Updated: Feb 5, 2021

The first planned and organized city of Punjab is New Chandigarh. It will look similar like Chandigarh but will have more green areas and lush surroundings. All important hospitals will be there. Moreover, a new cricket stadium which is quite larger in terms of area is under construction in New Chandigarh. New

Chandigarh is also known as Mullanpur and is in link with Chandigarh and is on the express way that connects Chandigarh to Anadpur sahib. A major builder like Ambika Realcon has already started working on its project in Mullanpur.


In comparison to other areas like kharar or Zirakpur, New Chandigarh is far better in housing, green area and open spaces. It will take some time to develop the area but when it will be fully developed it will be a treat to live there.

New Chandigarh is basically known to be a third satellite city to come up around Chandigarh. Moreover, when Punjab former finance minister Parminder Dhindsa presented the budget for 2014-15 in the state assembly an allocation of Rs 1,218 crore was made for New Chandigarh so that residents of the new city don't have to turn to Chandigarh for all their needs.


New Chandigarh, Mullanpur is a priority project for Punjab. Already, there are plans to have a Metro station, cancer hospital and cricket stadium there. Locations for these projects have been identified in the Master Plan for New Chandigarh prepared recently.


Industries in New Chandigarh


As per the plan, industries in New Chandigarh will shift towards more service-oriented businesses such as IT, health and tourism. Existing brick kilns and wastelands will be removed due to their incompatibility with the surrounding land use and the hazard they pose to the area and people living and commuting there.


Best initiative


It’s a best initiative as it will probably decrease the rush and pollution which is destroying the beauty of the green city. This place will turn out to best for those who want to live in a peaceful place. It has been stated that around 33% area in New Chandigarh will be surrounded by green open spaces.


New Chandigarh will emerge as an "Intelligent City" and shockingly it would not have any poles to hold wires and cables. It will be a low carbon emission city with residential areas being inter-connected with each other.


If you are looking to buy property in Chandigarh, no place could be better than New Chandigarh.
