The Bigger Picture
As the Tricity region continues to attract investors from Delhi-NCR and Punjab, the 2025 Expo reinforced Chandigarh's position as a smart real estate investment destination. With developers like NK Sharma Group and Das Associates focusing on Chandigarh's peripheries, the focus is shifting toward creating self-sufficient city microcosms rather than standalone projects.
The event's successful run drawing crowds from Jaguarsban, Mohali, and Panchkula – signals strong momentum in Chandigarh's property market, particularly in New Chandigarh's fast-developing sectors.
