Chandigarh’s real estate auctions have become some of the most closely watched property events in North India. What once drew modest bids now routinely sees jaw-dropping figures, with reserve prices doubling or even tripling within minutes of the hammer falling.
Estate Office data reveals auction bids doubling and tripling reserve prices, stamp duty collections hitting new highs — yet repeated cancellations and slowing registrations warn that the city’s land rush is red hot but risky.
From residential plots in Sectors 37, 38 and 40 to marquee commercial and nursing home sites in 19-B, 33-C and 51, the numbers tell a story of staggering escalation. But behind the glitter is a growing shadow — repeated defaults by winning bidders, forcing cancellations and raising serious questions about speculative buying.

HOW THE ESCALATION UNFOLDED
2019: The turning point
In early 2019, residential sites in Sectors 32, 37 and 40 drew bids of Rs 1.7 crore to Rs4.5 crore, nearly double THE reserve prices. By November, a 1,014 sq. yd. site in Sector 33 sold for Rs 15.3 crore against a base of Rs 7.5 crore — more than twice the reserve and became a marker of things to come.
2022: Momentum turns into frenzy
In February–March, a 528 sq. yd. site in Sector 40-B fetched Rs 6.5 crore against a reserve of Rs 3.7 crore. Plots in Sectors 34 and 37 went for Rs 4.2-5.6 crore. Commercial sites also witnessed a surge. An SCO (Shop Cum Office) site in Sector 42 hit Rs 8.5 crore, over twice its Rs 3.7 crore base. Nursing home sites leapt higher — two plots in Sector 51 sold for Rs 8.5-9.3 crore, nearly 40 per cent above reserve. Later in the year, a 744 sq. yd. nursing home site in Sector 33-C fetched Rs 18.25 crore, 2.5 times its reserve.
2025: A record-breaking September
This year underlined how deep-pocketed the demand has become.
Three adjacent 503 sq. yd. plots in Sector 19-B sold for over Rs 22 crore each, nearly triple their Rs 7.4 crore reserve.
A 1,014 sq. yd. site in Sector 33-C set a record at Rs 33.41 crore, more than double its Rs 14.9 crore reserve.
The trend was similar even for smaller plots of 127–200 sq. yds. in Sectors 40 and 44, which sold for Rs 4–6.6 crore, far above their reserve.
On the commercial side, a double SCO site in Sector 8-C touched Rs 20 crore, while constructed booths in Sectors 44 and 45 crossed Rs 2.25 crore, originally reserved under Rs 80 lakh.
THE RECURRING WEAK SPOT: DEFAULTS
For every record bid, the Estate Office has had to grapple with bidders who vanish after winning. Beginning in 2019, multiple defaults were witnessed, including residential sites in Sectors 37 and 38 and booths in Sector 44. Defaults persisted in 2022, seen in Sectors 40-B, 37, 33 and the headline SCO 42 deal (Rs 8.5 crore), which was cancelled after non-payment.
In 2025, successful bidders for constructed booths in Sector 44 failed to deposit the mandatory 25 per cent, leaving officials to decide on forfeiture and re-auction.
Estate Officer Nishant Kumar Yadav admits the problem, saying, “The aggressive bidding reflects Chandigarh’s unique demand-supply equation. But repeated defaults show speculative players are entering auctions without liquidity. We are exploring stricter eligibility criteria so only serious buyers participate.”
A HIGH-WIRE ACT
In just five years, Chandigarh’s property auctions have gone from crores to tens of crores, turning a limited land supply into one of India’s hottest real estate theatres. But with registrations falling and defaults rising, the boom looks less like a straight climb and more like a high-wire act — dazzling, yes, but precariously balanced.
Quote — Unquote
Defaults being firmly addressed
Chandigarh’s planned character and limited land supply makes every auction a high-stakes contest, pushing bids to record highs and significantly boosting revenue. This reflects the strong faith property buyers have in the city’s transparent land governance. While defaults do occur, they are being firmly addressed — in this month’s auctions, for instance, of 13 residential properties, only one case of default was reported. Our priority is to ensure that Chandigarh’s property growth is shaped by serious, committed buyers rather than speculative players.
