Search for “Sector 28 YEIDA” and you will find two very different kinds of statement: official-looking facts about plots that were allotted, and large investment figures that come from news reports with no allotment notice behind them. This guide keeps the two apart. It also covers the practical question for most readers: Sector 28 is industrial land, so what, if anything, does it change for someone buying a residential plot or farmland nearby?
Sector 28 data centre park: key facts
- What it is: an industrial sector of YEIDA set aside for data centres. YEIDA’s own land bank table lists a Data Centre Park in Sector 28 of 100 acres.
- Allotted (2023): two plots of 20,000 sq m each, D-9 to Jackson Limited and D-10 to Sify Infinit Spaces, with a combined reported investment of ₹1,757 crore and about 775 jobs.
- Reported, not confirmed by us: two parcels for the Adani Group (reported November 2023) and a proposed 384 MW project by AM Group (reported September 2026).
- Conflict: a 2021 proposal spoke of 200 acres; YEIDA’s current land bank shows 100 acres.
- For plot buyers: Sector 28 is not residential land and is allotted to businesses by scheme. It is not a reason to trust a claim that a plot or farm is “near the data centre park”.
What YEIDA says itself
YEIDA’s industrial page lists the Data Centre Park in Sector 28 in its land bank table at 100 acres, and states that industrial plots are planned in Sectors 28, 29, 32 and 33, with plot size, location and status to be checked on YEIDA’s GIS portal. The page gives no plot count, plot sizes or list of allottees for the data centre park. That is why the details below come from news reports of specific allotments, and why each is dated.
The 2023 allotment: what is documented
In November 2023, a PTI report carried by The Week described the outcome of YEIDA’s data centre plot scheme in Sector 28:
- Five plots were offered. Three applications were received and two plots were allotted.
- Plot D-9 (20,000 sq m) went to Jackson Limited and plot D-10 (20,000 sq m) to Sify Infinit Spaces.
- The combined investment was put at ₹1,757 crore, with about 775 jobs expected. The report quoted a YEIDA Additional CEO on the two companies’ backgrounds.
- Eight plots were said to remain in Sector 28 for future data centre allotment, with further schemes planned.
Trade coverage a week later (tele.net.in, 14 November 2023) added that Sify had signed a memorandum with the Uttar Pradesh government at the state’s investor summit in February 2023 and then applied under the YEIDA scheme, and that each of the two parcels is about five acres.
What is only reported
| Item | What was reported | Our status |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Group | Two parcels in Sector 28, with an investment of over ₹7,400 crore and over 3,700 jobs (tele.net.in, 14 Nov 2023) | Reported by one trade outlet. We did not find the YEIDA allotment notice. |
| AM Group | A proposed 384 MW first phase of about 114 acres, at ₹26,910 crore, with a 2028 target and 1 GW by 2030 (Square Yards, 1 Sep 2026) | The article cites no YEIDA notice, approval or allotment date. Treat as a proposal. |
| Ten more parcels | Ten additional parcels of five acres each, over 50 acres in total, offered in Sector 28 (Blackridge Research, 25 Jun 2024) | The report gives no allotment method, rate or deadline. Not confirmed by us. |
Why the acreage does not add up. In August 2021 the state government was reported to have proposed a data centre park of 200 acres in Sector 28. YEIDA’s current land bank table shows 100 acres. We found no document explaining the difference, so we show both and do not pick one.
Sector 28 also hosts other uses
Sector 28 is also the site of the Medical Device Park, covered in our guide on Film City, Toy Park and the Medical Device Park. YEIDA’s September 2026 hotel plot scheme (CHP-08/2026) also covers plots in Sectors 28 and 29; the dates and reserve price are in our YEIDA plot schemes guide. Our Sector 28 page gives the sector overview.
What this means if you are buying a plot or farmland
- You cannot buy here as a household. Industrial plots are allotted to businesses by YEIDA scheme. How that works is explained in our guide to YEIDA industrial plot allotment.
- Do not rely on “near the data centre park” in a sales pitch. Ask which sector or village the land is in, then check that against YEIDA’s notified list and master plan. Our notified village list and master plan guide help.
- No official figure ties a data centre park to prices or demand around it. We found none, so this guide makes no claim about land values nearby. Reported investments are proposals until the allotment and the building exist.
- If you build near the airport, height and zoning rules apply regardless of what is built next door. See our guide to the AAI height NOC.
- Be wary of scams that borrow big names. See land fraud around Jewar.
Common questions
It is a block of industrial land in Sector 28 that YEIDA has set aside for data centres. YEIDA’s land bank table lists it at 100 acres.
In November 2023, YEIDA allotted two plots of 20,000 sq m each, D-9 to Jackson Limited and D-10 to Sify Infinit Spaces. The Adani Group was reported to have two parcels there, and AM Group has been reported as planning a larger project, but we did not find YEIDA notices for those.
Sources differ. A 2021 report of the state’s proposal said 200 acres; YEIDA’s current land bank table says 100 acres. We found no document explaining the difference.
No. It is an industrial sector, and plots are allotted to businesses through YEIDA schemes, not sold to households.
We found no official figure that says so, and this guide does not make that claim. Check the circle rate and the actual sector or village of any land you are offered, using our guide to circle rates on the Yamuna Expressway belt.
Please verify before you commit. Allotments and investment figures change. Treat this as a snapshot of reporting up to 4 October 2026 and confirm current status on YEIDA’s industrial page before relying on any single project.
