Pre Launch & Upcoming Projects in New Chandigarh

There is no single best project: it depends on your budget, how long you can wait and whether you want a flat or a plot. Going by RERA registration, the developer, the location and the price, these are worth shortlisting in November 2026:

• Opus One, Eco City-2 (PBRERA-SAS81-PR1267, registered October 2025): 11 towers of up to 33 floors with about 688 homes, two flats per floor and a 60,000 sq ft clubhouse. GB Realty quotes an all-in box price of ₹12,250 per sq ft (December 2025), about ₹3.6–3.9 crore for a 3 BHK and ₹6.6 crore for a 5 BHK. GB Realty is a new developer (set up in December 2024), and the RERA completion date is October 2034, though it promises December 2029.
• Vamana Riseonic, PR-4 opposite Omaxe New Chandigarh Phase 3 (PBRERA-SAS80-PR1350, 2026): seven 36-floor towers of 3+1 and 4+1 BHK flats of 3,320–4,760 sq ft, each with a private terrace; broker price sheets run from about ₹3.24 crore to ₹5.01 crore. The RERA promoter is Dhir Constructions and Others, marketed by Vamana Group; completion is due by 28 February 2031.
• Plots: Omaxe registered 356 plots in New Chandigarh Phase 6 in March 2026 but had published no prices by November; for a plot now, existing Omaxe and Eco City plots sell on resale (see the plots answer below).

If you can wait less, look at projects already rising: The Tiara in Medicity (4+1 and 5+1 BHK, due April 2029) and the ready stock in the Omaxe and DLF townships. Compare each project's all-in price per sq ft of carpet area and visit the builder's finished projects first. This is general information, not investment advice.

Punjab RERA registered these New Chandigarh projects in late 2025 and 2026 (its list of 25 September 2026):

• Opus One by GB Realty, Eco City-2: registered 16 October 2025 and launched on 7 November 2025; basement work under way by mid-2026.
• Vamana Riseonic, PR-4: registered in 2026; excavation and foundations under way.
• Omaxe New Chandigarh Phase 6, 6A, 6B and 6C: 356 plots on about 27 acres, registered in March 2026 (PBRERA-SAS80-PR1336 to PR1338 and PR1355); no prices or plot sizes published yet.
• Omaxe Resort The Retreat: a new 21-floor tower of about 80 homes at Omaxe's The Resort, registered on 11 March 2026 (PBRERA-SAS80-PR1334) and due by October 2030; not yet marketed.
• The HLP Farm Fields: 26 one-acre farm plots on the Siswan side, registered in March 2026 (PBRERA-SAS80-PR1331), under the Kharar master plan.

Announced but not registered (as on 25 September 2026): Homeland Group's Homeland Infinia, on land it bought near the Mullanpur stadium in February 2026, which brokers already advertise with "pre-launch prices" although the developer's own site says details will follow registration; and Jubilee Group's Jubilee Mercasa, which the developer says is not for sale until it is registered (a RERA number some brokers quote for it belongs to another Jubilee project). Under Section 3 of the RERA Act neither can be booked yet, so don't pay a token or EOI until you can check a registration number.

For GMADA's own plans see the GMADA answer below; for ready and other new projects, see new projects in New Chandigarh; for nearby towns, see pre-launch projects in Mohali, Kharar and Zirakpur.

A soft launch is a quiet first sale before a project's public launch: the builder offers a limited number of homes to selected brokers, investors or past buyers, often at an introductory price and sometimes against a refundable expression of interest (EOI), and uses the response to fix the launch price and date.

As of 2 November 2026 we found no RERA-registered project in New Chandigarh in a soft launch. What is being promoted with "pre-launch prices" and "registrations open" includes at least one high-rise near the Mullanpur cricket stadium that was not on Punjab RERA's list of registered projects as on 25 September 2026 (see the upcoming-projects answer above). A booking, EOI or token in an unregistered project is barred by Section 3 of the RERA Act and has none of its protections, and no Punjab rule says how such an EOI must be refunded, so ask for the RERA number before you pay anything.

A pre-launch project is a new project at the first stage of its sales: it has been registered with Punjab RERA, the builder has not started construction, and the first homes or plots are sold at the opening price with a booking amount and a payment plan. Once excavation or foundations begin it becomes a new launch, and once the towers rise it is under construction.

In New Chandigarh you will also see "pre-launch" used for EOIs collected before a project is registered, which the RERA Act forbids. On this page a pre-launch project is always registered with Punjab RERA and showed no construction when we last checked; each card shows the stage, and projects leave the list once their towers go up.

