Six years after the concept of Transport Nagar was announced
and nearly two years after it became ready for use, the Noida Authority has
finally launched a scheme for the allotment of 500 plots in the area.
The multi-crore project has been developed on 26 acres of
land in Sector 69. It has been envisaged to not only benefit thousands of
transporters and bus operators, but also help decongest main roads where
drivers park their vehicles.
According to officials, the plots on offer range from 120 to
150 square metres in size. "These plots will be allotted to local
transporters and bus operators in Noida's notified area," said a NoidaAuthority official. "They can construct their transport office here. The
bids will be finalized on October 16," he added.
Plots will be allotted through a draw of lots. "A rate
of Rs 18,180 per square metre has been fixed. Location charges will be added
above this," the official added.
The maximum ground coverage allowed in the area will total
60 per cent, while the floor area ratio will be 1.50. The transport hub will
accommodate nearly 2,500 vehicles at a time. The transporters will also have a
godown in the basement, offices on the ground floor and resting rooms on the
first floor. There will be around 120 shops selling automobile goods as well.
The Transport Nagar will also have two petrol pumps, one of
which will be a CNG station. "We have tried to incorporate suggestions
made by transporters during the mapping. We also have green belts and wide
roads on the site, along with public conveniences and commercial zones,"
the official added.
Officials said the Transport Nagar will offer Delhi roads a
respite from heavy commercial vehicles. Heavy traffic from Bhagpat, Badaut,
Meerut, Hapur, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Rohtak, Sonepat and other areas of Haryana
will come directly to the Nagar via expressways. Approximately 1,000 to 1,500
commercial vehicles enter Noida on an average every day, officials said.
"The Transport Nagar will solve the illegal parking
concerns of the industrial area and help bring the entire logistics solutions
under one roof," said Vedpal Singh, president of the Noida Transporter
Association.
