Noida homebuyers say hopes of finally securing legal ownership of flats have been derailed again, as fresh objections across multiple projects push their future into uncertainty.

With the Noida Authority raising fresh objections to the proposed Sports City in Sector 150, homebuyers and residents have threatened to launch a protest over the move they claim is delaying the project. They say the delay is in violation of Supreme Court directives to approve the project’s layout plan within 45 days.

Sector 150 is also where 26-year-old software engineer Yuvraj Mehta drowned in January after his car fell into a water-filled pit — an incident widely seen as an infrastructural failure. Residents had staged protests at the time, calling such lapses systemic.

In an order dated November 24, 2025, the Supreme Court directed the Noida Authority to lift the ban on the Sector 150 Sports City project and approve its layout plan within 45 days. While the Authority subsequently removed the restriction in a board meeting, it has yet to clear the layout plan.

During a hearing on March 11 this year, the court granted the Authority a final opportunity to approve the plan, directing that the process be completed before the next hearing on April 8, 2026.
