The Uttar Pradesh Housing and Development Board (UPHDB) has finalised a 40-acre development plan in sectors seven and eight of Vasundhara, Ghaziabad, under a mixed land use model. The layout includes a 10-acre satellite centre for the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and two major plots of 20 and 10 acres for group housing and commercial use.

According to officials, the project falls under the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zone of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor, with the Sahibabad Namo Bharat station located nearby. The auction process for the plots is expected to begin soon.

The overall land bank in these two sectors totals 80 acres, with the first 40 acres cleared for phase one. The development is projected to accommodate a population of 25,000. Vacant land in the area benefits from proximity to both the RRTS corridor and the Hindon elevated road.

A 240-metre bridge is also planned across the Hindon canal to connect Siddharth Vihar with Vasundhara and provide direct access to Delhi and Meerut via the elevated road. The board estimates land auction rates to be around Rs 125,000 per square metre.