Scarcity of land: With almost no new sectors being carved out, every fresh plot is a prized rarity.
Planned city premium: Chandigarh’s reputation for regulated development keeps values resilient.
Rental yields: Commercial SCOs and booths deliver steady, high rental returns, making them magnets for investors.
Status symbol: A premium house or clinic in central sectors like 19-B or 33-C carries unmatched prestige.
THE CHANDIGARH TREND
Chandigarh’s property market continues to swing between euphoria and caution, reflecting the unique dynamics of a city with finite land and unmatched demand.
Auctions driving big numbers
Every UT Estate Office auction is treated as a high-stakes contest. The city’s planned character and scarcity of land push bidders to outdo one another. Officials stress that aggressive bidding underlines confidence in Chandigarh’s transparent governance framework.
Registrations show sustained demand
Parallel to auctions, the property registration trend paints a consistent picture of demand. Transactions remain buoyant, despite periodic policy changes and fluctuations in stamp duty. High-value transactions — especially in premium sectors — demonstrate that Chandigarh remains on investors’ radar.
Revenue keeps rising
For the UT Administration, auctions and registrations translate into robust revenue. Each crore earned from premiums, transfer charges, and stamp duty strengthens civic infrastructure funding. Recent figures indicate year-on-year growth, driven equally by record auction bids and steady registration numbers. Officials note while defaults impact short-term inflows, strict enforcement ensures minimal long-term loss
The road ahead
The twin drivers — high-value auctions and steady registrations — make Chandigarh one of the most resilient urban property markets in the region. The challenge lies in balancing investor appetite with safeguards that deter speculative defaults, ensuring that growth is anchored in genuine ownership rather than risky churn.
Nurpur Fort: Where legends sleep and heritage waits to awaken
High on a rugged cliff overlooking the Jabbar river in Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra district stands Nurpur Fort, a weathered sentinel of history. Built nearly a 1,000 years ago, this architectural marvel has witnessed dynasties rise and fall, conquests unfold and legends take shape.
Today, though its palace walls crumble and frescoes fade, the fort still whispers stories of courage, devotion and timeless artistry. Its intricate carvings of animals, deities, and royal figures remain as fragile echoes of its grandeur awaiting the restoration that could revive its legacy for generations to come.
Once called Dhameri, the town of Nurpur traces its royal lineage back to the 11th century, when Jeth Pal of the Tomar dynasty founded a kingdom here. The Pathania rulers who followed gave the region both prosperity and pride, none more than Raja Jagat Singh Pathania (1618–1646). His reign is still celebrated in folk ballads that praise his just rule:
History records that even the Mughal court could not resist Nurpur’s charm. Queen Nur Jahan, enchanted during a visit with Emperor Jahangir, expressed her desire to settle here. Local lore says that the clever Raja, unwilling to surrender his jewel of a valley, staged a crowd of goitre patients to convince her otherwise. The queen, alarmed, quickly changed her mind. The town, however, kept her name — Nurpur.
The fort’s walls are not only stone and mortar but also soaked in stories of resistance. Among them shines the tale of Wazir Ram Singh Pathania, a young prince who rose against British designs on Nurpur in 1848, nearly a decade before the First War of Independence. Betrayed during worship and imprisoned, he was sent to the dreaded ‘Kalapani’ and later to Rangoon. Tortured but unyielding, he died at just 24, a martyr for freedom.
His courage found voice in the ballads sung by Kaka Darves of Chowari, who, with his sarangi, stirred patriotic fervour by singing: “Koi Killa Pathania Zor Kadiya…” These songs, once carried on the winds of Nurpur, kept alive the flame of resistance in young hearts.
Tucked within Nurpur Fort lies one of its rarest jewels — the Sri Brijraj Swami Temple. What makes it extraordinary is its devotion not to Radha but to Meera Bai, alongside Lord Krishna. According to legend, the idol of Krishna, once worshipped by Meera herself, was brought from Chittor as a royal gift. Even today, its faded frescoes reflect a time when devotion and artistry were inseparable, binding the fort’s cultural and spiritual identity.
