In the first half of the fiscal year, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) reported revenues of INR 9.82 billion, reflecting a remarkable increase of over INR 2 billion compared to the previous year. This growth was largely attributed to a significant rise in group housing projects, with revenues soaring from INR 310 million to INR 4.46 billion. Despite the positive revenue trend, total expenditures exceeded earnings at INR 13.01 billion, with substantial allocations for land acquisition and airport-related expenses, highlighting the Authority's focus on future development along the expressway corridor.
In the first six months of the fiscal year, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) recorded revenues amounting to INR 9.82 billion. This figure represents a significant rise of over INR 2 billion compared to the previous year's performance during the same period, where earnings stood at INR 7.08 billion. In the first half of the fiscal year, there was a remarkable increase in revenue, primarily driven by a substantial growth in group housing projects. Revenue from this sector skyrocketed from INR 310 million during the same period last year to an impressive INR 4.46 billion this year.
Officials noted that this surge can be partially credited to the state government's rehabilitation initiative for delayed projects, which was informed by the recommendations of the Amitabh Kant committee. Additional revenue streams comprised INR 2.70 billion from industrial ventures, INR 100.14 million from commercial developments, INR 630 million from institutional sectors, and INR 1.14 billion from residential plots.
Despite the increase in revenue, the Authority's expenditures outpaced its earnings, totalling INR 13.01 billion during this period. A considerable share of these expenses—around INR 7.99 billion—was dedicated to land acquisition, which more than doubled from the INR 3.62 billion spent in the prior year. Officials have stated that the Authority aims to create a significant land bank to support upcoming developments along the expressway corridor.
Expenditures surged in various areas this year, not just land acquisition. Airport-related expenses climbed to INR 2.04 billion, up from INR 1.64 billion the previous year. Additionally, the budget for development projects experienced a slight increase, growing by INR 40 million to reach INR 2.14 billion, compared to INR 2.10 billion last year.
In conclusion, the financial results for the first six months demonstrate a robust revenue increase for YEIDA, driven primarily by the growth in group housing projects. However, the rising expenditures, particularly in land acquisition and airport expenses, underscore the challenges the Authority faces in balancing its financials. Moving forward, YEIDA’s strategy of building a substantial land bank is crucial for facilitating future developments, ensuring that the growth trajectory continues while managing costs effectively. The Authority’s proactive measures, in light of the government's rehabilitation initiatives, may play a pivotal role in its long-term success.
