GMADA Public Notice
Public Notice Regarding Aerotropolis Project Pocket-G.
Overview of the Public Notice
If you live in Bari, Kurdi, Matran, Bakarpur or Siaun, this update is important to know about. It concerns the proposed acquisition of land for Pocket G of the Aerotropolis Project in S.A.S. Nagar and explains the recommendations made by the Expert Group after reviewing the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) report. The proposed acquisition was examined by an Expert Group constituted under Section 7 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The group reviewed the SIA report and considered whether the project serves a public purpose and what social impact may result from the proposed acquisition.
What Has the Expert Group Recommended?
After examining the matter, the Expert Group stated that the proposed land acquisition would serve a public purpose and that the expected benefits of the project are greater than the social costs and adverse social impacts. The group recommended the proposed acquisition mainly because:
- The project requires the minimum land necessary.
- There are very limited alternatives for avoiding displacement.
The recommendations are being disclosed to the concerned villages as part of the land acquisition process.
Why Should People in These Villages Take Note?
For landowners and residents of Bari, Kurdi, Matran, Bakarpur and Siaun, this notice provides information about the Expert Group's assessment before the acquisition process moves further. Copies have been sent to the concerned Sub-Divisional Magistrates and Tehsildars. The Sarpanches of the five villages have also been asked to display the notice at prominent public places, including Gurdwaras, temples, mosques, marriage halls and other commonly visited locations. GMADA's IT branch has been directed to upload the notice on the GMADA website so that the recommendations are also available to the public online.
Geographical Context of Pocket-G
Pocket-G is located within Greater Mohali and is included in GMADA’s master plan for the Aerotropolis development. The notice does not specify exact boundaries but is understood to be among other designated pockets such as E, F, H, I, and J. All are planned for phased development. The sector lies on Mohali's outskirts and is positioned to connect industrial corridors, logistics hubs, and urban amenities. Its proximity to planned transportation links, including upcoming roads associated with the Aerotropolis infrastructure, highlights its strategic role in future industrial and commercial growth.
Historical and Developmental Background
Since GMADA announced the Aerotropolis project, pockets like G have played a role in land acquisition efforts aimed at converting rural land into urban zones. Notices from 2026, including this December 2025 publication, show land procurement has been active since at least 2019. Over this period, notices document the transfer of parcels from villages into the scheme, supporting GMADA’s urban expansion. These activities have transformed rural areas into sites for industrial parks, logistics centers, and infrastructure aligned with the master plan. The notices reflect a steady effort toward urbanization based on previous land acquisitions to meet the scheme’s economic goals.
Importance of Pocket-G for GMADA's Development Goals
Pocket-G is strategically positioned within GMADA’s plan to establish the Aerotropolis as a regional hub for air connectivity and logistics. The public notice highlights land pooling, acquisition, and development activities as key to laying the groundwork for industrial zones, transportation routes, and urban infrastructure. Progress here demonstrates GMADA’s efforts to accelerate development, aiming to position this sector as a center of business activity and urban amenities. It supports the regional goal of making Greater Mohali a hub for manufacturing, trade, and logistics, leveraging proximity to air freight corridors and global connectivity.
