Boney Kapoor's Film City project hits roadblocks

Gets 3 days to revise the plan

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) has rejected the layout plans submitted by Bayview Bhutani Film City Private Limited — a consortium led by filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the Bhutani Group — for the proposed ‘Film City’ in Sector 21 here along the Expressway, citing multiple rule violations.

Yeida issued a notice to the firm, asking it to revise and resubmit the plan within three days.

Officials said the current layout lacks key clearances, including a fire no-objection certificate (NOC) and a structural safety certificate. It also breaches the sanctioned land use by proposing commercial construction on land designated as green space.

Submitted recently, the layout plan for the first phase of the Film City project drew objections from Yeida due to “significant deviations from approved land use norms”.
