FAQ
Common questions about Noida Expressway Sector 135 IT Zone
Is Unitech Infospace Sector 135 SEZ still eligible for income tax benefits?
Unitech Infospace is a notified IT/ITES SEZ under the SEZ Act 2005. Units commencing operations can claim Section 10AA income tax benefits subject to sunset clause provisions and operational date eligibility. As of 2026, the SEZ has remaining benefit eligibility for new entrants, but this should be verified with a chartered accountant as Finance Act amendments affect specific year-of-commencement eligibility.
How does the Noida Aqua Line metro serve the Expressway sectors?
The Noida Metro Aqua Line runs from Sector 51 (connecting to Blue Line at Noida City Centre via interchange) to Depot Station in Greater Noida, with stations at Sector 137, Sector 144, Knowledge Park II, and Knowledge Park III. This provides the Expressway IT corridor with its first metro access, reducing car dependency. The interchange at Noida City Centre allows Aqua Line passengers to access the Blue Line to central Delhi.
