Noida Sports City update: SC-02 layout cleared, four projects get conditional OCs, Sector 150 prices near Rs 13,000 a sq ft

Noida’s long-stalled Sports City projects are moving again. The scheme – adopted by the Noida Authority in 2007 and launched across four schemes covering about 798 acres, with roughly 70 per cent of the land reserved for sports facilities – was frozen on January 18, 2021 after a CAG audit flagged allotments made without the required approvals. The logjam began clearing after the Supreme Court, on November 24, 2025, directed the Authority to lift the development ban within 30 to 45 days; the Authority lifted it on plot SC-02 in Sector 150 at a board meeting in early January 2026. SC-02’s revised layout has since been approved (board nod in April, final approval in May and building plans in June), with the Sports Authority of India vetting the plan, and about 20,000 Sector 150 homebuyers stand to benefit. Four housing projects – by Brick Rise Developers, Ace Infracity, Land Kart Builders and Samridhi Infra Square – have received conditional occupancy certificates, while revised layouts from Logix Infra (Sector 150), 3C Green (Sectors 78-79) and ATS Homes (Sector 152) are out for public objections. On current prices, Sector 150 apartments are quoted at roughly Rs 12,950 a sq ft in 2026, up from about Rs 8,205 in 2023, with Sector 152 near Rs 12,800. The Authority was due to meet on October 23 to consider objections to new layouts in Sectors 79, 80 and 152, and the Supreme Court has further hearings listed for December 9, December 16 and January 20.

For the thousands of families who booked here and then waited, this is the first real movement in years – approvals, conditional OCs and a court actively pushing the file forward, rather than another round of silence.

For buyers, the honest read is cautious optimism. The direction is positive: a revived layout, conditional OCs and Supreme Court oversight are exactly what a stuck project needs, and that approvals now carry conditions – dues to be paid, revised master plan to be followed, and in one resolution plan a binding deadline to finish sports facilities within three years – is a good sign for accountability. But these remain conditional and project-by-project, several cases are still sub judice with hearings into next year, and possession timelines depend on each developer clearing its own compliance. If you already own here, track your specific project’s OC and registry status and the court dates rather than the overall headline. If you are buying in, insist on a project with its occupancy certificate and clear registry in hand – not one still waiting on an approval – and treat the Rs 13,000-a-sq-ft quotes as a negotiating starting point, confirming the live price and legal status with the builder and on the Noida Authority and UP-RERA records before you pay.
