Public notice regarding announcement of the Award for Ecocity-3 Project.

Overview of the Award Announcement for Ecocity-3 Project

For landowners connected with the Eco City Phase-3 project in New Chandigarh, the award announcement was an important step in the land acquisition process. GMADA issued instructions for informing affected landowners about the scheduled announcement of the approved land acquisition award. The award was scheduled to be announced on 26 November 2025 at 11:00 AM at PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali).

Which Villages Were Included?

The scheduled award announcement concerned land being acquired from the following villages: Dhode Majra, Rasulपुर, Salamatpur, Hoshiarpur, Majra, Rajgarh, Kansala, Kartarpur and Takipur. The notice directed the concerned village authorities to inform landowners so that they could remain present at the time of the award announcement.

Why Was a Public Announcement Made?

The notice was not only sent to officials. GMADA instructed the concerned village representatives to conduct Munadi (public announcement) in their respective villages regarding the award programme. Copies of the notice were also to be displayed at prominent public places such as Gurdwaras, temples, mosques, community spaces and other suitable notice boards so that local residents could be informed. This makes the notice particularly relevant to landowners who may not regularly check government websites for updates.

What Was the Scheduled Programme?

The approved award for the land acquisition was scheduled as follows:

• Date: 26 November 2025
• Time: 11:00 AM
• Place: PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali)

What Should Affected Landowners Know?

If your land falls within the villages mentioned in the notice, the key point is that GMADA had scheduled the announcement of the approved land acquisition award and directed local authorities to inform the affected landowners. The notice itself is mainly an information and public-notification step. It does not provide individual compensation amounts or details of each landowner's award.

Geographical Context of the Ecocity-3 Project

Located within the administrative limits of SAS Nagar, the Ecocity-3 Project is positioned on the outskirts of Greater Mohali. Although the notice does not specify exact villages or sectors affected, GMADA's planning documents suggest such ecological urban projects are typically situated on city peripheries to balance urban expansion with environmental sustainability. These sites are carefully selected to facilitate green development, including extensive parks, water bodies, and eco-friendly infrastructure integrated into the urban fabric.

Historical Context and Development Timeline

This award notification is part of an ongoing series of official communications regarding the Ecocity-3 Project. Notices from December 2025 and November 2025 confirmed earlier phases of the project’s award process, indicating a steady progression towards development. Land acquisition and land pooling activities, documented in notices from April and July 2026, are typical preparatory steps in urban development projects, aimed at consolidating land parcels and preparing for construction. These activities showcase GMADA’s strategic approach to phasing project development while ensuring land availability aligns with the overall master plan for sustainable growth.

Importance of the Ecocity-3 Award for Regional Development

The award for Ecocity-3 underscores GMADA’s focus on environmentally conscious urban expansion within SAS Nagar. As a flagship initiative, the project aims to develop integrated green infrastructure, affordable and sustainable housing, and enhanced public amenities, in line with regional ecological planning objectives. It supports broader goals such as reducing urban carbon footprints, encouraging green building practices, and fostering self-sufficient ecological communities. These efforts help to distribute growth more evenly, decrease strain on existing urban resources, and promote a healthier living environment for residents.
