About
the City Noida
History
New Okhla Industrial Development Authority or NOIDA is a part
of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Noida, an integrated industrial
city with ample facilities is considered to be one of the
most modernized cities of Uttar Pradesh and India to be precise.
Noida is a part of National Capital Region (NCR)
and it came into existence on 19th April, 1976. It was developed
near Delhi in the 1970s as a modern industrial city under
the UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. Noida has a
separate administrative zone and functions as a separate district.
Spread across 203.16 km², 50% of its half a million
population daily commute to Delhi,
solely for the purpose of work. The famous Delhi-Noida-Delhi
(DND) Flyway connecting NOIDA with Delhi runs across the
river Yamuna and receives a good patronage from office-goers
in the city making communication easier.
In the entertainment sector, Noida with its green locales
is also famous for its Film city. Due to the popularity
of this beautiful city, an adjacent township - Greater NOIDA
has been developed on the outskirts of NOIDA to cater to
the phenomenal influx of population into this region.