New high-rise launches in New Chandigarh asked about ₹9,900–11,250 per sq ft of super area in October 2026 (Housing.com), close to Mohali's 2026 launches and nearly twice Kharar's average. Examples, with dated prices:

• Vamana Riseonic: about ₹3.24 crore for a 3,421 sq ft 3+1 BHK to ₹5.01 crore for a 4,769 sq ft 4+1 BHK (broker price sheets, 2026).
• Opus One: ₹12,250 per sq ft box price including parking, power backup, club and maintenance deposit (developer, December 2025), about ₹3.6–3.9 crore for a 3 BHK, ₹5.5 crore for a 4 BHK and ₹6.6–6.7 crore for a 5 BHK.
• Under construction: The Tiara in Medicity, about ₹4.9–9.9 crore before extra charges (broker cost sheet, October 2026).
• Plots: about ₹1.2–1.27 lakh per sq yd in the Omaxe township (October 2026 listings); prices for the new Omaxe Phase 6 plots are not yet published.

Super area includes a share of common areas: at a typical loading, ₹10,000 per sq ft of super area is roughly ₹13,000–16,000 per sq ft of carpet area, so check the RERA carpet area of the exact unit and the cost sheet's extras before you compare.

Only once the project is registered with Punjab RERA. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 then protects you in five ways:

• Registration first (Sections 3 and 10): neither the builder nor an agent may advertise, book or sell homes or plots in an unregistered project, small projects apart.
• The number on every advert (Section 11): brochures, hoardings and online ads must carry the RERA registration number and the authority's website; Punjab RERA wants it in the top right corner (circular of 13 February 2018).
• A 10% ceiling (Section 13): no more than 10% of the price may be taken before an agreement for sale is signed and registered.
• A ring-fenced account (Section 4): 70% of the money buyers pay must go into a separate bank account used only for that project's land and construction.
• Penalties (Section 59): a builder who sells without registration can be fined up to 10% of the project's cost.

Most New Chandigarh projects carry numbers starting PBRERA-SAS80 (Kharar tehsil); a few on the Mohali side start SAS81. A "New Chandigarh" name on a brochure proves nothing by itself: in 2019 Punjab RERA fined Gupta Builders & Promoters ₹1.5 crore for selling plots in a "New Chandigarh Smart City" that had no change of land use, licence or registration (The Tribune, 8 May 2019). Check the number, the promoter and the completion date on rera.punjab.gov.in before you pay.

It can be, with a registered project and a builder you have checked, but it carries more risk than a finished home:

• Delay: you wait four to five years, and projects in the Tricity have overrun their dates. If the builder misses the date in your agreement, Section 18 of the RERA Act lets you leave with a refund and interest or stay and claim interest for each month of delay (Punjab fixes the rate at SBI's highest lending rate plus 2%).
• Plan changes: major changes to the approved plans need the written consent of at least two-thirds of the buyers (Section 14).
• The neighbourhood: New Chandigarh is still being built. Check which roads, schools, markets and bus routes near the site already exist, not just the ones in the master plan.
• The builder: look into who is behind the promoter firm, what it has delivered and whether any RERA complaints or orders stand against it.
• Your exit: selling before possession usually needs the builder's consent and a transfer fee, and resale demand for unbuilt flats can be thin.

1. The RERA record: number, promoter, approved layout and building plans, towers and units, carpet areas, completion date and the quarterly progress reports.
2. Land and approvals: who owns the land (many projects are joint developments with landowners) and the licence or change of land use and building plans approved under the New Chandigarh master plan.
3. Access and services: whether the road to the site, water supply and sewerage are in place or still planned.
4. The all-in price: the basic rate and the area it is quoted on (super or carpet), plus parking, club membership, power backup, preferential location charges, development charges, maintenance deposit and GST.
5. The paperwork: a receipt for every payment, an allotment letter, and a registered agreement for sale before you pay more than 10%, with the carpet area, possession date, payment plan and refund terms.
6. Your exit: the cancellation charge if you withdraw and the transfer fee if you sell before possession.

