GMADA Public Notice
Public notice regarding Modification of CLU permission granted to M/s Innovative Housing and Infra Pvt. Ltd for developing Mega Housing Project at Villages Togan and Teera, Teh Kharar Distt SAS Nagar.
Overview of the Public Notice
A major update has been issued regarding the PCL Gateway Mega Housing Project in Togan and Teera, Sub-Tehsil Majri, Tehsil Kharar, S.A.S. Nagar. The Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Punjab has announced the revocation of Change of Land Use (CLU) permission for 30.26875 acres out of the total 155.90 acres earlier permitted for the project. The decision follows complaints and legal notices received from landowners of Togan and Teera.
What Was Originally Approved?
Permission for Change of Land Use (CLU) covering 155.90 acres in Togan and Teera was granted to M/s Innovative Housing and Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. for developing the Mega Housing Project known as PCL Gateway. The original permission was granted through Memo No. 3818 CTP(Pb)/SP-432(M), dated 03 July 2014. The permission was later partially modified for 5.36 acres through another memo dated 26 April 2022.
Why Has Part of the CLU Been Revoked?
The department received complaints and legal notices from landowners of Togan and Teera. Following these complaints, the CLU records were examined and a revenue report was obtained. Both the project promoter and the complainants were also given opportunities for personal hearings. After considering the matter at the government level, it was decided to revoke the CLU permission for 30.26875 acres from the previously approved 155.90 acres. The affected land is stated to be under the ownership and possession of the concerned landowners who had made the complaints, as verified by the concerned Circle Revenue Officer, Sub-Tehsil Majri.
Which Part of the Project Is Affected?
The notice provides a detailed list of Khasra numbers falling in Togan and Teera that are covered by the CLU revocation. These Khasra numbers include land in: Village Togan — several parcels from Khasra Nos. 23, 24, 25, 31 and 32. Village Teera — several parcels from Khasra Nos. 40, 41, 48 and 49. The complete Khasra-number list is part of the official notice and is important for landowners who need to check whether their particular land is included.
What About the Existing Project Layout?
The notice also explains that the revoked land affects various components shown in the project's approved layout plan. The project layout was prepared under Drawing No. PCL/RD/16 dated 19 February 2017 and approved through letter No. 439 dated 11 July 2018. According to the notice, the affected areas include a number of:
- Residential plots
- Parks
- Future expansion areas
- Commercial SCOs
- Parking
- Dispensary
- Religious place
- Integrated school/creche
- Police post
- ESS-1
This means the revocation is not limited to an empty portion of the layout. Several components shown in the existing approved layout are identified as being affected.
What Happens to the Project Layout Now?
The notice states that the affected Khasra numbers fall under Mushtarka Khata. Because of this, the promoter is required to get a Revised Layout Plan approved from the competent authority. Before the revised plan is approved, the land for which the CLU has been revoked will have to be excluded after verification of the land actually in the promoter's possession. The notice also states that a separate public notice will be issued before the Revised Layout Plan is approved.
Why This Matters for Landowners and People Connected With the Project
For landowners of Togan and Teera, the most important point is to check whether their land falls within the Khasra numbers mentioned in the notice. For people connected with the PCL Gateway project, another important point is that the existing layout may require changes because several residential plots and other project components are identified as affected. However, the notice does not itself approve a new revised layout. It says that the promoter must first submit a revised layout for approval by the competent authority.
Geographical Context and Area Involved
Villages Togan and Teera are situated within SAS Nagar district, which forms an integral part of the rapidly expanding Greater Mohali region. These villages fall under the jurisdiction of Teh Kharar, a tehsil that has seen a dramatic increase in urbanization due to infrastructural developments and large-scale housing schemes. The villages are connected by regional roads leading to NH-152, facilitating accessibility and transit to nearby urban centers. The land comprises predominantly flat rural terrain, characterized by agricultural fields and open spaces, but is increasingly being absorbed into the urban fringe generated by SCADA and GMADA’s development initiatives. The area’s transformation is marked by the rise of residential colonies, commercial zones, and planned community infrastructure, indicative of Mohali’s expansion beyond its traditional city limits.
Historical and Developmental Background
Historically, Villages Togan and Teera remained predominantly rural, with livelihoods based on farming and local trades. Until 2024, these villages retained their agricultural character with minimal urban influence. However, recent years have seen a shift driven by GMADA’s master plan for sustainable urban growth. Starting in 2024, multiple official notices have documented the process of land acquisition and land use modifications aimed at establishing residential and mixed-use developments. These involve approvals for layout plans, changes in land categories, and project revisions, progressively transforming the villages into integrated neighborhoods. Projects include the development of affordable housing colonies, commercial complexes, and community amenities that align with GMADA's objective to create liveable, green, and balanced urban spaces. The continuous sequence of notices from 2024 to 2026 highlights an accelerated urban expansion pattern shaping the fabric of the Greater Mohali district.
Significance for Regional Development
The unfolding modifications to the CLU permission reflect GMADA’s strategic emphasis on expanding residential infrastructure in Kharar Tehsil and the SAS Nagar district at large. The project involving Villages Togan and Teera aims to deliver affordable housing options to meet the growing demand driven by urbanization and inward migration. Besides housing, the project incorporates commercial zones and public facilities, contributing to economic activity and community development. Improved connectivity through upgraded roads, public transport links, and enhanced public amenities will support seamless integration of these villages into the district’s urban matrix. From a planning perspective, this development aligns with GMADA’s broader master plan of promoting sustainable growth, minimizing urban sprawl, conserving green spaces, and fostering balanced infrastructure development to prepare Greater Mohali as a modern, eco-conscious city.
