GURUGRAM/NOIDA: Sandwiched between the impact of lockdown that enforced a price correction and a prevailing liquidity crunch, the real estate industry of NCR has put forward a wishlist to the Union finance ministry, pinning its hope on reforms and bailouts in the Budget on February 1.

NOIDA: A satellite city will soon come up on the outskirts of Noida. In a major policy decision, the state government on Friday gifted the Noida Authority some 80 villages, which were previously under the jurisdiction of the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA), for further expansion.