• PR-4 and the stadium belt (Mullanpur): PR-4, the 60-metre master-plan road from the Chandigarh boundary towards Kurali, passes the MYS International Cricket Stadium; Vamana Riseonic stands on it about 2.7 km from the stadium, opposite Omaxe New Chandigarh Phase 3.
• Eco City 1 and 2: GMADA's own plotted townships, where private group-housing sites are sold at auction; Opus One is on such a site in Eco City-2.
• Medicity: GMADA's medical hub on the Kurali–Chandigarh road around the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital, where The Tiara is being built; two large Medicity sites found no buyer at GMADA's March 2026 auction.
• The Omaxe and DLF townships: Omaxe New Chandigarh (plots, floors and towers, including the Phase 6 plots registered in March 2026) and DLF Hyde Park Estate, much of it already lived in.
• The Siswan side: farmhouse and farm-plot projects in villages north of Mullanpur, such as Amari Hills at Mianpur Changar, about 14 km away; many sit outside the New Chandigarh master plan, so check the village and master plan in the RERA record.

For distances, see the next answer; for every project in the area, see residential projects in New Chandigarh and the New Chandigarh city guide.

By road (OpenStreetMap routes, November 2026), the MYS International Cricket Stadium at Mullanpur is about 7 km from PGI, 9 km from the ISBT in Sector 43, 10 km from Sector 17, 14 km from Kharar, 18 km from Kurali and 18 km from Chandigarh airport. From Medicity, around the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital further north, it is about 9 km to PGI, 12 km to Sector 17, 24 km to the airport and 29 km to Baddi. The Togan–Dhanas link road, opened on trial in December 2023, is the shortest way into Chandigarh, and the IT City–Kurali expressway, open since December 2025, links the Kurali side with Mohali's IT City. Some stretches of PR-4 and its bridges were still unfinished in December 2025 (The Tribune), so drive the route at peak hours before you buy.

Yes, but read the fine print:

• Omaxe New Chandigarh Phase 6, 6A, 6B and 6C: 356 plots on about 27 acres in villages Ranimajra, Sainimajra, Bansapur, Paintpur and Rasoolpur, registered with Punjab RERA in March 2026 (PBRERA-SAS80-PR1336, PR1337, PR1338 and PR1355). Omaxe had not published plot sizes or prices by 2 November 2026.
• Existing township plots: plots in Omaxe's New Chandigarh township were listed at about ₹1.2–1.27 lakh per sq yd in October 2026, for example ₹2.47 crore for 200 sq yd (about 200 gaj) and ₹6.18 crore for 500 sq yd (one kanal) on Housing.com. GMADA's Eco City plots trade on resale; GMADA's own base rate for them is ₹65,000 per sq yd (2025–26), well below the market.
• Farm and villa plots on the Siswan side: projects such as The HLP Farm Fields (one-acre plots, PBRERA-SAS80-PR1331, March 2026) sit under the Kharar master plan, not New Chandigarh's, however they are marketed.

Avoid plots sold by the gaj in villages without a colony licence and RERA registration: in January 2025 GMADA demolished 40 structures in two illegal colonies at Karoran in the Majri belt. GMADA's own new plots are not on sale yet (next answer). See all residential projects in New Chandigarh.

Not on sale yet. GMADA's schemes page showed no open scheme on 2 November 2026. Where its New Chandigarh plans stood:

• Eco City-2 Extension (96 acres at Hoshiarpur village): 135 one-kanal and 18 two-kanal plots to be allotted by draw of lots; the launch planned for September 2026 was put on hold after the Enforcement Directorate's searches at GMADA (Hindustan Times, 9 October 2026).
• Eco City-3 (716 acres in nine villages): land acquired (award of 23 December 2025) and environmental clearance granted on 29 September 2026; landowners can opt for land-pooling plots until 15 November 2026, and no public scheme has been announced.
• Eco City-4 (526 acres): at the first notification stage (June 2026), with the next step on hold.
• Mullanpur Garibdass low- and high-density township (309 acres): award declared; it lies in the eco-sensitive zone, and landowners' pooling forms run until 15 November 2026.

When GMADA opens a scheme, it sells residential plots by draw of lots and commercial and group-housing sites by e-auction on its own website. Anyone selling "GMADA plots" before then is offering land-pooling letters of intent (LOIs) or resale plots, not a new allotment. Our guide to upcoming GMADA projects in Mohali and New Chandigarh tracks every scheme.

It depends on your timeline. In its favour: it is the closest new township to PGI and Sector 17 (about 7–12 km by road), it follows GMADA's master plan with GMADA's own Eco City estates beside the Omaxe and DLF townships, and landmarks such as the MYS International Cricket Stadium (hosting internationals since 2025) and the 300-bed Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital are open. New high-rise launches ask about ₹9,900–11,250 per sq ft of super area (Housing.com, October 2026), close to Mohali's 2026 launches.

