When must the application and money arrive?
Applications open 25 September 2026 at 6:00 PM IST. The Key Dates table (PDF page 3) closes final bid submission on 24 October at 5:00 PM IST, but lists scheme closing and fee / EMD payment at 11:59 PM IST. Clause 1.4.2 also prints a 5:00 PM IST payment time with a blank date. The later payment entry does not extend the bid deadline. Obtain the current payment instruction from YEIDA and complete the application by 5:00 PM IST.
Official scheme register; Key Dates, PDF page 3; data sheet, page 5; clauses 1.4.1–1.4.4, pages 11–12
Where is the hotel application route?
YEIDA’s current scheme register and Hotel E-auction menu link to Procure247. Check Tender and AUCTION, choosing ALL in each, and match CHP-08/2026, sector and plot; the Key Dates page also names CHP-08-2026-27. The public ALL list checked on 25 September did not yet show this scheme. The brochure requires registration and permits the YEIDA payment gateway or RTGS / NEFT / net banking; use the current scheme’s instructions before transferring funds. Clause 1.4.4 lists technical support for registration, fee deposits and e-auction: WhatsApp 8700296403, phone 7042144933 / 9311407487, and commercial@yamunaexpresswayauthority.com. Obtain binding eligibility or payment clarification from YEIDA in writing.
Clauses 1.2–1.3, PDF pages 10–11
Who can apply under either plan?
The brochure permits proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, private / public limited companies and consortiums of up to four members, subject to its Indian-registration and legal requirements. A consortium’s lead member must hold at least 30%, and each other member at least 10%, with the prescribed lock-in until completion. A wholly owned subsidiary may use its holding company’s qualifying capacity and experience. YEIDA-listed defaulters are ineligible.
Clauses 1.3.1–1.3.2, PDF page 11; operator undertaking, PDF pages 26–27
What experience and financial capacity does Plan A require?
Plan A requires experience developing, owning and successfully operating at least one 3-star or equivalent hotel, or the brochure’s qualifying hotel-operator arrangement. The latter requires a suitable operator with three years’ experience and a binding agreement covering at least three years; the prescribed MoU is required before allotment. Financial thresholds depend on plot area and are shown per plot: net worth as at 31 March 2026, a bank solvency certificate no more than six months old, and average audited turnover for 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26.
Data sheet and clause 1.10, PDF pages 5–7 and 15
How does Plan A spread the payment?
Plan A starts with the published 10% EMD. Pay 40% of the total bid premium, including EMD, within 60 days of allotment. The balance 60% is payable in four half-yearly instalments over two years, with 10% annual interest, subject to revision. The stated default rate is 13%, compounded half-yearly. A higher auction price increases the total amount payable.
Key Dates note, PDF page 3; Plan B data sheet, pages 6–7; qualification note after 1.3.2, page 11; clause 1.10.4, page 15
What does Plan B change?
The brochure gives conflicting eligibility instructions. Plan B on PDF pages 6 and 15 says technical and financial tests do not apply, but page 11 requires all plots’ applicants to qualify in both, and the Key Dates note on page 3 admits only financially and technically qualified bidders. Obtain written YEIDA clarification before relying on the waiver or committing funds. Plan B requires 30% EMD plus an irrevocable bank guarantee for 70% of premium from a nationalised / scheduled bank with the application. Pay the balance within 30 days of allotment. Failure forfeits both the EMD and bank guarantee. The guarantee must remain valid for at least three months from allotment or payment of the balance, whichever is earlier, with one additional three-month rollover at the Authority’s request. Confirm the prescribed wording and validity with YEIDA. Entity, hotel-use and development requirements still apply.
Plot schedule, PDF pages 9 and 28; data sheet item 17, page 7
What do the reserve and location charge mean?
The table’s Total Premium at Reserve Price includes the preferential-location charge (PLC): 0%, 5% or 10% according to plot. These are the printed whole-rupee totals; the table’s “in crores” headings are inconsistent with its cells. The brochure says the final allotment rate is the prevailing allotment rate or the auction rate, whichever is higher. The published reserve is therefore not a fixed purchase price.
Clauses 3.6–3.8, PDF pages 18–19; clause 1.10.5(ix), page 16; clause 3.24(iv), pages 21–22
What area and possession risks does the lease carry?
The brochure calls the plot areas approximate and requires acceptance of variation up to 10% either way. Additional area changes the premium at the applicable allotment rate or premium rate, whichever is higher; an increase above 10% gives the stated surrender option. The plots are offered in their existing condition, with a pre-bid site visit required and no claim for their physical condition. Possession is tied to lease execution, with the prescribed premium, advance lease rent and outstanding dues paid. Clause 1.10.5(ix) passes on proportionate increases in acquisition / purchase cost, ex-gratia and no-litigation farmer incentives. Clause 3.24(iv) also passes on additional cost from reserve-price changes ordered by courts, the UP government or YEIDA’s board.
Data sheet height and construction entries; clause 2.2, PDF pages 8 and 16–17
How much can be built, and when?
