The Comptroller and Auditor General criticised Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority. GNIDA permitted construction on the Hindon floodplain. This area should have been conserved. GNIDA enabled farmhouse development in prohibited zones. This led to environmental and regulatory violations. Schemes violated conservation rules. GNIDA launched schemes in 2011 and 2015. These actions ignored government and tribunal directives.
