GMADA Public Notice
Acquisition of land setting up of Industrial Park in Sector 103 Hearing of Objections U/s-15.
Overview of the Notice
The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, Punjab has issued a public notice regarding the hearing of objections connected with land acquisition for the Industrial Area in Sector 103, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali). The land-acquisition proceedings had earlier moved to the Section 11 preliminary notification stage, with the relevant notification issued on: 9 March 2026 Following that notification, objections were submitted by affected landowners and other interested persons.
Hearing of Objections
The notice states that objections received against the proposed acquisition are being taken up for hearing under the relevant provisions of the: Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013). The objections relate to the proposed acquisition of land for Sector 103 Industrial Area, S.A.S. Nagar.
Hearing Date and Time
According to the notice, the hearing was scheduled for: 10 June 2026 at: 10:00 AM The hearing was to be conducted at the office of the Land Acquisition Collector, PUDA Bhawan, Sector 62, S.A.S. Nagar. One OCR reproduction shows a different time, but the clearer portion of the notice indicates 10:00 AM. The original scan should be checked before publication.
Why Has a Public Notice Been Issued?
The Land Acquisition Collector states that separate hearing letters had already been issued to landowners and other interested persons who had filed objections. However, some letters may not have reached the concerned persons because their residential addresses were not available or could not be properly identified. The public notice was therefore issued to ensure that all affected objectors were informed about the hearing date and time.
What Can Be Raised at This Stage?
This hearing relates to objections submitted after the Section 11 preliminary acquisition notification. Such objections may concern matters connected with the proposed acquisition, including the land being acquired and the justification for the acquisition, within the scope permitted by the RFCTLARR Act. This stage should not be confused with later proceedings such as:
- Section 19 declaration
- Section 21 notice to persons interested
- acquisition award
- compensation determination
- possession
Why Is This Hearing Important for Landowners?
The objection hearing gives affected landowners and other interested persons an opportunity to have their objections formally considered before the acquisition proceeds further. Anyone who had already filed an objection should therefore have checked:
- whether their objection had been recorded
- the exact Khasra number involved
- the area proposed for acquisition
- the hearing date and time
- supporting revenue/property documents
- any other relevant documents supporting their objection
What Happens After the Objection Hearing?
After hearing the objections, the competent authorities can consider the objections and proceed further in accordance with the RFCTLARR Act. Depending on the outcome and subsequent government decisions, the process may later move toward: Section 19 declaration → further statutory notices → claims/interests → acquisition award → compensation → possession The hearing itself does not mean that the acquisition has been completed.
Geography of Sector 103
Sector 103 is an integral part of Greater Mohali's planned urban landscape, strategically positioned to support rapid development. It is located in a key growth corridor characterized by a network of major highways and access roads that facilitate logistics and transport. This infrastructure enhances connectivity to nearby cities and supports the operational needs of potential businesses looking to set up in the Industrial Park. Its relation to other commercial sectors encourages integration within the broader industrial ecosystem, making it a pivotal area for future economic activities.
History and Development of Sector 103

The region's development narrative is one of systematic modernization, with infrastructure upgrades and business-friendly policies designed to attract significant investments.
