Thirty-five per cent of India's stalled residential projects having 1.65 lakh flats worth a total of Rs 1.18 lakh crore are in Uttar Pradesh's Noida and Greater Noida, according to a white paper released on Sunday.

Besides, there are at least one lakh individuals who are still waiting to register their flats while nearly 60,000 others are yet to be handed flats long after their possession date, stated the white paper, issued by citizens' platform Noida Dialogue and private body Namo Seva Kendra.

BJP national vice president Gopal Krishna Agarwal on Sunday unveiled the 'White Paper on Homebuyers Issues in Gautam Buddh Nagar (Uttar Pradesh)' during a programme in Greater Noida West in presence of scores of aggrieved investors.
