About the City
New Okhla Industrial Development Authority comes under the government
of Uttar Pradesh and lies in the Gautam Buddha Nagar District.
Noida was formed on April 19, 1976 and this is celebrated every
year as the NOIDA day. It was during the emergency period when
Sanjay Gandhi took the initiative to form the city under the UP
Industrial Area Development Act. Noida is one of the most modern
cities of India with world class amenities and infrastructure.
The state legislative seat of Noida falls under NOIDA-Dadri "Vidhan
Sabha" region and the Parliamentary seat falls under the
Khurja Parliamentary seat.
Noida is well connected with Delhi and over 50% of the total population
travels to Delhi for official purposes. Connectivity to Delhi

in South Delhi. The city is now the most preffered destination

buildings to set up their corporate offices.
