How Expressway Infrastructure Is Turning Mohali Into a Real Estate Hotspot : Udit Jain, Director, ONE Group
S.A.S.Nagar 15 April ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Mohali is undergoing a decisive shift in its urban and real estate narrative, with expressway-led infrastructure emerging as a key growth driver. Enhanced connectivity is not only improving access to the city but also reshaping demand dynamics across residential and commercial segments.
Over the past few years, Mohali has benefited from its strategic proximity to Chandigarh and the development of key infrastructure corridors such as the PR-7 Airport Road and connectivity upgrades linked to the Chandigarh International Airport. These projects have significantly reduced travel time between Mohali, Chandigarh and Zirakpur, with several stretches now enabling faster intercity movement within 20–30 minutes.
The expansion of expressways and arterial road networks has unlocked new development corridors, bringing peripheral sectors into the mainstream. Areas along Airport Road, IT City and sectors near the upcoming Aerotropolis zone are witnessing increased traction. According to market trends, certain micro-markets in Mohali have recorded property price appreciation of nearly 15–25% over the past 2–3 years, driven largely by infrastructure improvements and rising demand.
From a real estate standpoint, this infrastructure push is translating into stronger end-user demand as well as sustained investor interest. Mohali has also emerged as a preferred destination for professionals working in the Tricity region, supported by its improving connectivity and comparatively competitive pricing. The presence of IT hubs and institutional developments is further strengthening housing demand.
Importantly, infrastructure development is influencing the quality and scale of projects being planned. Developers are focusing on integrated townships, mixed-use developments and amenity-rich communities that align with evolving urban lifestyles. At the same time, improved road connectivity is encouraging the growth of commercial and retail spaces, creating a more balanced and self-sustaining ecosystem.
The ripple effect is visible in the form of increased economic activity, job creation and higher absorption of both residential and commercial inventory. With infrastructure projects continuing to progress and new corridors being planned, Mohali’s growth trajectory remains strong. With connectivity acting as a catalyst, the city is steadily positioning itself as a key real estate destination in North India, offering long-term value for both homebuyers and investors.
