Ghaziabad recorded 19 approved real-estate projects worth ₹3,989 crore and roughly 9,500 units in the January–June 2026 half, per UP-RERA's half-yearly report, reported by the Times of India, 29 July 2026. Together with Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar), the two districts accounted for 61% of the state's total real-estate investment — the report's own headline rounds this to 60%. Wave City, Ghaziabad, where Gulshan Empire is located, sits inside this district. Last updated: 31 July 2026.
Ghaziabad, By the Numbers.
UP-RERA's half-yearly report for January–June 2026 counted 143 approved projects worth ₹31,952 crore across the state. Here is Ghaziabad's share, set beside its neighbouring district and the statewide total — figures as reported, nothing extrapolated.
| District | Approved projects | Investment (₹ Cr) | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ghaziabad | 19 | 3,989 | ~9,500 |
| Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) | 27 | 15,678 | 13,160 |
| Ghaziabad + Noida, combined | 46 | ~19,000 | ~22,660 |
| Uttar Pradesh, statewide | 143 | 31,952 | — |

Lucknow filed the most projects of any single district statewide — 37, the highest count in the report — but at ₹3,834 crore and 9,872 units its capital and unit volume land close to Ghaziabad's, well behind Noida's. Investment concentrated harder than project count did: two districts wrote 61% of the state's cheque, out of dozens listed in the report.
Wave City Is in Ghaziabad — Not Noida.
It matters to be precise here, because the two districts in this report are genuinely different places with genuinely different addresses.
Wave City — the ~4,200-acre township on NH-24 / the Delhi–Meerut Expressway that holds Gulshan Empire — sits in Ghaziabad district, one of the two districts UP-RERA's report credits with 61% of the state's H1-2026 real-estate investment. Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) is a separate district, roughly 30 km to the west; a Ghaziabad address is not a Noida address, whatever a sales pitch elsewhere might imply.
What the two districts share is scale. Together they wrote ₹19,000 crore of the state's ₹31,952 crore total on roughly half its approved units. UP-RERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy described the overall report as reflecting "growing confidence among homebuyers and investors" in the state; analyst Ashish Kumar attributed the concentration to expressways, metro connectivity, industrial corridors and smart-city programmes clustering registered development where infrastructure lands first — a pattern Ghaziabad's NH-24 corridor fits.
One Data Point Among Many — Read Honestly.
UP-RERA's report is a district-level count; it does not name individual projects, and we won't pretend it does.
What we can say plainly: Gulshan Empire's own RERA registration — UPRERAPRJ166511/05/2026 — was filed in May 2026, inside the January–June 2026 window this report covers. That is a fact about timing, not a claim that Gulshan Empire is one of the projects inside the ₹3,989 crore figure; UP-RERA has not published a project-level breakdown, and we haven't seen one elsewhere either. What the report does establish is the district: Ghaziabad is one of two districts UP-RERA credits with the bulk of the state's H1-2026 capital, and Wave City sits inside it.
See the current price list and the full RERA record for Gulshan Empire yourself, and treat this district-level trend as context for the corridor — not a substitute for verifying the one project you're actually considering.
Don't Take Our Word For It.
Every figure above is UP-RERA's, not ours.
Read the original coverage in the Times of India, 29 July 2026, and cross-check any project's live registration, promoter details and filing status directly on the UP-RERA portal. A rising district-level number is useful context — an indication of growing investor and homebuyer confidence in the corridor — not a promise about any individual home's future value. Treat it as one input into your own decision, alongside the project's RERA filing, its payment schedule and a site visit.

Ghaziabad's UP-RERA Report — FAQ
What does UP-RERA's H1-2026 report say about Ghaziabad?
Ghaziabad recorded 19 approved real-estate projects worth ₹3,989 crore and roughly 9,500 units in UP-RERA's half-yearly report for January–June 2026, reported by the Times of India on 29 July 2026. Statewide, UP-RERA approved 143 projects worth ₹31,952 crore in the same period.
Is Wave City counted in Ghaziabad's ₹3,989 crore figure?
UP-RERA's report is a district-level aggregate — it does not name individual townships or projects, and we have not seen a project-level breakdown that would let us claim Wave City or any specific project is "counted" inside that figure. What we can say is that Wave City, which holds Gulshan Empire, sits within Ghaziabad district — the district the report's ₹3,989 crore figure describes.
How does Ghaziabad compare with Noida in the same report?
Noida (Gautam Buddh Nagar) recorded 27 projects worth ₹15,678 crore and 13,160 units in the same January–June 2026 period — larger than Ghaziabad on every measure. Together, the two districts accounted for ₹19,000 crore of the state's total and roughly 22,660 units, about 49% of all units approved statewide, which UP-RERA's report frames as 61% of the state's total real-estate investment.
Kya Gulshan Empire UP-RERA ke is report mein shamil hai?
UP-RERA ka report district-level hai — ismein kisi individual project ya township ka naam nahi diya gaya, isliye hum yeh dawa nahi karte ki Gulshan Empire specifically ₹3,989 crore ke figure mein shamil hai. Jo fact verify hota hai woh yeh hai: Gulshan Empire ka apna RERA registration (UPRERAPRJ166511/05/2026) May 2026 mein file hua tha — yani us Jan–Jun 2026 window ke andar hi, jise yeh report cover karta hai. Project apne aap mein Ghaziabad district mein hi sthit hai, jise report ne UP ke top-2 investment districts mein se ek bataya hai.
Where can I verify these UP-RERA figures myself?
Read the original coverage in the Times of India (29 July 2026), which cites UP-RERA's half-yearly report directly, and cross-check any individual project's registration, promoter and filing status on the official UP-RERA portal at up-rera.in. District-level figures are useful context; a project's own RERA filing is the record that actually governs it.
What is driving investment into Ghaziabad and Noida?
UP-RERA chairperson Sanjay Bhoosreddy described the report as reflecting growing confidence among homebuyers and investors in the state. Analyst Ashish Kumar attributed the concentration in Ghaziabad and Noida to expressways, metro connectivity, industrial corridors and smart-city programmes — infrastructure that tends to draw registered development toward the districts where it lands first.
