YEIDA to buy 5k acres for Japanese and Korean cities
Noida: Yamuna Expressway Authority has started buying land for several major projects, including Korean and Japanese industrial cities, a fintech hub, and new residential and institutional areas. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It plans to buy another 5,000 acres from nearly 2,000 farmers in Sectors 4A, 5, 5A, and 11. The acquisition is part of its plan to develop the region around Noida International Airport into a global investment hub. Between 2021–22 and June 2025, the Authority has already acquired about 5,232 acres. This is in addition to plots acquired under Land Acquisition Act for Noida International Airport in Jewar and projects like international film city, medical device park, toy park and apparel park. Currently, two more industrial townships — a Japanese City to be built on 395 hectares in Sector 5A and a Korean City on 365 hectares in Sector 4A — are proposed in the area. While the Korean cluster, focusing on electronics manufacturing, including chips, semiconductors, AI hardware and cameras, is to come up just 10km from the airport, the Japanese City will combine a semiconductor and advanced-tech cluster with residential and commercial spaces. CEO Arun Vir Singh said both the clusters are to be self-sustained zones where 70% of land will be allocated for core manufacturing and the rest for supporting infrastructure, like commercial, residential and institutional facilities. A Fintech City is also set to come up on 250 acres in Sector 11. Sector 5, meanwhile, is earmarked for residential and group-housing projects, with land also reserved for civic facilities such as a children's home and an orphanage.

Sunil Mittal, Warburg Pincus in exclusive talks for Haier India's 49% stake
Bharti Airtel founder Sunil Mittal and private equity firm Warburg Pincus have entered into exclusive negotiations with China's home appliance giant Haier to acquire a 49 per cent stake in its Indian unit, reported Moneycontrol on Friday. According to a report by Bloomberg last month, the stake could be valued around $2 billion. "The exclusivity period is on currently and an official announcement on the proposed transaction is likely this month. The deal structure was a bone of contention earlier with many suitors but now the plan is for the incoming Mittal-Warburg Pincus combine to pick up a 49 per cent stake with the Chinese parent expected to also hold 49 percent stake," one of the persons familiar with the negotiations told Moneycontrol. During an exclusivity period, both sides agree not to negotiate an alternative deal with third parties. "The balance 2 percent stake will be with the employees and both parties, the parent and the consortium, will exercise joint control going ahead, keeping board seats and other aspects in mind," the person added. "Haier is a good commodity player, has a strong supply chain and a healthy market share in every category," another person familiar with the matter said, confirming that Mittal will be engaging in the deal via his family office. Meanwhile, another source said that once the new investors come in, Haier's India unit is likely to go public through an initial public offering (IPO) in the next two years. The development comes after multiple reports over the past few months suggested that Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) was also a key contender for acquiring the stake. Haier targets an upwards trajectory Haier, which entered the Indian market in 2004, offers a range of household appliances including refrigerators, air-conditioners, washing machines, and televisions. In 2024, the company recorded a revenue growth of 36 per cent to reach approximately ₹8,900 crore, according to The Economic Times, placing it third in the Indian home appliances market behind Korean electronics giants LG and Samsung. Looking ahead, Haier anticipates revenue will surpass ₹11,500 crore in 2025, company president NS Satish told PTI. He added that the company is targeting an annual increase of ₹2,000 crore to ₹2,500 crore thereafter. "So we have big plans. And we see a big opportunity in India. When you see the economy GDP, which is doing very well, next is the penetration of the product, which is very low when we compare it to our global counterparts,' he added.
