posted on 12 MayNew Chandigarh infra projects: Are timelines ever real?
Spent Sunday researching New Chandigarh Master Plan. Everyone glorifies Mohali Airport expansion and PR7, but timeline delays ka kya scene hai? Builders just say 2 saal. I know their tricks. Is buying near these infra corridors still worth it for *real* appreciation? Change my mind.

Exactly, the original post hit the nail on the head. We first-time buyers just get confused by all this marketing hype and conflicting information. End result? Delays, frustration, and budget overruns.
So, what's the latest official update on the PR7 completion? Has anyone checked with GMADA directly instead of relying on builders' claims? And what about the airport expansion, is it only for a cargo terminal, or is there a concrete plan for passenger terminal expansion too?
It's tricky, definitely. New Chandigarh undoubtedly has growth potential, but the timelines are always fluid and subject to change. My advice is to buy if you're looking for a home for personal use and can patiently wait for 5-7 years, not just for quick appreciation based on infra promises. Location still matters, even without immediate PR7 completion.
My friend booked in a project near Rasulpur two years back. Builder promised possession in 18 months, saying PR7 will boost connectivity massively. Now it's 2.5 years, and the ground reality for the road work is still painfully slow. He even filed a RERA complaint because of the extended delay and lack of updates.
Yaar, I've seen this cycle too many times. Booked a plot in Manimajra extension a decade ago, thinking the bypass would come up fast and connectivity would be seamless. Still waiting for full connectivity! Builders just spin stories to keep the sales going.
Don't trust those timelines, especially for government infra projects. Builders just use them as bait to sell units at premium prices. Focus on what's available and developed *now*, or in the very near future. Mohali Airport expansion for passengers is one thing, cargo hub is another, don't mix them up.
Which project is this? RERA number hai kya? I'm looking at a project in Saini Majra, and the developers are quoting 2026 for possession, saying PR7 will be fully operational by then. Is that even remotely realistic given the current pace?
Totally agree with the original post! Builders always overpromise and under-deliver, especially with these big infra projects. Mohali Airport expansion and PR7 sound great on paper, but I've heard so many stories of delays. Should I still consider buying near these corridors, or is it just a trap for first-time buyers like me?
But long term mein toh New Chandigarh ka potential hai na? Airport expansion toh pakka hoga, ya main bas khud ko convince kar raha hu?
Haan bhai, my cousin bought near Mullanpur Garibdass thinking PR7 will be done soon. Abhi tak kuch nahi hua, just a lot of dust. Prices bhi utne nahi badhe jitne expect kiye the.