Against it: much of the area is still being built, with unfinished stretches of PR-4 and no IT park or metro; GMADA paused new schemes and auctions after the Enforcement Directorate's searches in September 2026; rental yields are only about 2.2–2.5% (SquareYards, September 2026); and portals disagree on recent price trends. It suits buyers who will live there or hold for many years, in a RERA-registered project, more than anyone hoping for a quick resale. This is general information, not investment advice.

Most are construction-linked, and the new high-rises also advertise schemes that spread payments. Published examples:

• Opus One: a "1% monthly" plan reported in December 2025 (20% down, about 1% a month for 42 months, the balance on possession); the reported figures don't add up, so ask for the written schedule.
• The Tiara: 14 stages on a broker cost sheet of October 2026, about 10% at booking and 15% (including booking) within 30 days, then instalments tied to floor slabs and finishing up to possession.

Whatever the plan, the builder may not take more than 10% of the price before a registered agreement for sale, so sign and register the agreement before paying more, check that the stages match the RERA progress reports, and keep a receipt for every payment.

The completion dates declared to Punjab RERA run from 2029 to 2034: The Tiara 30 April 2029 and Amari Hills 14 March 2029 (both already under construction), Omaxe Resort The Retreat October 2030, Vamana Riseonic 28 February 2031 and Opus One 3 October 2034, though GB Realty promises December 2029.

Add a buffer: Punjab RERA ordered delay interest and refunds for buyers in Omaxe's The Lake at Mullanpur in 2025 and 2026, where flats promised for 2019 had not been handed over. If the builder misses the date in your agreement, Section 18 of the RERA Act lets you withdraw with a refund and interest, or stay and claim interest for every month of delay.

• GST: 5% on a flat bought before completion, or 1% if it qualifies as affordable housing (carpet area up to 90 sq m and price up to ₹45 lakh). For a plot, ask for a cost sheet that shows GST line by line.
• Stamp duty: in Punjab about 7% of the value for a man buying alone, 6% for a man and a woman together and 5% for a woman, on the higher of the deal value and the collector rate (lenders' published rates for 2026; confirm the rate for women with the sub-registrar).
• Registration fee: 1% of the value, up to ₹2 lakh.
• The builder's extras: covered parking, club membership, power backup per kVA, preferential location charges (park-facing, corner or lower floors), external development charges and an interest-free maintenance deposit, which together can add several lakh rupees.
• Others: loan processing and legal fees, and brokerage if you buy through a broker.

A pre-launch home is sold at the opening rate and paid for in stages, but you wait four years or more, carry the risk of delay and pay 5% GST. New Chandigarh also has plenty of finished stock in the Omaxe townships, DLF Hyde Park Estate and older towers, where ready flats were listed at about ₹9,000–9,600 per sq ft in October 2026 (Housing.com), below many new launches. A ready home can be inspected and moved into or let at once, with no GST on a resale. Compare the two on the price per sq ft of carpet area, and see ready-to-move flats in New Chandigarh and new projects in New Chandigarh.

Yes, once the project is registered with RERA and approved by your bank. The bank lends against the registered agreement for sale and pays the builder in stages as work progresses, so until possession you pay interest only on what has been released. RBI caps the loan at 90% of the property's value for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 80% for ₹30–75 lakh and 75% above that; the booking amount, stamp duty and registration come from your own pocket. Banks do not fund an EOI or a booking in an unregistered project. Ask the builder which banks have approved the project, and work out the instalment in our EMI calculator.

Yes. RBI allows NRIs and OCI cardholders to buy flats, houses, plots in licensed colonies and commercial property without its permission, but not agricultural land, farmhouses or plantations, so check that a "farmhouse" or "villa plot" near Mullanpur sits in a licensed colony and not on farmland. Payments must come through banking channels (money sent from abroad or from an NRE, FCNR(B) or NRO account), not in cash. If you cannot come to sign, ask how the agreement for sale will be executed and registered, for example through a power of attorney, and check the RERA number yourself on rera.punjab.gov.in.

New Chandigarh's new high-rises compete on space and clubs: Opus One plans a 60,000 sq ft clubhouse with an all-weather pool and private lifts, and every Vamana Riseonic flat has a private terrace, with a club and an all-weather pool planned; plotted townships offer roads, parks, water, sewerage and street lighting. At this stage they exist only on paper, so compare the brochure with the common areas declared in the RERA registration and ask for the list to be attached to your agreement for sale.

Send an enquiry from the project's page on Big Brothers. We pass your details to the builder's sales team so they can send the current price list, payment plan and available units and fix a time for a site visit. Enquiring is free and you are under no obligation to book. At the site office, ask to see the RERA registration certificate, the approved plans and a draft agreement for sale before you pay anything.
