5. The transformation of a village called Khora at the border of Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad (both satellite towns of
Delhi) to throw light on the peculiar form of capital accumulation happening over there.The village, with its
extended abadi in the form of Khora colony, is situated between the south eastern periphery of Delhi. Since the
high density development of Khora is essentially linked to the development of Noida,the paper is for understanding
how the accumulation in Khora is tied to the new town of NOIDA. An EPZ was established in an area located close
to Noida Phase II Industrial Development Area by the central government (NOIDA 2011). The policies of economic
liberalisation gave a further boost to capital-intensive, medium- and large-scale industries. With the opening up of
the economy in the early 1990s and the New Economic Policy that was crafted at the same time, there was a
greater emphasis on foreign direct investment in infrastructure, establishment of multinational companies, and a
boom in the information technology sector. Basically this paper is telling us about how unlocked and still there is a
possibility to unlock the unban transformation through informal sector of a peripherical area.
