Yeida nod to layout map of new Film City's phase I project
GREATER NOIDA
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) on Monday said it has approved filmmaker Boney Kapoor's revised layout map for Phase 1 of the Film City project in Yeida Sector 21.
The consortium led by Kapoor and the Bhutani Group, Bayview Bhutani Film City Private Limited, will now develop the film institute and film studios under Phase 1 at a cost of ₹1,500 crore over five years, officials said.
'The revised layout plans are made according to approved terms and conditions. They also have all requisite approvals including fire no-objection certificate (NOC), safety certificate and comply with the approved land use plan. So we have approved the layout plans, which now paves the way for development work to begin at the site,' said Arun Vir Singh, Yeida's chief executive officer.
The Film City is proposed to be built on 230 acres of which 80 acres comprise Phase 1. According to the approved land use, 155 acres are reserved for industrial purposes and 75 acres for commercial use. Of the industrial portion, 21 acres are earmarked for the film institute and 134 acres for film-related facilities, said Yeida officials.
The Bayview Bhutani group had submitted its original plan on May 24. Yeida had rejected the plans on May 27 citing multiple objections, and asked them to revise the plan. Yeida said the original plan had lacked fire NOC, structure safety certificate, and violated land use, said officials.
Yeida said the plan proposed alteration of designated green areas earmarked for parks, playgrounds, and multi-purpose open spaces to construct film studios with accommodations and related infrastructure. This move, officials said, was not in line with the sanctioned land use. The plan also included multiple commercial buildings such as warehouses, hotels, and staff housing within the industrial zone—another clear violation. But in the revised plan, the focus is on keeping the green area intact and first building the film institute and film studios, officials said.
'We want them first to develop film institutes and the studios so that the film training and film making work can start. Later we will allow them to focus on other areas. The authority has made it clear that no permissions will be granted for commercial developments—such as malls or resorts—until the developer completes at least 15% of the film institute and studios constructions. The green cover constitutes 15% of the total site, and the builder has kept it in the revised plan,' said Singh.

Gurgaon Draws Global Eyes: NRIs Pump Rs 10 Cr+ Into Luxury Real Estate
NRI investments in Gurgaon's luxury real estate are surging, with deals over Rs 10 crore. Key drivers include long-term capital appreciation and projects like Dwarka Expressway. A fresh wave of NRI investments is flowing into Gurgaon's luxury real estate market, with many deals crossing the Rs 10 crore mark — and experts believe this is just the beginning. According to Aishwaraya Shri Kapoor, a Gurgaon-based luxury real estate consultant, in her LinkedIn Post, non-resident Indians (NRIs) are now focusing on long-term capital appreciation rather than rental yield. 'Local buyers are still busy comparing price per sq ft. But NRIs are betting big on Gurgaon's capital growth story," Kapoor told the X post. One of the major drivers is the stark price arbitrage between prime Indian and international locations. 'In DLF Phase 1, land is still available at Rs 4–5 lakh per square yard. That's a fraction of what you'd pay in Lutyens' Delhi at around Rs 20 lakh per square yard — or even global destinations like Palm Jumeirah, where prices touch Rs 1 lakh per sq ft," Kapoor explained. Recent data supports this rising trend. As per JLL's Q1 2025 report, NRI real estate inflows have jumped 27% in the last quarter alone. Meanwhile, a Knight Frank projection suggests India's ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) could more than double by 2033 — an audience that sees Gurgaon as a future capital magnet. Kapoor believes infrastructure projects like the Dwarka Expressway (UER-2) and the upcoming Global City are adding to Gurgaon's appeal. 'These are not just roads or commercial hubs — they're Gurgaon's version of London's Crossrail or the Docklands transformation," she said. She added that Rs 10 crore may seem like a large investment today, but in 3–5 years, these could be considered 'steals" in hindsight. 'The capital gravity in India is shifting," Kapoor said. 'And Gurgaon is where it's landing first." Gurgaon is not just India's next real estate hotspot — it is on track to become its version of London by 2045, said Aishwaraya Shri Kapoor in her previous post. Kapoor calls 2035 to 2045 the 'Londonization Decade" for Gurgaon — a period during which the city is likely to witness explosive growth in infrastructure, capital inflows, and luxury housing demand. She points to significant land value gaps as a core driver. 'While Lutyens Delhi trades at around Rs 20 lakh per sq yard, DLF Phase 1 is still at Rs 4–5 lakh. Ultra-luxury property in Gurgaon is priced at Rs 25–35K per sq ft, compared to Rs 1 lakh+ in Mumbai or Dubai's Palm Jumeirah," she noted, citing data from Knight Frank and recent 2025 market averages. Kapoor draws historical parallels with Dubai and London's capital evolution. 'Mumbai followed Dubai between 2008–2018. Dubai mirrored London from 2000–2020. Gurgaon is now following the same early-stage blueprint," she said. About the Author Business Desk First Published: June 10, 2025, 08:15 IST

