The ambitious Aerotropolis project in Mohali has received a major boost as the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (Gmada) formally issued work orders worth ₹509.20 crore for the development of internal roads and essential infrastructure in pockets B, C, and D. This marks a significant step forward in one of Punjab’s most ambitious township projects, situated strategically near Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport. The Aerotropolis City project spans a massive 5,500 acres, with development planned in phases to ensure structured growth and timely completion. Phase one alone covers 1,650 acres, out of which 927 acres are spread across pockets B, C, and D. Pocket A, however, remains under litigation due to the widely reported “guava scam,” leaving it outside the scope of the present works.
The scope of the newly awarded contracts is extensive, covering civil, public health, and electrical infrastructure. The joint venture M/s SBEIPL-HRG has been entrusted with the task of constructing grid roads, laying sewerage and drainage pipelines, setting up tertiary water systems, and installing underground power cables. According to Gmada, these works are designed to be executed simultaneously to avoid delays and ensure that Aerotropolis evolves as a fully integrated township rather than in fragmented phases. The official deadline for completing the assigned work is April 2026, setting a clear timeframe for contractors and administrators.
Officials from Gmada have described Aerotropolis as a flagship township project that will redefine urban development in the region. With residential, commercial, and institutional spaces being laid out together, the project is designed to provide modern amenities and sustainable infrastructure that can support rapid urban growth. The emphasis on simultaneous execution of civil, electrical, and health-related systems highlights Gmada’s effort to prevent the common delays that plague large-scale urban projects. A senior official was quoted as saying that Aerotropolis will be one of Gmada’s most prestigious developments and that all amenities are being carefully planned to deliver a seamless living experience for future residents and businesses.
Strategically located next to Aero City and IT City, Aerotropolis is expected to complement and expand the region’s urban fabric. Its proximity to the international airport makes it an attractive hub for both residents and businesses, blending the convenience of connectivity with modern township design. Gmada’s chief administrator has described the vision behind Aerotropolis as a futuristic living environment that combines natural surroundings with urban sophistication, reflecting the aspirations of a rapidly modernizing Punjab. The integrated planning approach, focus on infrastructure resilience, and emphasis on modern lifestyle amenities underline the project’s potential to emerge as one of the premier addresses in northern India.
The Aerotropolis project has been a subject of attention for several years, but with work orders now issued for internal roads and utilities, the pace of development is expected to accelerate. For Mohali and the wider Punjab region, this could represent not just a real estate milestone but also a transformative step in planned urban development. The successful execution of this project will be closely watched by industry experts, policymakers, and future residents alike, as Aerotropolis has the potential to become a model township that aligns with the state’s broader goals of economic and infrastructural growth. By April 2026, if deadlines are met, Mohali may well witness the emergence of a new benchmark in urban living.
