LDA: In a major boost to urban infrastructure and real estate in Lucknow, the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has announced its plans to develop a 300-acre logistics park along the Agra Expressway as part of its ambitious Varun Vihar scheme. Alongside, the project will offer over 15,000 residential, commercial, and group housing plots, making it one of the largest planned developments in the city to date.
LDA Vice-Chairman Prathamesh Kumar visited the proposed site on Wednesday and directed officials to expedite the land acquisition process. During his visit to Dona village, where the scheme is centered, Kumar met with engineers, project staff, and local farmers to review the groundwork.
"Varun Vihar will not only provide homes to lakhs of families but will also open up new opportunities in employment and investment. We want to develop it on international standards," Kumar told Economic Times, underlining the scale and significance of the project.
The planned logistics hub will be strategically located with direct connectivity to both the Agra Expressway and Kisanpath, enhancing accessibility for goods movement and supply chains.
Adding to the appeal of the township, the LDA also plans to build an inter-state bus terminal (ISBT) within the scheme. In line with sustainable development goals, nearly 800 acres will be dedicated to green spaces, parks, and water bodies, making it a balanced mix of infrastructure and ecology.
