Noida, October 12, 2026: The Noida Authority has approved a revised master layout plan for the Sports City project in Sector 150. The Authority has notified the Supreme Court of this event through an affidavit. The approval marks an important step towards resolving the long-running delays affecting the project and its homebuyers.
The revised plan covers a 300-acre Sports City development. It reserves 70% of the land for sports facilities, keeping sports infrastructure at the centre of the project. However, the approval does not automatically allow all construction activities to resume.
Revised Layout Clears a Major Hurdle
Lotus Greens Constructions submitted the revised master layout plan to the Noida Authority on January 2, 2026, along with the required fee. The Authority considered the proposal at its 222nd board meeting on April 6, 2026, after inviting and addressing public objections.
The Authority granted formal approval on May 6, 2026. Skyline Architectural Consultant prepared the revised layout, and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) reviewed the proposed sports facilities.
The Authority has now updated the Supreme Court on these developments as part of its ongoing compliance with the court’s directions.
Homebuyers Await Progress
The Sports City project has faced years of construction delays and legal scrutiny. Around 8,000 homebuyers continue to await progress, making the revised approval an important development for affected residents.
The Supreme Court had earlier directed the authorities to address pending issues and establish a framework for the project’s development. The latest approval removes one major hurdle, but developers must still meet the applicable conditions before they can resume all construction work.
What Happens Next?
The next steps will depend on compliance with the Authority’s requirements, including building plan approvals, outstanding dues and other applicable regulations. The Noida Authority must also ensure that the development follows the original Sports City scheme.
For homebuyers, the revised approval offers a sign of progress. However, they should track further court directions, construction permissions and official updates before drawing conclusions about project completion or possession timelines.
The decision marks progress in the Sports City case, but the project’s full revival will depend on timely compliance and the next stages of regulatory approval.
