Overview
- YEIDA rejected the layout plan submitted May 27, 2025 by Bayview Bhutani Film City Private Limited, citing violations of land-use norms and missing mandatory safety clearances.
- The authority highlighted that the developer’s plan fragmented the designated green belt and lacked required fire no-objection and structural safety certificates.
- YEIDA has asked Bayview to revise and resubmit a compliant phase-wise proposal, with only the film institute and studios layout under first-phase approval.
- Despite the setback, the groundbreaking ceremony for the 1,000-acre project in Sector 21 of Greater Noida remains scheduled by the end of June 2025.
- The International Film City aims to boost Uttar Pradesh’s economy with a ₹1,510 crore investment in the first 230-acre phase and create about 500,000 direct and indirect jobs.
