Noida Extension's 'full power backup' is a complete joke for investors
Noida Extension – honestly, thinking about Antriksh Golf View I. Everyone glorifies 'full power backup' but nobody talks about the ground reality for investors. It's usually just common areas, right? Tenants expect full flat backup for the rent they pay, and constant power cuts mean higher maintenance calls, lower satisfaction, and potential tenant churn. Same with water supply; if it's tanker-dependent, that's a huge hidden cost and headache. Is it even worth the premium if basic utilities are unreliable? Change my mind.

It really depends on your tenant profile and what rent you're charging. If you're targeting a lower rent bracket, tenants might adjust. But if you're expecting good rental income, these issues can definitely be a deal-breaker. You have to factor in the potential loss of rent and higher maintenance. It's a gamble, honestly.
Toh abhi wahan ke residents ka kya haal hai is power backup aur water supply ko leke? Has anything improved since 2018?
Unfortunately, not much has changed significantly. My cousin lives in Antriksh Golf View I, and the power backup for flats is still largely dependent on separate arrangements or limited points. The water situation is also challenging; while they have borewells, during peak summer, tanker dependency increases, and the cost gets passed on to residents/tenants. With 1597 units, the demand is massive, and existing infrastructure struggles. It's a constant headache for them, especially with kids at home.
Not just Antriksh Golf View I, this issue is quite common across many projects in Noida Extension, especially those near Ajayabpur or even some pockets of Alpha II. The infrastructure development hasn't kept pace with the number of units. I've heard stories from friends who bought in similar projects, and power cuts are a daily struggle. Water tankers are a routine sight. It makes you wonder if these areas are truly ready for the kind of population density they're planning for.
This is exactly why I'm so confused about investing in Noida Extension. I'm on a tight budget, and these hidden costs for power and water can easily add 5-10k to monthly expenses, especially if you're renting it out. Why do builders even advertise 'full power backup' if it's just for common areas? Is it even legal to mislead like this? It feels like they bait you with low maintenance charges initially, then these utility bills make it unviable for tenants, leading to constant churn. It's a huge risk for investors like us.
Totally agree with your point about misleading ads. It's a huge problem for first-time buyers like us.
Exactly! They use clever wording. 'Full power backup' doesn't mean full flat power backup. It's usually common areas, lifts, and maybe 1-2 light points. It's a cost-cutting measure for them. In today's competitive rental market in Noida, tenants expect proper facilities, and if they don't get it, they just move to the next society. This affects your rental yield badly.
Totally agree with the original post! Yeh 'full power backup' ka scam Noida Extension mein har jagah hai. Builders bas common areas ka backup dete hain aur bolte hain full. Bahut galat hai yaar, especially for us first-time buyers who rely on these promises.
Sahi kaha bhai! Mere ek friend ne bhi Antriksh Golf View I mein invest kiya tha 2018 mein, possession ke time usko bhi yahi issue face hua tha. Tenant ko samjhana mushkil ho jaata hai. Is Antriksh Golf View I ka track record in other projects bhi aisa hi hai?
