Circle Rates in Noida: Sector-Wise
Noida's circle rates are set per square metre and, after years of no change, the state has moved to raise them. Since your stamp duty is calculated on the circle rate, this affects every registration in the city. Whether you are budgeting a purchase or registering a flat, you need the real numbers. This guide gives the current sector-wise circle rates in Noida for 2026, drawn from the official revision data.
What changed in 2026
After nine years without a hike, the UP government moved to raise Noida circle rates, with a proposed increase of around 20 percent, and up to 25 percent in Greater Noida and Noida West. There are also location loadings: an extra 5 percent for metro proximity and 7.5 percent for expressway adjacency. Circle rate, also called collector rate, is the government's minimum registration value, and stamp duty is charged on it or your sale price, whichever is higher.
Current sector-wise residential circle rates
| Sector category | Circle rate per sq metre (2026) |
|---|---|
| Premium (14, 14A, 15A, 30, 36, 44) | ₹1.07 lakh to ₹1.23 lakh |
| Mid-range (50, 51, 53) | ₹78,000 to ₹86,000 |
| Emerging (104, 107, 110, 168) | ₹54,000 to ₹62,500 |
| Developing / peripheral (66, 100-150 belt) | ₹41,500 to ₹47,500 |
Rates are from the official 2026 revision data and are per square metre, so a 100 sq metre plot in a premium sector has a circle value of over ₹1 crore. Metro and expressway loadings can push the effective rate higher for well-connected projects. Confirm your sector's exact rate with the sub-registrar before registering.
Why this matters for your budget
Because stamp duty is charged on the circle rate when it exceeds your sale price, the hike raises your registry cost. On a premium-sector flat, a higher circle rate means higher duty even if the market price is unchanged. Our UP and Noida stamp duty guide shows how the 7 percent duty (5 percent effective for women up to ₹1 crore) combines with the circle value. Always check the circle rate before finalising your budget.
How to use the circle rate
- Find your sector's exact rate and any metro or expressway loading before budgeting.
- Compare it with the market rate. Where the circle rate approaches or exceeds the market, you pay duty on the higher value, see our circle rate versus market rate guide.
- Register in a woman's name for the lower effective duty on that value.
- Budget the duty as upfront cash, since banks do not fund it, our down payment guide covers the full upfront cost.
Why the metro and expressway loadings matter
The 2026 revision's location loadings, around 5 percent for metro proximity and 7.5 percent for expressway adjacency, are worth understanding because they target exactly the projects buyers most want. A flat near an Aqua Line station or along the Noida Expressway, already priced at a premium in the market, now also carries a higher circle rate, so its stamp duty rises on two counts. This does not make well-connected flats a bad buy, connectivity is worth paying for, but it does mean your registry cost on a metro-adjacent or expressway flat will be higher than a comparable flat further out. Factor the loading into your budget, and confirm whether your specific project attracts it, since the exact application depends on measured distance to the station or corridor.