The schedule gives 40% ground coverage and floor-area ratio (FAR) 3.0. FAR measures floor space relative to plot area. The height table’s “No Limit” is qualified by airport restrictions: the brochure mentions approximately 29 metres near the airport and an Airports Authority of India no-objection certificate above 24 metres. Confirm the site-specific permissible envelope. Start construction within six months; complete the first phase within three years and the full project within five years. The first phase is 50% of permissible FAR up to 4,000 sqm and 40% for larger plots.
Data sheet item 14, PDF page 7; clauses 3.10–3.12, page 19
Can the hotel plot or ownership be transferred?
Transfer requires YEIDA’s permission after the project becomes functional for its allotted use, with outstanding dues cleared and fees under the prevailing policy. Confirm the applicable hotel transfer charge and processing fee with YEIDA before planning a transfer. Constitution and shareholding changes require approval under the prevailing policy and an application within 45 days of the change. Consortium members must retain 100% of their shareholding / ownership until the entire project’s completion certificate.
Construction clause 2.1, PDF page 16; functional clauses 2.3.1–2.3.4, page 17; lease execution 3.3, page 18
What deadlines and extension charges follow allotment?
Execute the lease deed within 60 days of the checklist. Exceptional extensions carry 1%, then an additional 2%, 4% and 8% of premium for successive six-month periods; thereafter an additional 2% per month may apply for one further year, with a maximum three-year extension. Construction-extension charges are 4% for year four and an additional 5% for year five on the proportionate first-phase area, then an additional 6%, 7% and 8% for years six, seven and eight on the whole plot area. Obtain the functional certificate within six months of the completion / occupancy certificate. Functional extensions, if allowed, carry 4%, 5%, 6% and 7% of premium for successive six-month periods, up to two years; further failure risks cancellation and forfeiture of all deposits.

Have any of these hotel plots appeared in an earlier round?
Yes. Procure247 still lists Sector 28 plots H-2 (5,000 sqm), H-3 (10,000 sqm) and H-11 (3,400 sqm) under CHP-01-2022 prequalification, with a bid-submission end of 28 February 2023 and four corrigenda. Open the hotel portal, choose Tender → ALL and find CHP-01-2022, events 24471–24473. These plots appear again in CHP-08/2026. Those old records do not establish whether an earlier allotment occurred or why the plots are offered again. Use the new brochure and any amendments explicitly issued for this round.
Plan B clause 1.10.4, PDF page 15; clause 2.3.4, page 17; clause 3.3.1, page 18; surrender 3.9, page 19; cancellation 3.22, page 21; clause 3.24(xii), page 22
What happens on surrender or cancellation?
Surrender before allotment or within 30 days forfeits EMD. Later surrender before the lease deed deducts the smaller of 40% of premium and the amount paid, plus other dues. General cancellation under clause 3.22 deducts the smaller of 40% of premium and the amount paid for its listed breaches; misrepresentation forfeits all deposits. More severe provisions apply separately: failure to make the hotel functional under clause 2.3.4 forfeits all amounts deposited, and assigning or changing the lessee’s role under clause 3.24(xii) forfeits the entire deposit. Missing the 60-day lease-execution deadline can forfeit 40% of premium plus charges, interest and penalties under clause 3.3.1. Plan B payment default forfeits both EMD and bank guarantee. YEIDA can resume land and structures without compensation; lease rent, interest, penalties and extension charges are not refundable.
Clauses 3.3–3.4, PDF page 18; GST clauses 3.24(xvii)–(xviii), page 22
What does the lease include?
The land is offered on a 90-year lease for its specified use. The plot premium does not replace lease rent: annual rent starts at 2.5% of premium plus GST, payable in advance, and automatically increases by 50% every ten years. The alternative one-time payment is 27.5% of premium plus GST. Earlier annual rent is not credited if the allottee later switches. GST on the premium, stamp duty, registration, permissions and development costs are additional.
Clauses 1.4.7 and 1.4.13, PDF page 12
Can the auction date or closing time change?
The scheduled session is 4 Nov 2026, 11:00 AM–2:00 PM IST. A bid in the last five minutes extends bidding by five minutes, repeatedly. After 6:00 PM IST it continues the next day; there is no published overall cap. The brochure also provides two seven-day application rollovers where fewer than three bids are received. Check the plot’s final eligibility and session notice.
Clause 1.4.7, PDF page 12; clause 1.11, page 16
What if too few eligible bidders apply?
After two seven-day rollovers, fewer than three eligible bidders means no auction for that plot and a refund of processing fee and EMD. A single bid cannot be accepted. This is an exception to the normally non-refundable processing fee. Clause 1.11 separately returns unsuccessful applicants’ EMD without interest, with SBI savings-rate interest for the period beyond one year if held longer.
Clauses 1.4.9–1.4.10, PDF page 12; clause 3.24(xiv), page 22
Can YEIDA withdraw a plot or reject the highest bid?
Yes. YEIDA may withdraw sites, reject any or all bids, or cancel or postpone the auction without giving a reason, even when bids exceed the reserve. Its terms also permit taking back land or buildings in the larger public interest after a hearing and payment at the prevailing rate. Winning the bidding does not remove these conditions.
