Capitalising on New Chandigarh's IT Proximity: Attract Tech Talent
New Chandigarh's rapid growth is fueled by its strategic 15km proximity to Chandigarh's IT Core. Investors, you're sitting on a goldmine targeting the tech workforce flooding this corridor.
Why Tech Professionals Flock Here
Forget generic insights. They demand seamless commutes, lightning-fast connectivity, and futuristic infrastructure. The administration's ₹2.73 billion 2025 infrastructure push—including the PR4 Road upgrade—slashes travel time to hubs like Sushma Metropol. Meanwhile, Sarangpur's Police Training Centre boosts security, non-negotiable for dual-income tech couples.
Non-Negotiable Property Features
Skip swimming pools; prioritise tech-first amenities:
- Pre-wired Fiber Optic Lines: Zero lag is a dealbreaker.
- Smart Home features: Voice-controlled lighting and advanced security systems.
- 5-10 Minute IT Commute: Proximity to IT hubs like Apple's Heights and Aster Plaza trumps.
- Dedicated Workspace Zones: Soundproof rooms with superior ventilation.
Rental Yield Hacks That Work
Furnished units near Mullanpur Cricket Stadium command 32% higher rents. Implement these tactics:

- Flexible Leasing: Offer 6-12 month terms aligning with IT project cycles.
- Corporate Partnerships: Pitch directly to RGCTP companies for bulk rentals.
- Energy Efficiency: Solar panels and smart meters justify premium rents while cutting tenant costs.
