaneda Khurd, Nagla Firoz Mohanpur, Bhovapur, Shahpur Nij Morta, and Morta.

The land is being acquired by the GDA through direct purchase from farmers and other landowners. In May 2025, the authority had planned to launch the first phase on approximately 120 to 130 hectares of land across five villages, but the project scope was reduced due to difficulties in obtaining contiguous land parcels.

GDA Vice Chairman Nand Kishor Kalal told the Hindustan Times (HT) that the first phase will proceed using 48 hectares of continuous land, with two additional nearby areas to be added within the next two months. By the end of 2026, the development area for the first phase is expected to expand to 150 hectares.

The GDA approved the takeover of land in the remaining three villages—Bhovapur, Morta, and Shahpur Nij Morta—through direct purchase at its board meeting on May 15. The first phase is being launched in batches to secure large contiguous land parcels while avoiding the environmental clearances required for large-scale projects, which are time-consuming and could delay construction.

The estimated budget for the township is 23.84 billion rupees. To improve connectivity, the GDA will invite bids for a 6-kilometer, four-lane outer ring road connecting the existing Hindon Elevated Road to Harnandipuram Township, the proposed international cricket stadium, and the Aerocity-themed township. The project budget is approximately 900 million rupees, and the road tender is expected to be issued on Thursday.

Additionally, a tender for a 1.6-kilometer, four-lane flyover from Shastri Nagar to Sanjay Nagar, bypassing the main Hapur Chungi intersection, will be launched within the next day or two. The project costs around 1.2 billion rupees and aims to address traffic congestion on routes from NH-9 and Hapur Road to Delhi Meerut Road and Raj Nagar Extension.
