However, the upcoming Metro links will change the real estate landscape of these twin cities and boost property prices. Trial runs on the 30-kilometre Aqua Line in Noida will begin from April 15 — a route that will originate from Sector 71 and terminate at Delta Depot Station in Greater Noida. Many commercial markets in Noida as Sector 60, 61, 62, 63, SEZs and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will witness real estate growth.

The authority is presently awarding contracts worth Rs 300 crore for the road resurfacing work which is likely to begin in a few days.
