New roads across 1,300 acres in a bid to transform Mohali, New Chandigarh

The new road network is expected to significantly strengthen the traffic system and provide improved connectivity to rapidly growing residential and commercial zones. It will also boost investment and real estate activity in the region.

The government aims to develop these areas in line with modern urban infrastructure standards. Authorities believe the project will play a crucial role in establishing Mohali and New Chandigarh as well-planned, modern cities, while improving overall infrastructure and quality of life.

The project also includes acquiring 156.61 acres for the development of the Landran–Banur road as a horizontal corridor. Residents have long struggled due to the damaged and narrow road. The new road will provide smoother travel, reduce congestion and improve connectivity between nearby villages and urban areas.

It is also going to benefit the residents of New Sunny Enclave and adjoining sectors.

A new horizontal road, connecting Dara Studio to Kharar via Badmajra, will be built after acquiring approximately 108.57 acres of land. Sectors 122, 121, 120, 123, 125 and 124 will directly benefit, with reduced travel time, lower traffic pressure and improved overall development in the area.

The proposed acquisition will undergo detailed evaluation to determine whether the project genuinely serves public purpose. Authorities will estimate the number of families affected and assess how many may face displacement. The objective is to understand the social impact and ensure appropriate measures for affected residents.

The notification states that the areas where developer companies have already received CLU (Change of Land Use) approval and availed “sellability” benefits under the 06.02.2015 policy will be kept outside the land acquisition process. This ensures that previously approved and developed projects remain unaffected.