Janhvi Kapoor's cheat meals are full of flavor, fun, and foodie nostalgia: From pasta to momos to cholcate treats
Fitness and food often walk a tightrope in celebrity life, and Kapoor seems to have mastered the balance. Popularly known for her dedication to yoga, intense pilates routines, and a disciplined diet, the actress also firmly believes in indulging herself once in a while. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And when she does, it's not just a bite here or a nibble there; Janhvi just goes all in. In a chat with Curly Tales, the star opened up about her guilty food pleasures and what truly excites her taste buds on a cheat day. From comforting home-cooked dishes to crowd-favourite fast foods, Janhvi's cravings are both relatable and deeply rooted in nostalgia. Let's take a closer look at the meals that bring her joy on her well-deserved breaks from clean eating. Paya – A bowl full of memories One of the most favourite dishes Janhvi mentioned when talking about her cheat meals was paya. This slow-cooked delicacy made from goat trotters is often prepared overnight, steeping in a mix of earthy spices and herbs. For Janhvi, it's not just a dish, but it's a memory. She fondly recalls having paya at home, especially during winters, when the warmth of the dish feels like a hug in a bowl. The collagen-rich broth, tender meat, and depth of flavor make it one of her ultimate comfort foods. It's hearty, satisfying and takes her back to the kind of food that doesn't care about calories, just comfort. Cheesy Pasta – A creamy carb hug Not every indulgence is rooted in tradition. Janhvi also has a strong love for cheesy pasta, especially creamy, rich versions that offer a full carb-and-cheese overload. Whether it's a classic Alfredo, a four-cheese penne, or a baked mac and cheese, she enjoys piling on the cheese and savoring every bite. For her, it's the ultimate western comfort food that is perfect for a movie night or a quiet evening at home after a hectic shoot schedule. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It's also one of those dishes that you can't eat halfway; Janhvi goes for the full portion, no questions asked. French Fries – salty, crispy, and classic Whether she's out and about or at home, fries are her quick-fix craving. She loves them perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, ideally seasoned with just the right amount of salt. They're her go-to add-on with other meals or even a standalone cheat snack she munches on during travel or in between work breaks. Simple, addictive, and always satisfying, fries have a permanent place in her cheat day roster. Momos – her favorite street-style indulgence Among the more casual foods on Janhvi's list are momos, the beloved dumplings that have earned street food staple status in India. Steamed or fried, stuffed with juicy fillings and paired with a fiery red chutney, momos hit all the right notes for her. Janhvi enjoys them for their flavor and the nostalgia attached to them. They remind her of school days, college life, and those carefree street-side snack moments. It's one of the few things she doesn't mind waiting in line for, cheat day or not. Chocolate Desserts – A cheat meal must end on a sweet note No cheat meal is complete without dessert, and for Janhvi, it's always about chocolate. From dark chocolate bars to gooey brownies, fudge cakes, or warm chocolate lava, she craves that rich, decadent finish. She believes in savoring the sweetness slowly, making dessert a full experience. Even after a heavy meal, she finds room for something chocolatey. It's her way of rewarding herself. Junglee Mutton – her spicy, meaty craving Janhvi's cheat meals don't hold back on flavor, and junglee mutton proves that. A Rajasthani-style preparation, this dish is known for its fiery taste, minimal ingredients, and intense meatiness. Janhvi loves the no-fuss cooking technique—just whole spices, red chilies, and mutton slow-cooked to perfection. The actress admits that when she's in the mood for something bold and rustic, junglee mutton hits the spot. Janhvi Kapoor's cheat meal confessions remind us that balance is the real key to fitness. Her openness about her food cravings proves that even celebrities enjoy indulgent, flavorful meals and don't shy away from celebrating food for what it is—a source of joy, memory, and comfort.

Yeida to develop ‘flatted factory' in Noida's Sector 28
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) on Monday issued a tender to appoint a contractor for developing a ₹125-crore flatted factory complex in Sector 28 near the upcoming Noida International Airport. The project is part of a state-driven initiative to promote the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in the region, officials said. The complex will be built over 38,665sqm and will consist of a basement, ground floor, and three additional stories housing 252 industrial units. The project is expected to be completed within 24 months, followed by a three-year defect liability period. 'The flatted factory will offer fully equipped units with essential facilities, enabling seamless production and operations. It is expected to attract new investments, spur local economic development, and create employment, particularly for youth,' said Arun Vir Singh, Yeida chief executive officer. According to officials, the ground floor will house a multi-purpose room, an exhibition centre, retail space, offices, and a meeting room. The upper floors will have units of three sizes: Unit A (120 square metres), Unit B (90 sqm) and Unit C (60 sqm). The basement will feature car and bike parking and an underground water tank. 'A flatted factory is like a residential complex for businesses, where small manufacturing units operate across multiple storeys, sharing resources such as goods lifts, water supply, and loading bays,' Singh added. The building will feature elevators, HVAC systems, fire safety infrastructure, CCTV, and electronic access controls. It will adhere to green building standards and connect to 24- and 30-metre-wide roads leading to the Yamuna Expressway, officials said, adding that construction will comply with IS codes and engineering best practices.
