UPSIDA is the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority. It was formed on 5 September 2001 under the UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, and in 2018 it took over the assets, staff and industrial areas of the old UPSIDC company. As on 31 March 2022 it had 154 industrial areas covering about 49,395 acres across UP (CAG audit of UPSIDA, Chapter I).

UPSIDA Lucknow (Ex-LIDA): Master Plan 2041 Map, 79-Village List & Buyer Guide

Q: What was LIDA and what happened to it?

LIDA, the Lucknow Industrial Development Authority, was set up by a government notification dated 28 July 2005. On 4 March 2021 the UP government cancelled that notification and declared that LIDA's area — 45 villages of Lucknow district and 34 villages of Unnao district — is now part of UPSIDA (UP Gazette, 4 Mar 2021). That area is now called "Ex-LIDA".

Q: Which villages are in the UPSIDA (Ex-LIDA) area?

The gazette of 4 March 2021 lists 45 villages of Lucknow district (for example Bijnor, Natkur, Banthara Sikanderpur, Jaitikheda, Bhatgaon and Kurauni) and 34 villages of Unnao district (for example Ajgain, Kusumbhi, Sohramau, Makhdumpur and Unnao). The full list is in the searchable table in this article and in the official PDF (UP Gazette, 4 Mar 2021).

Q: Is the Ex-LIDA Master Plan 2041 approved?

UPSIDA has prepared the Master Plan for Ex-LIDA 2041 with the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, and invited public objections and suggestions (Chetna Manch, 29 Nov 2025). We could not find a gazette notice of its final government approval. Until you see one, treat the 2041 map as the planned land use, and ask UPSIDA which plan applies to your khasra. In June 2021 UPSIDA had adopted the older Ex-LIDA Master Plan 2010-2031 and Building Regulations 2009 for this area (CAG audit of UPSIDA, Chapter I).

Q: Who approves building maps in the Ex-LIDA villages?

These villages are a notified area of UPSIDA, so building and layout permissions are handled by UPSIDA, which runs an UPSIDA online building-plan portal. In February 2023 the LDA board also put up a proposal to take the 45 Lucknow villages out of the Lucknow development area because they are in UPSIDA (LDA board note, 7 Feb 2023). Ask for the approval letter and check who issued it.

Q: Can I buy a residential plot in an Ex-LIDA village?

It depends on the land use of that exact khasra. Large parts of the 2041 map are industrial, green belt or public use, where a private housing colony is not allowed. Some land is marked residential or mixed use. Check the khasra on the map, ask UPSIDA for the land use, check whether the land is under acquisition, and do not rely on a dealer's word.

Q: Is the BrahMos unit in the UPSIDA area?

The BrahMos production unit opened on 11 May 2025 in the Lucknow node of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, on 80 hectares given free by the state government (PTI via The Week, 10 May 2025). The 2041 map marks the defence corridor land as "Un-Defined Area (Defence Industrial Corridor-DIC)". The news report does not name the village, so we do not either.

Q: Is the Ex-LIDA Master Plan 2041 the same as the Lucknow Master Plan 2031?

No. The Lucknow Master Plan 2031 is LDA's plan for the city. The Ex-LIDA Master Plan 2041 is UPSIDA's plan for the 79 villages along NH-27 between Lucknow and Unnao. See our Lucknow Master Plan 2031 guide for the LDA plan.

Sources: UP Gazette notification of 4 March 2021, LDA board note of 7 February 2023, UPSIDA's Master Plan for Ex-LIDA 2041 map, the CAG audit of UPSIDA, and dated news reports (linked next to each fact). Last checked: 10 November 2026.

UPSIDA — the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority — now controls 79 villages between Lucknow and Unnao that once belonged to LIDA, the Lucknow Industrial Development Authority. If you are buying land near Bijnor, Natkur, Banthara or along the Lucknow–Kanpur highway (NH-27), this matters: the rules, the maps and the approving office are UPSIDA's, not LDA's.

This guide explains what UPSIDA is, how LIDA became "Ex-LIDA", shows UPSIDA's official Master Plan for Ex-LIDA 2041 map in a zoomable viewer, and gives the full village list from the government gazette — with a search box so you can check your village in seconds.

Key facts

On 4 March 2021 the UP government cancelled the 2005 notification that created LIDA and put its area — 45 villages of Lucknow and 34 villages of Unnao — into UPSIDA (UP Gazette, 4 Mar 2021).
In June 2021 UPSIDA adopted the older Ex-LIDA Master Plan 2010-2031 and Building Regulations 2009 for this area (CAG audit of UPSIDA, Chapter I).
UPSIDA has prepared the Master Plan for Ex-LIDA 2041 with the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, for industrial growth along the Lucknow–Kanpur highway (Chetna Manch, 29 Nov 2025).
On 7 February 2023 the LDA board was asked to take the 45 Lucknow villages out of the Lucknow development area because they are in UPSIDA (LDA board note, 7 Feb 2023).
Most of the land on the 2041 map is coloured industrial; check the land use of your khasra before you buy.

What is UPSIDA?

UPSIDA is the state government authority that develops and runs industrial areas in Uttar Pradesh. It works under the state's Infrastructure and Industrial Development Department (CAG audit of UPSIDA, Chapter I).

