Noida is a suburban satellite town of New Delhi, located on its southeastern perimeter. Though Noida falls in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP), it is a part of the National Capital Region (NCR) and therefore enjoys the patronage of the Union Government of India and to an extent the Delhi State Government as well. Noida is the acronym for New Okhla Industrial Development Authority and is now the commonly used name for the suburb intentionally planned as the indusrtial hub for New Delhi. Incidentally, one part of Noida extends out of Okhla, an industrial zone within Delhi State Perimeters. To know more about the upcoming cities of Noida and Greater Noida, check out Noida Tourism.
