GMADA Public Notice
Public notice regarding land acquisition for residential project Aerotropolis SAS Nagar Village Patto.
Overview of the Land Acquisition Notice
The Land Acquisition Collector, Urban Development Department, Punjab has issued a public notice regarding the announcement of land-acquisition awards for land in Village Patton forming part of the Aerotropolis Residential Project in S.A.S. Nagar. Two portions of land are listed in the notice:
| Village | Area | Aerotropolis Pocket | Award Announcement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patton | 399.8333 acres | Pocket E | 20 July 2026 at 11:00 AM |
| Patton | 16.1771 acres | Pocket F | 20 July 2026 at 11:00 AM |
The venue mentioned for both is the Committee Hall, Second Floor, PUDA Bhawan, Mohali, S.A.S. Nagar. GMADA's official notification records separately confirm that Village Patton forms part of both Aerotropolis Pocket E and Pocket F proceedings.
Why Has This Public Notice Been Issued?
The purpose of the notice is to inform affected landowners, interested persons and the general public about the scheduled announcement of the acquisition awards. Concerned persons were asked to be present at the specified venue on the date and time mentioned in the notice.
What Does “Award Announcement” Mean?
This notice should not be confused with an early-stage Social Impact Assessment or Expert Group recommendation. By the award stage, the acquisition proceedings have already moved substantially further through the statutory process. The award is an important formal stage at which the acquisition authority records matters relating to the affected land and compensation under the applicable acquisition proceedings. Landowners should therefore review the actual award and their individual land details rather than relying only on this public announcement notice.
Areas Covered
The notice concerns two Aerotropolis components within Village Patton:
Aerotropolis Pocket E
- Village: Patton
- Area shown: 399.8333 acres
- Award announcement: 20 July 2026

Aerotropolis Pocket F
- Village: Patton
- Area shown: 16.1771 acres

GMADA's notification database identifies a separate acquisition notification for Pocket F in Village Patton dated 24 March 2026, supporting the Pocket F reference in this notice.
Publicity of the Award Notice
The document also directs that information about the award announcement be publicised locally. Copies/instructions were sent for village-level communication, including through local revenue and village representatives, and GMADA's IT system was asked to upload the information on the dedicated website.
What Should Affected Landowners Check?
Landowners connected with Village Patton should verify:
- their Khasra number
- whether their land falls in Pocket E or Pocket F
- the area recorded against their holding
- the acquisition award applicable to their land
- compensation details
- ownership/share details in the revenue record
- any land-pooling option applicable to the acquisition
- any court order or stay affecting their particular land
A village-level award notice does not mean that every parcel in Village Patton is necessarily covered