Today, the fort lies under the care of the Archaeological Survey of India, though much of it stands neglected. Crumbling bastions and weatherworn frescoes bear testimony to time’s slow decay. The descendants of Nurpur’s royal lineage, including Durgeshwar Singh Pathania, call for urgent restoration. They envision light-and-sound shows, revival of folk ballads, and cultural events to breathe life back into its corridors.
Rajeshwar Pathania, descendant of Wazir Ram Singh, sees Nurpur Fort not only as a historic monument but as a self-sustaining citadel of resilience. His plea is simple: let the fort’s legacy of valour and devotion become a beacon for both heritage lovers and travellers.
If given a chance, Nurpur Fort could rise again — not merely as ruins to be remembered, but as a living monument where history, culture and pride converge.
Builder-bank nexus: SC allows CBI to register six more FIRs
The Bench is dealing with petitions filed by several homebuyers, who booked flats under subvention schemes in various housing projects in Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram, and were allegedly forced by banks to pay EMIs despite not getting possession of flats
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the CBI to register six more regular cases (RCs) to probe into the alleged unholy nexus between banks and builders to dupe homebuyers in real estate projects in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mohali and Prayagraj.
A three-judge Bench led by Justice Surya Kant allowed the CBI to proceed as per law after Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati mentioned on behalf of the probe agency that it has completed preliminary enquiry (PE) in projects of various builders, except Supertech Ltd, falling outside Delhi-NCR in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mohali and Prayagraj.
The PE revealed commission of cognisable offences, Bhati said, adding the agency wanted to register six RCs and conduct search and seizure in the matter.
While allowing the CBI to go ahead with the registration of RCs, the Bench, which also included Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N Kotiswar Singh, asked the ASG to share relevant portions of the sealed cover CBI report with amicus curiae advocate Rajiv Jain.
Taking note of an “unholy nexus” between banks and builders resulting in duping of thousands of unsuspecting homebuyers in Delhi-NCR, the Supreme Court had on April 29 directed the CBI to register seven PEs against Supertech Ltd and other builders.
On July 22, it had allowed the CBI to register 22 cases to probe the “unholy nexus” between banks and developers to dupe homebuyers in Delhi-NCR and had granted six weeks to the agency to complete the PEs with regard to projects outside the NCR.
The Bench is dealing with petitions filed by several homebuyers, who booked flats under subvention schemes in various housing projects in Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram, and were allegedly forced by banks to pay EMIs despite not getting possession of flats.
Under the subvention scheme, banks disburse the sanctioned amount directly to the accounts of builders, who are then required to pay EMIs on the sanctioned loan amount until flats are handed over to homebuyers. After builders started defaulting on EMIs to banks, as per the tripartite agreement, the banks sought EMIs from the homebuyers.
Earlier, taking note of a CBI report recommending registration of seven PEs, the Bench had directed the UP and Haryana DGPs to give a list of DSPs, inspectors and constables to the agency to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) for the probe.
It had also ordered the CEOs/administrators of Greater Noida Authority, Noida Authority, secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, RERA (UP) and RERA (Haryana), the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the RBI to notify one nodal officer from among their senior-most officers to assist the SIT.
The Bench has been monitoring the progress of the probe on a monthly basis so that poor homebuyers “can be bailed out of the crisis”.
The amicus curiae had called Supertech Ltd the “main culprit” in defrauding homebuyers, whereas Corporation Bank advanced more than Rs 2,700 crore to builders through subvention schemes. Supertech Ltd alone had secured a loan amount of Rs 5,157.86 crore since 1998, he had submitted.
50 years on, Centre shows green signal to Rajpura-Mohali rail link
Will cut travel distance by 66 km; approval also for Ferozepur-Delhi Vande Bharat
In a major boost for Punjab’s economy, the BJP-led NDA government on Tuesday announced two major railway projects for the border state–the long sought Rajpura-Mohali rail link and a new Vande Bharat train between Ferozepur and Delhi.
