Surreal to see it covered here. I have been frequenting Greater Noida (& the region on the expressway) for a decade & have seen the extent of transformation that has taken place there. The real estate boom almost ended in a whimper with unfinished construction sites and unsold condos/flats rotting away in an Indianized urban decay. The crime was so bad that it was unthinkable to move on that route after 6 PM. There have been improvements, with big names like ST Micro, Sapient, KPMG, Accenture renting offices in that area, however a bigger socioeconomic, positive impact is dampened because of inherent corruption, lobbying by real estate/sand mafia & bureaucracy.
