Noida Authority Issues Conditional Occupancy Certificate for Sports City
The Noida Authority has issued a conditional occupancy certificate (OC) for the long-stalled Sports City project in Sector 150 developed by Lotus Green Constructions. The decision follows the Supreme Court’s November 24 revival order that permitted work to restart after nearly three years, providing relief to roughly 20,000 homebuyers who were awaiting possession or registration.
Under the board resolution, Lotus Green has committed to pay 20% of outstanding dues within two months of approval of a revised master plan, with the remaining balance payable in six half-yearly instalments over three years. The Authority will place the revised master plan before its board within 30 days to verify compliance with the original Sports City scheme, which mandates 70% of land for sports facilities and 30% for residential and commercial development.
The Supreme Court’s revival framework granted a ‘zero period’ for pandemic months (March 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022) when recalculating dues, allowed joint ventures or co-development subject to authority approval, and warned that non-compliance could lead to cancellation and re-auction of the land. The court will review compliance at the next hearing scheduled for January 15, 2026.
Sector 150’s reactivation also refocuses attention on Noida’s connectivity and how transit upgrades influence demand. Improved links often boost resale and completion prospects in adjacent developments; learn how mass transit can reshape investment dynamics in the region by reading about the Delhi Metro expansion and Noida property hotspots.
Homebuyers should proceed with caution: verify timelines, payment schedules and the exact conditions attached to the conditional OC. Conducting rigorous legal due diligence for property buyers in India—including title checks, scrutiny of the OC conditions and validation of the revised master plan—will help reduce transfer and possession risks.
Beyond Sports City, the board approved citywide infrastructure measures: proposals to set up Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) near drains with EOIs for design, construction and operation; selection of a consultant for a city logistics plan after presentations by SPA Delhi and IIT Roorkee; and review of progress under the Amitabh Kant committee recommendations to revive stalled projects across Noida, Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway region.
Records indicate Lotus Green and consortium partners owe approximately Rs 4,200 crore, of which about Rs 100 crore has been deposited recently. The developer has pledged to complete all sports facilities within three years of the revised-plan approval and finish the remaining residential and commercial components within five years. Staged payments, compliance milestones and clear escrow arrangements are common instruments used to restart stalled projects and enable buyer registrations.
Location remains a key determinant of recovery and value. For buyers weighing opportunities across micro-markets, consult curated insights on corridors, upcoming developments and plot-level advantages at Noida real estate locations and developments to better assess completion timelines and resale potential.
Key takeaways for homebuyers and investors:
- Conditional OC allows phased occupancy but may include mandatory compliance steps that the developer must meet before full handover.
- Watch the Supreme Court compliance review set for January 15, 2026, and the Noida Authority’s assessment of the revised master plan within 30 days.
- Insist on written timelines, transparent payment mechanisms and escrow or bank guarantees where feasible; complete legal due diligence before new payments or transfer.
In short, the conditional OC for Sports City is a meaningful step toward unlocking stalled capital and moving thousands of registrations forward. However, buyers should combine cautious optimism with strict due diligence and active monitoring of developer commitments, revised master-plan approvals and court-mandated compliance checkpoints.
