New Chandigarh – the planned city around Mullanpur in District SAS Nagar – has become one of the most talked-about residential destinations in the Tricity. Here’s what makes the location of Utopia by AGI attractive.
What is New Chandigarh?
New Chandigarh is a planned city developed under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) as an extension of Chandigarh. It lies to the north-west of Chandigarh at the foothills of the Shivalik hills, which gives it greener surroundings and lower density than older parts of the Tricity.
Planned townships
GMADA’s Eco City I and Eco City II are residential townships spread over about 806 acres in New Chandigarh. Alongside them, several private developers have launched group housing and plotted projects, building up a complete residential ecosystem.
Medicity and healthcare
New Chandigarh’s Medicity is a dedicated healthcare zone. Its anchor is the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital & Research Centre of the Tata Memorial Centre, set up on 50 acres. PGIMER Chandigarh is also within easy reach.
Sports and lifestyle
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, with a capacity of around 38,000, has become the home ground of Punjab Kings in the IPL. The area also has resorts, golf and leisure zones planned in its master plan, plus quick access to the Shivalik foothills.
Connectivity
- Short drive to Chandigarh sectors and PGIMER.
- Road links to Mohali, Kharar and Panchkula.
- Access to Chandigarh International Airport via the Airport Road corridor through Kharar.
- Planned road improvements around PGI and Sarangpur aim to further ease the commute to Chandigarh.
