New Chandigarh

The Punjab Government officially renamed Mullanpur as New Chandigarh in 2013 to develop it as a modern, planned extension and smart city near Chandigarh, featuring eco-friendly townships, business hubs and better infrastructure. New Chandigarh is not just another suburb — it is a master-planned township designed to serve as a counter-magnet to Chandigarh city, reducing pressure on the Union Territory's strained infrastructure while offering high-quality planned living. The township sits at the foothills of the Shivalik range in Mohali (SAS Nagar) district, Punjab.

The area is organised into distinct functional zones. The city is divided into sectors numbered 1 to 27, with Eco City I and Eco City II serving as flagship residential townships spread across 806 acres, while the Education City covers 1,700 acres housing university campuses, and the Medicity features a healthcare hub. Major institutions like the Indian School of Business (ISB), a planned Medicity, Education City and a proposed Metro connection further elevate New Chandigarh's stature as a world-class address.

Demand here is being driven by land scarcity in older Chandigarh sectors. As Chandigarh tricity real estate matures and older sectors run out of land, buyers are increasingly looking beyond Chandigarh and Mohali towards Mullanpur New Chandigarh, where larger plots, comparatively lower entry prices and long-term appreciation potential make more financial sense. Land values in the GMADA area have already risen sharply, from around ₹5 crore per acre to around ₹8 crore per acre in a short period, following acquisition notifications.

Several established developers have already staked claim here. Omaxe runs multiple projects in the area, including Omaxe The Resort, Omaxe World Street and Omaxe Cassia, while DLF Hyde Park offers premium bungalows and terrace homes in South Mullanpur. M3M has entered this corridor as well, with M3M New Chandigarh positioned as a luxury residential offering in this fast-growing hub near Chandigarh.
