GMADA Public Notice
Public Notice Regarding Aerotropolis Project Pocket-F.
Overview of the Public Notice
This notice is important for people connected with Siaun, Bari, Kurdi and Patton, as it relates to the proposed land acquisition for Pocket F of the Aerotropolis Project in SAS Nagar.
After reviewing the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) report, an Expert Group constituted under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 recommended acquiring the proposed land for the project.
The government then reviewed the matter and concluded that the proposed acquisition would result in minimum displacement of people, minimum disturbance to infrastructure and the environment, and minimum adverse impact on affected persons. Based on this assessment, the competent authority has decided to proceed with the proposed land acquisition for Aerotropolis Pocket F.
Geographical Context of Pocket-F
Pocket-F is situated within the SAS Nagar district, which broadly encompasses Greater Mohali. While the public notice does not provide specific boundary coordinates or geographic markers, it is understood that Pocket-F is designated as part of GMADA’s land pooling and urban planning zones in this region. It lies adjacent to other pockets such as E, G, H, I, and J, forming a collective high-density development corridor around Mohali’s expanding urban and transport network. This planned pocket is integrated into the broader Aerotropolis development plan, which emphasizes transit-oriented growth, industrial zones, and residential complexes aimed at elevating the region’s connectivity and economic activity.
Historical and Developmental Background
The Aerotropolis Project in Greater Mohali originated as part of GMADA’s vision to establish a modern urban hub closely connected to air transportation infrastructure. Over the period from early 2025 through 2026, multiple official notices have outlined stages of land acquisition, pooling, and development activities across several pockets, including Pocket-F. Initial notifications from March 2026 indicated land surveys and formal land acquisition proceedings, followed by community engagement efforts to inform landowners and residents about the upcoming development. These notices show GMADA’s process of consolidating various land parcels—many previously used for agriculture or informal settlements—to support the construction of transportation hubs, industrial zones, and residential sectors critical to the Aerotropolis’s planned growth trajectory.
Significance for Greater Mohali Development
Pocket-F holds a strategic place within GMADA’s broader development vision for Greater Mohali. Its inclusion in land pooling and acquisition activities signifies a move towards establishing a high-capacity, high-density urban zone tailored for business, logistics, and housing. The development of Pocket-F and surrounding pockets aims to enhance regional connectivity through the integration of logistics parks, expanded transportation infrastructure, and transit corridors. This aligns with GMADA’s goal of transforming Mohali into an aerotropolis—an airport-centric, bustling urban hub capable of supporting industrial growth, employment generation, and improved living standards for residents.
