Gaur Plume vs ACE Terra, Eldeco and ATS Province D on Sector 22D: honest comparison for 2026 buyers
By Vidit Kaushik, Vidastu Advisory · UP-RERA Agent UPRERAAGT000309/01/2026 · Published 15 June 2026
This comparison is for information purposes and is based on publicly available data and our advisory experience. Competitor information (prices, RERA status, timelines) changes frequently — independently verify all competitor details before any financial decision. We represent Gaur Plume as a channel partner; this should be read with that context in mind.
Gaur Plume at Sector 22D sits alongside several competitor projects on the Yamuna Expressway corridor — ACE Terra, Eldeco and ATS Province D being the most frequently compared. Gaur Plume's distinguishing position is a ₹8,499/sq.ft* pre-launch price (vs a stated ₹12,000/sq.ft* at launch), a larger ~85,000 sq ft peacock-themed clubhouse, and Gaursons' corridor-specific delivery track record. Competitors offer different trade-offs — typically more advanced RERA status (greater current certainty) against a potentially different price point and product specification.
The Yamuna Expressway Sector 22D market in 2026
Sector 22D and the surrounding sectors on the Yamuna Expressway have seen a significant uptick in developer activity since 2024, accelerated by the Noida International Airport opening for commercial flights in June 2026. Multiple developers have launched projects in this zone, creating a genuinely competitive market for buyers.
This is positive for buyers: competition disciplines pricing, specifications and developer behaviour. The key differentiators to evaluate across all projects are: price per sq.ft, product specification, developer track record, RERA status, clubhouse/amenity scale, and connectivity position within the sector.
With that framework in mind, here is how Gaur Plume compares to the most asked-about alternatives:

ACE Terra, Yamuna Expressway — the comparison
ACE Group (ACE Infrastructure) is an established Delhi-NCR developer known for ACE Platinum, ACE City and other Noida/Greater Noida projects. ACE Terra on the Yamuna Expressway is one of their Sector 22 corridor offerings.
ACE Terra's strengths
- ACE Group has a clean delivery track record in the NCR — relatively fewer delay-related complaints compared to some other NCR developers
- Depending on current status, ACE Terra may be RERA-registered — which provides a binding AFS with legal possession date and penalty provisions
- ACE projects typically offer strong value-engineering and quality finishes at their price points
Where Plume differs
- Plume's pre-launch price (₹8,499/sq.ft*) may offer a more attractive entry versus ACE Terra's pricing if ACE is in an advanced construction phase and priced accordingly
- The ~85,000 sq ft peacock clubhouse at Plume is likely a larger amenity package than ACE Terra's offering
- Hafeez Contractor's architectural involvement at Plume is a differentiated credentialing
Who should consider ACE Terra
Buyers who prioritise RERA registration today, a developer with fewer delivery complaints, and do not need the largest clubhouse footprint on the corridor. Less speculative; more contractually certain at this moment.
Eldeco, Yamuna Expressway — the comparison
Eldeco Infrastructure & Housing is a well-regarded developer known primarily in Lucknow and the broader UP residential market, with a growing NCR presence. Eldeco's brand strength is its consistent delivery record — they are frequently cited as one of the more reliable Indian mid-market residential developers.
Eldeco's strengths
- Strong delivery track record — notably fewer delay-related RERA complaints in their historical portfolio
- Conservative and methodical development approach — typically do not overcommit on inventory
- Mid-premium pricing that has historically offered solid value-for-money
Where Plume differs
- Gaursons' larger YEX presence (Gaur Yamuna City, Gaur Chrysalis) means more corridor-specific track record to evaluate
- Plume's themed-luxury positioning and ~85,000 sq ft clubhouse represent a higher specification than Eldeco's typical offering in the same price range
- Pre-launch pricing of ₹8,499/sq.ft may be lower than any current Eldeco launch pricing on the same corridor
Who should consider Eldeco
Buyers for whom delivery certainty and reliability are the top priority over a premium product or the lowest entry price. If you are an end-user who wants a high probability of receiving possession on time with fewer complications, Eldeco is worth evaluating seriously.
ATS Province D, Yamuna Expressway — the comparison
ATS Infrastructure is one of NCR's premium residential developers — known for ATS Greens series in Noida and their high-specification delivery. ATS Province D on the Yamuna Expressway is positioned in the luxury residential segment.
ATS strengths
- Strong premium brand recognition in the NCR luxury residential market
- High-specification build quality — ATS projects typically deliver above-average finishing standards
- Sound delivery track record for completed phases
Where Plume differs
- ATS typically prices at a premium — if Province D is priced at or above ₹12,000/sq.ft (the Gaur Plume launch price), then Plume's pre-launch at ₹8,499/sq.ft* is a materially lower entry
- Gaursons' YEX-specific track record (Gaur Yamuna City, Chrysalis) provides more corridor-specific evidence than ATS, which is better known in central Noida
- Plume's ~85,000 sq ft clubhouse is a scale differentiator at the luxury end
Who should consider ATS Province D
Buyers who prioritise finishing quality and are willing to pay a premium for it, and for whom the ATS brand is the primary comfort factor. End-users who want the best-finished product even at a higher price.
Purvanchal — worth mentioning
Purvanchal Group is another UP-based developer with activity on the Yamuna Expressway corridor. They are known primarily for mid-segment residential projects. Purvanchal's positioning is typically at a lower price point than Gaur Plume and serves a different buyer segment. If your budget is below ₹1 Cr (2-3 BHK), Purvanchal may be worth evaluating. If you are in the themed-luxury / ₹1.3–2.5 Cr range, Plume, ACE, Eldeco and ATS are more directly comparable.
