What is TDI Infratech and what is its connection with Mohali?

TDI Infratech is a pioneering real estate brand with a 30-year legacy, a presence across 10 cities and 5 states, and more than 100 delivered landmark projects that have redefined urban living in North India. Our integrated townships span 2,500 acres across 8 developments that function as self-sustainable cities. We at TDI blend affordability, sustainability, and community living seamlessly. Mohali, one of Punjab’s fastest-growing cosmopolitan hubs, has witnessed remarkable growth with its booming real estate sector, world-class infrastructure, and rising lifestyle aspirations. Recognising this potential, we have developed vibrant residential and commercial destinations here with two townships: TDI Smart City Mohali in Sectors 74A, 92, 116, 117, 118 & 119 (approximately 350 acres) and TDI City Mohali in Sectors 110 & 111 (approximately 200 acres), offering spaces that combine modern convenience with a secure, future-ready lifestyle.

Why did you choose Rajpura as the location for such a premium development?

Rajpura is often called the gateway to Punjab, offering unmatched connectivity to Chandigarh, Delhi, and key industrial hubs. With NH-7 access, proximity to Chandigarh Airport (approx. 35 km), and Chitkara University, it has immense potential as a residential, commercial, and industrial growth centre. Rajpura is also one of the new Industrial smart cities chosen under the National Industrial Corridor Development Program. This initiative will boost the economy, with the project allocated Rs1,367 crore and an investment potential of Rs7,500 crore. We saw in Rajpura not just land but opportunity—an opportunity to shape a new benchmark of urban living for Punjab, where families and businesses can grow together in a strategically positioned township.
