The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) has approved eight new real estate projects valued at over ₹1,948 crore, paving the way for 3,005 residential and commercial units across multiple cities in the state, as reported by Hindustan Times.
The approvals were granted during the 185th meeting of UP RERA, chaired by authority head Sanjay Bhoosreddy at its Lucknow office. According to the regulator, the sanctioned developments include a mix of flats, apartments, villas, plots, shops, and other commercial spaces.
Three of the eight approved projects are located in Lucknow, while the remaining five are spread across Prayagraj, Agra, Jhansi, Noida, and Firozabad, with one project each.
“This geographical distribution not only highlights the sustained real estate progress in major urban centers but also brings emerging cities like Jhansi and Firozabad into the mainstream of development,” Bhoosreddy said in an official statement.
He added that the approvals reflect a shift in real estate growth beyond western Uttar Pradesh and metro regions, indicating a more balanced and inclusive development trajectory across the state.
The ₹1,948 crore investment is expected to significantly boost housing stock and stimulate economic activity in allied sectors such as cement, steel, tiles, paint, furniture, electronics, home décor, and financial services.
“These eight project approvals in the 185th meeting clearly indicate that the real estate sector of Uttar Pradesh is moving steadily in a strong and trustworthy direction,” Bhoosreddy said.
The new developments include a range of housing options catering to various income groups, including affordable housing and mid-income segments, alongside commercial infrastructure.
This latest round of approvals comes shortly after UP RERA cleared 21 projects on Sept. 27, with an estimated investment of ₹7,035 crore. Those projects are expected to deliver 10,866 residential and commercial units, including flats, villas, plotted developments, and retail spaces.
While established real estate hubs like Gautam Budh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Mathura, Agra, Bareilly, and Varanasi continue to dominate in terms of investment, emerging districts such as Barabanki are also gaining traction on the state’s real estate map.
UP RERA’s recent moves are seen as a push toward robust, regionally inclusive urban development, offering both housing solutions and employment opportunities across Uttar Pradesh.
