GMADA Aerotropolis: Mohali Gears Up for World-Class Smart Township Development!

                🏙️ GMADA Aerotropolis – Punjab’s Flagship 
Smart Township Near Chandigarh Airport
The Greater Mohali Area Development 
Authority (GMADA) has officially invited bids 
for the development of the Aerotropolis 
Project, a world-class smart township located 
near 
Chandigarh International Airport. This visionary 
urban project covers 5,350+ acres, offering a 
blend of residential, commercial, institutional, 
and recreational zones.

📌 Project Highlights:
Location: Around Chandigarh International 
Airport (Mohali side), with direct access via 
PR-7 Airport Road.

Total Area: Approx. 5,350 acres

Phase 1 Development: 1,650 acres (Pockets B, 
C, D); Pocket A pending legal review.

Tenders Released: ₹457 Crore for internal 
roads, sewerage, drainage, water supply, and 
underground electric lines.

Approval: Received environmental clearance 
from SEIAA, Punjab.

✅ Pros / Advantages:
Prime Location:

Just 12 km from Chandigarh Airport.

Connected via PR-7 road, providing smooth 
connectivity to Aerocity, IT City, and Mohali.

High Return on Investment (ROI):

Being a GMADA-backed government project, 
land appreciation is expected to be steady and 
reliable.

Early investors may benefit from infrastructure-
led value growth.

Smart & Sustainable Infrastructure:

Planned wide roads, green belts, underground 
utilities, and dedicated commercial zones.

Environmentally cleared – which reduces 
future legal hurdles.

Strong Demand for Residential & Commercial 
Space:

With growing demand for quality housing and 
workspace near the airport, this project holds 
future growth potential.

NRI and institutional investor interest expected 
to rise.

Balanced Urban Design:

Separate pockets for residential, institutional, 
industrial, and mixed-use spaces ensure 
structured urban growth.

⚠️ Cons / Challenges to Watch:
Development Timeline:

Though Phase 1 work has started, full 
development may take several years.

Initial possession and infrastructure readiness 
may take 18–24 months or more.

Higher Entry Cost:

Due to its location and scale, plot rates may be 
higher compared to peripheral areas like New 
Chandigarh or Kharar.

Legal Issues in Some Pockets:

Pocket A is currently under legal review, so 
some areas may face development delays.

Speculative Investment Risk:

As with any large-scale project, some investors 
may speculate early. It’s important to invest 
wisely in approved sectors.

🔍 Why Investors Should Pay Attention:
Aerotropolis is not just a township—it's a 
future-ready city.

Ideal for:

Long-term residential investors

Commercial property seekers

NRI and HNI clients looking for smart 
investment avenues

Infrastructure-led growth and airport proximity 
make it a strategic hotspot in North India’s real 
estate map.

📌 Final Thoughts:
GMADA’s Aerotropolis project represents a 
transformational urban movement in Punjab. 
With solid government backing, clear zoning, 
and future-ready planning, it is poised to 
become 
the next big real estate hub around 
Chandigarh.

Early movers—especially those eyeing end-use 
or long-term appreciation—can benefit greatly.
