YEIDA’s residential development is organised into numbered sectors, each divided into pockets and then into plots. A handful come up in almost every conversation. This is what distinguishes them.
How the numbering works
A plot address on this corridor generally has three parts: the sector, the pocket within it, and the plot size in square metres. So “300 sqm, Pocket K, Sector 20” is a specific, locatable parcel. Pockets matter more than buyers expect — two pockets in the same sector can differ substantially in development status and access.
The sectors people ask about
| Sector | Notes | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Sector 17 | Residential sector on the corridor; plots and pockets allotted through authority schemes | Sector 17 |
| Sector 18 | One of the most actively traded residential sectors, with a large number of pockets (3A–3D, 4A, 5B, 6D, 7A–7F, J and others) | Sector 18 |
| Sector 20 | The other heavily traded residential sector; pockets include D, E, F, G, K, L, N, O, P, R and U, across sizes from 300 to 1,000 sqm | Sector 20 |
| Sector 22D | Residential sector frequently searched alongside 18 and 20 | Sector 22D |
| Sector 25 | Associated with 7% farmer-quota (kisan kota) allotments | Sector 25 |
What actually differentiates one plot from another
- Development status of the pocket. Roads, drainage and electricity vary pocket to pocket within one sector.
- Plot size. Common residential sizes run 120, 162, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 sqm. Size affects both price and the buyer pool when you sell.
- Corner and park-facing position. These usually carry a premium.
- Allotment type. A general-category scheme allotment, a resale, and a 7% abadi plot are three different things with three different risk profiles.
Before you commit to a specific plot
- Confirm the sector, pocket and plot number against the allotment letter
- Check dues outstanding to the authority
- Confirm whether transfer permission is required and obtained
- Visit the pocket, not just the sector — development varies within a sector

Common questions
There is no single answer. Sectors differ in development status, plot sizes available and price, and pockets differ within a sector. The right sector depends on your budget, the plot size you want, and whether you are buying to build or to hold.
A subdivision of a sector. Plots are addressed by sector, pocket and size — for example 300 sqm, Pocket K, Sector 20. Development status can vary noticeably between pockets in the same sector.
Common residential sizes include 120, 162, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 square metres, though what is available depends on the sector and the scheme.
A scheme allotment is priced by the authority but depends on winning a draw. Resale is available immediately but requires diligence on the existing allotment, outstanding dues and transfer permission. Both are legitimate routes.
Please verify before you commit. Land use, eligibility and scheme terms change, and official notifications override anything summarised here. Always check the current position with YEIDA or your legal adviser before making a purchase decision.