UPSIDA mainly allots industrial plots to businesses. It is not a housing body like LDA or Avas Vikas, although it does run a few residential schemes for its industrial areas.

From LIDA to "Ex-LIDA": what changed

LIDA was created by a government notification dated 28 July 2005 to build an industrial and urban belt between Lucknow and Kanpur. In 2014 its planned area was reported as about 30,000 hectares (Business Standard, Sep 2014). LIDA never had much land of its own and its projects moved slowly.

Two different village counts. The 2021 gazette lists 34 Unnao villages. Later reports on the 2041 plan say 45 Lucknow and 40 Unnao villages, about 300 sq km (Government of UP, Sep 2024; Chetna Manch, 29 Nov 2025). We have not seen an official notice adding the extra Unnao villages, so the table below follows the gazette. Ask UPSIDA if your Unnao village is not in it.

What else the map shows

Road widths written on each road as R/W 30M, 45M, 60M, 90M and 150M (right of way in metres).
Big roads around the area: Lucknow Ring Road, Kanpur Ring Road, Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway, Ganga Expressway, NH-27, NH-230 and NH-30.
Planned utility sites: four sewage treatment plants marked "STP@55MLD", two water treatment plants "WTP@200MLD", two common effluent treatment plants "CETP@100MLD", plus ESS and WMS sites.
Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary in the middle of the strip, and the Sai and Ganga rivers.
Neighbouring authorities printed on the edges: L.D.A. (Lucknow), U.S.D.A. (Unnao-Shuklaganj) and K.D.A. (Kanpur).

Is the 2041 plan final? Reports say the plan was prepared with the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, after talks with UPEIDA, LDA, the Unnao-Shuklaganj Development Authority and other offices, and that public objections were invited (Chetna Manch, 29 Nov 2025). We could not find a gazette notice of its final approval. The map file we show was created on 9 May 2025 (PDF details). Treat it as UPSIDA's planned land use and confirm the current position with UPSIDA.

The plan's stated aim is to push industry along about 80 km of the Lucknow–Kanpur national highway, and to tie the area to the Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway, Ganga Expressway, Lucknow Outer Ring Road and Kanpur Ring Road. It is split into five zones built around warehousing, housing and these new roads (Chetna Manch, 29 Nov 2025).

The official document (PDF)

UP Gazette 4 March 2021 schedule listing Lucknow villages included in UPSIDA

UPSIDA (Ex-LIDA) village list — 7 pages, 2.6 MB

Pages 1–3: LDA board note dated 7 February 2023. Proposal 2 asks for the 45 Lucknow villages included in UPSIDA to be de-notified from the Lucknow development area. (Proposals 1, 3 and 4 are about other subjects.)

Pages 4–7: UP Gazette (Extraordinary), 4 March 2021, notification no. 1133/77-4-21-193Bha-04, with the village schedule in Hindi and English.

The scan is a photocopy, so some names are hard to read. Where the Hindi and English schedules differ slightly (for example "Beti" in English and "Benti" in Hindi), use the khatauni of your khasra to confirm the revenue village.

Buying land in an Ex-LIDA village? Check these 5 things

A lot of plotting is sold in these villages as "near Kanpur Road", "near the Ring Road" or "near the expressway". Before you pay any token money:

Find the land use of your khasra on the 2041 map. Purple is industrial, green is green belt or parks, blue is public use. A private housing colony in these zones is a red flag.
Ask who approved the layout. These villages are a UPSIDA notified area, so layout and building permission is UPSIDA's job (UPSIDA online building-plan portal). An "LDA approved" claim here needs a letter you can check, especially after LDA's 2023 proposal to de-notify these villages (LDA board note, 7 Feb 2023). See our guide on LDA vs Zila Panchayat approvals.
Check for land acquisition. UPSIDA's 2026-27 budget puts land acquisition for new industrial areas first (The Pioneer, 4 Aug 2026). Ask the tehsil and UPSIDA whether your khasra has any acquisition notice.
Read the khatauni. The owner's name, share and the land category (bhumidhari, gram sabha, government land) must match the seller's papers.
Do not pay for "future value" talk. A plan colour or a nearby defence or expressway project is not a promise of price rise. Use official rates such as the Lucknow circle rate for a base.

Industrial land is not a house plot. UPSIDA allots industrial plots to businesses through its own process; the minimum evaluation score for plots above 500 sq m is now 50 points (Indian Masterminds, 16 Oct 2026). A dealer cannot sell you an "UPSIDA plot" for a house.

Get the land checked before you pay. We check khatauni, registry chain, encumbrance, approval status and court cases, and tell you in plain language whether the khasra falls in a risky zone. ₹5,000 for a residential plot or flat, PDF report in 48 hours.

Property verification: ₹5,000

Defence Industrial Corridor and BrahMos

Lucknow is one of six nodes of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, with Kanpur, Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi and Chitrakoot. The BrahMos missile production unit in the Lucknow node was opened on 11 May 2025; it was built for about ₹300 crore on 80 hectares of land given free by the state government (PTI via The Week, 10 May 2025).

On the 2041 map the defence corridor land is shown in grey hatch as "Un-Defined Area (Defence Industrial Corridor-DIC)", with its own "DIC BOUNDARY" line. This land is for defence units, not for private buyers.
