A point-in-time snapshot, current as of August 2026. Verify current figures before acting.
Where prices stand
Mohali has posted roughly 60–80% appreciation over five years, with capital appreciation running 10–15% annually — among Punjab's best. Current ranges by corridor: IT City ~₹4,500–₹10,000/sq ft, Aerocity ~₹6,000–₹15,000/sq ft (premium projects at the top end), and the established sectors (e.g. Sector 82) ~₹4,000–₹7,000/sq ft.
The trend: institutional confidence
Mohali remains the tri-city's growth leader, underpinned by GMADA planning, airport connectivity, and IT-sector demand. Confidence is compounding — the 2026 Punjab investment summit drew large commitments, and developers like the Homeland Group announced major investments (reportedly ~₹1,000 crore) in premium residential and retail development. Punjab is increasingly a top NRI-investment destination, adding to demand.
Where momentum concentrates
- Aerocity: fastest-growing premium zone, airport-adjacent, high appreciation
- IT City: employment-driven, strongest for rental income
- Metro-corridor pockets: areas near planned Aerocity/IT City stations could see 20–30% value lifts
Rents and yields
Mohali offers strong returns — commercial yields ~8–12% (outperforming Chandigarh's 6–8%), and healthy residential rental demand in IT-proximate sectors (top pockets include Sectors 124, 78, and Phase 7/61). PG and co-living near IT hubs earn 6–8%.
A cost note
Chandigarh's revised collector rates (effective April 2026, up 8–22%) reflect a broader regional repricing that raises transaction costs across the tri-city — factor higher registration costs into your budget.
What it means
- Buyers: the tri-city's most credible long-term market — GMADA-planned, airport-connected; verify PUDA/RERA and GMADA approvals
- Investors: Aerocity for appreciation, IT City for rental income; commercial yields attractive
- Caution: higher entry prices than Zirakpur compress yields; some peripheral (Aerotropolis) pockets carry litigation history — verify plot-level title
