Upcoming GMADA Projects in Mohali (2026)

No. As of 26 October 2026, GMADA’s Schemes page says no schemes are currently available. Its next estates (Eco City 3, Eco City 4, the Mullanpur township and Aerotropolis Blocks E–J) are at the land-award or land-pooling stage, so there is no plot scheme, price list or application date yet.

GMADA’s pipeline is Eco City 3 (716 acres) and Eco City 4 (526 acres) in New Chandigarh, a 309-acre low- and high-density township at Mullanpur, Aerotropolis Pockets A–D and Blocks E–J (about 5,170 acres around the airport), a 2,489-acre Aerotropolis extension at Banur, a 196-acre commercial centre in Sector 87 (land award 23 October 2026), and two sites notified in August 2026: Expo City (181 acres) and a 230-acre Commercial City Centre in New Chandigarh. Alongside them, private projects are launching on sites GMADA has auctioned, such as Leafsong Retreat (Sector 99), Ananda Crown (Sector 78) and The Marq by Atlantis (Aerocity).

Eco City 3’s land award (₹3,690.32 crore for 716 acres) was announced on 23 December 2025, and SEIAA Punjab granted environmental clearance on 29 September 2026. Landowners can file land-pooling forms until 15 November 2026. After that come possession, layout approval and the landowners’ draw; GMADA has announced no public scheme or launch date.

GMADA announced land awards for Aerotropolis Blocks E–J on 20 July 2026: 3,522.98 acres in eight villages for ₹23,457.74 crore. The earlier Pockets A–D (about 1,651 acres) are issuing letters of intent to landowners, but part of the work is frozen by a Vigilance Bureau case. No public plot scheme has been announced for either.

Not from GMADA: it sells only through public schemes and e-auctions. What brokers call “pre-launch GMADA projects” are private projects on land GMADA auctioned or in its planned sectors. In October 2026 the RERA-registered ones in their launch phase include Leafsong Retreat (Sector 99), Ananda Crown (Sector 78), The Marq by Atlantis (Aerocity Block B) and GMI Lux Housing (Sector 102-A). Projects advertised without a RERA number cannot legally take bookings.

Only after the project is registered with Punjab RERA. Section 3 of the RERA Act, 2016 bars advertising, booking or selling before registration, and section 59 allows a penalty of up to 10% of the project cost. Once registered, a promoter may take at most 10% of the price before a registered agreement for sale (section 13).

When GMADA opens a scheme, it publishes a notice and brochure on gmada.gov.in with the eligibility, sizes, price, earnest money and last date. You apply within that window, and plots are allotted by a public draw of lots. Sites sold by auction are bid for on the PUDA e-auction portal (puda.enivida.com). No scheme is open as of 26 October 2026.

The latest round closed on 20 August 2026: 27 of 37 properties sold for ₹5,391 crore, led by a 27.78-acre mixed-use site in Sector 62 (₹1,742.31 crore). The January–March 2026 round sold 37 of 42 sites for ₹3,136.97 crore, including two group-housing plots in Aerocity Block G. GMADA had not announced the next round by 26 October 2026.

For a private project it should mean the colony holds a GMADA licence (or change of land use) and the project is registered with Punjab RERA. Check GMADA’s licensed colonies list and unauthorised colonies list, then the RERA project search. A project on a GMADA-auctioned site will also show the site number in its RERA address.

A letter of intent (LOI) is GMADA’s promise of developed plots to a landowner who gave land for an estate. The July 2026 policy makes the new Special LOIs transferable, so they are traded. Buying one is a private deal outside RERA: the plot’s location and timing are fixed only at GMADA’s draw, so check the seller’s title and GMADA’s transfer rules before paying.

Yes. GMADA is the Punjab government’s development authority, constituted on 14 August 2006 under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. Its area covers Mohali, Banur, Zirakpur, Dera Bassi, Kharar and Mullanpur, among others, and the New Chandigarh master plan falls under it (GMADA).

It depends on budget and timing. Sectors 78, 88 and 99 have the widest choice of new launches (about ₹1.6–5.5 crore asking, October 2026). Aerocity and IT City suit buyers who want the airport and the IT City–Kurali expressway close by. New Chandigarh (Eco City, Medicity) is quieter and greener, but its new GMADA estates are years away. Compare RERA completion dates, which run from 2028 to 2034.

Eco City 2 Extension is a 96-acre GMADA estate in Hoshiarpur village, New Chandigarh, described in August 2025 as ready with 153 residential plots, 68 commercial plots and four group-housing sites. GMADA has not published a scheme or price for it; the ₹5,500 to ₹60,000 per sq yd figures online are not official.

Purab Premium Apartments in Sector 88 is GMADA’s 1,620-flat project on 37.5 acres, available since 2017; in November 2024 the Punjab government agreed to buy 167 of the flats, and in May 2025 GMADA put 227 unsold flats up for e-auction. GMADA has no flat scheme open now, so Purab flats change hands on resale. New flats on GMADA land come from private projects in Sectors 78, 88 and 99, IT City and Aerocity.

Yes. Under RBI rules, NRIs and OCI cardholders may buy flats, plots in licensed colonies and commercial units without RBI approval, but not agricultural land, plantations or farm houses. Payment must come through banking channels (inward remittance or NRE, FCNR(B) or NRO accounts) (RBI Master Direction). Each GMADA scheme brochure sets its own eligibility.

Search the Punjab RERA project search or the registered projects list for the number, which looks like PBRERA-SAS81-PR1294. In Mohali district, SAS79 means Dera Bassi tehsil (including Zirakpur), SAS80 Kharar tehsil and SAS81 Mohali tehsil. The promoter, address, units and completion date should match the brochure.

26 October 2026 tak GMADA ki koi scheme open nahi hai. Eco City 3 ke land-pooling forms 15 November 2026 tak bhare ja rahe hain; uske baad possession, layout aur landowners ka draw hoga, phir GMADA apni scheme ya e-auction layega. Official date sirf gmada.gov.in ke Schemes page aur newspaper notice mein aayegi.

No. Big Brothers is a private property portal and channel partner. We track GMADA’s notices and the private projects in GMADA areas so buyers can compare them in one place, but for any GMADA scheme the official notice and brochure on gmada.gov.in are final.
