What Are the Special Benefits for Bidders?
One of the main attractions mentioned in the advertisement is the payment facility.
Allotment With 10% Payment
The advertisement states that allotment can be made on payment of 10% of the bidding amount, with applicable cesses charged separately. This allows the successful bidder to proceed with the allotment without immediately paying the entire bid amount.
15% Rebate on Lump-Sum Payment
A 15% rebate on the balance payment is available if the eligible balance amount is paid in lump sum within 120 days from the allotment date, subject to the applicable terms. This can be an important point for bidders who have the funds available and want to take advantage of the rebate.
How Can You Participate?
Bidders can participate in the e-auction through OTP-based or DSC-based verification. The advertisement also states that GPS-enabled devices are mandatory for bidding.
Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Bidders using NEFT/RTGS are advised to start the payment process at least 24 hours before the scheduled closing of the e-auction. The reason is that NEFT/RTGS transactions can take time to reconcile. Starting the payment process early can help avoid problems close to the auction deadline.
Where Will Updates Be Published?
Any corrigendum relating to the properties or information about an extension of the e-auction will be announced only on the e-auction portal. Therefore, bidders should keep checking the auction portal for the latest information instead of relying only on the original advertisement.

Check the Property Before Bidding
The advertisement covers a large number of properties across different cities and development authorities. The site-specific reserve price, location, size, terms and other conditions can differ from one property to another.

Geography and Covered Areas
The e-auction involves land parcels in key locations within SAS Nagar (Mohali) and New Chandigarh, including areas in Village Bar Majra, Aerocity, and surrounding sectors. These sites are situated in sectors adjacent to Mohali city that are part of GMADA’s urban extension and development plans. The parcels lie within GMADA’s designated growth zones, which include existing urbanized areas as well as nearby villages intended for future development. These sectors, such as PSA Nagar and parts of New Chandigarh, are targeted for expansion through residential and commercial projects, fitting into the region’s broader master plan to encourage sustainable urban growth.
Historical Context and Development Timeline
The area's transformation from mainly agricultural land into a planned urban hub has advanced since early 2025. PUDA and GMADA initiated land sale efforts with notices issued in March and June 2025, initiating land transfer, development schemes, and urban planning activities. These early notices paved the way for the September 2025 e-auction, which aims to attract private investment through digital bidding for the land parcels. Further notices in 2026 detailed additional development milestones, including approvals and layouts for group housing, revised sector plans, and commercial projects within SAS Nagar and New Chandigarh. This ongoing development path highlights GMADA’s focus on accelerating urban expansion, improving connectivity, and systematically integrating new sectors into the existing city fabric.
Significance to GMADA's Development Goals
The e-auction supports GMADA’s strategy to promote transparent, structured urban development through efficient land sales. The parcels are strategically located in sectors like PSA Nagar, Village Bar Majra, Aerocity, and parts of New Chandigarh, designated for residential, commercial, and institutional use. This initiative aligns with GMADA’s goal of creating a sustainable, well-planned city that meets housing demand, stimulates economic growth, and encourages private sector participation. The development zones targeted are integral to GMADA’s vision of balanced territorial growth, infrastructure development, and land use integration, ensuring long-term urban resilience.