The Rajpura-Mohali link, the demand for which was first raised in Parliament in 1976, will reduce travel distance by approximately 66 km and considerably cut the commuting duration between Patiala and Chandigarh. Currently, trains from Ludhiana have to pass through Ambala to reach Chandigarh.
All 13 districts of the Malwa region will also be connected to Chandigarh, easing traffic on the existing Rajpura-Ambala rail route and shortening the Ambala-Morinda link. Among available options, this route also requires the least agricultural land acquisition, ensuring minimal impact on farming activities. The 18-km link will cost Rs 443 crore, with the Centre estimating a two-year completion timeline.
Vande Bharat train will, meanwhile, ensure daily service (barring Wednesday) connecting the border district of Ferozepur to the national capital. The train will cover 486 km through Ferozepur Cantt, Bathinda, Patiala and Delhi route in six hours and 40 minutes.
The twin announcements were made by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu, with the Centre intimating Punjab about key sanctions.
Rajpura-Mohali link benefits
Patiala commuters currently take Rajpura-Ambala rail route to reach Chandigarh; or travel via Rajpura, Sirhind, Morinda and Mohali
New link to ease traffic on Rajpura-Ambala route
Will directly connect Mohali rail link to Sirhind-Rajpura rail link at Sarai Banjara and save people’s detours
Among available options, the new link requires the least agricultural land acquisition
Will enable faster movement of agricultural produce; reduce transportation costs for industries
Connects Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, shrine of Shaikh Ahmad al-Faruqi al-Sirhindi, Haveli of Todar Mal and Sanghol Museum
He said majority land to be acquired for the link did not fall in agricultural zones. “The Centre will offer adequate compensation. We urge farmer unions to help us realise the crucial project in time. It is a 50-year-old demand,” Bittu said, adding that while two years was the estimated project timeline, the Centre hoped to “definitely complete it within three years”.
The demand for the Rajpura-Mohali rail link was first made by Congress MPs Narain Chand Prashar and Raghunandan Lal in the Lok Sabha in March 1976.
The new Vande Bharat train will connect Ferozepur, Faridkot, Bathinda, Dhuri (CM Mann’s home segment), Patiala, Ambala Cantt, Kurukshetra, Panipat and Delhi. Asked when the Vande Bharat train will be operational, Bittu said, “Within days.”
“PM Narendra Modi normally tries to flag off projects of great importance himself. The train will be flagged off within days,” Bittu told this correspondent, indicating a possible flag-off (physical or virtual) by the PM himself.
Vaishnaw said the BJP government had raised the rail budget for Punjab around 25 times from Rs 225 crore between 2009 and 2014 to Rs 5,421 crore in 2025-26.
Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged brief small arms fire on September 20, 2025, along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Nowgam sector of Kupwara district. The firing started around 6:15 pm and continued intermittently for about an hour before ceasing, with no reported injuries on either side.
Army sources emphasised that this incident did not amount to a ceasefire violation, characterizing it as a limited and mutual exchange of fire rather than a full escalation. The Indian Army has not yet issued an official statement on this exchange.
This skirmish comes months after Operation Sindoor, launched by India on May 7, 2025, in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. During Operation Sindoor, India targeted Pakistani terror infrastructure, destroying several airbases and terror launch pads, while incurring minimal damage itself. The four-day conflict concluded quickly with a ceasefire agreement reached on May 10, 2025, brokered with significant involvement by the United States among other international actors.
Since May, there have been occasional tensions and reported ceasefire violation claims, but the Indian Army has consistently denied any unprovoked firing by Pakistan, as evidenced by official clarifications issued for reports in August 2025 regarding ceasefire breaches in the Poonch region.
Air Chief Marshal AP Singh recently stated that Operation Sindoor ended promptly as soon as its anti-terrorism objectives were met, emphasizing that prolonging conflict would impose a disproportionate cost. He explained that the operation achieved its goal of striking terror infrastructure and thus terminating the conflict early was a strategic decision: “Why should we carry on? Because any conflict has a lot of price which has to be paid”.
The brief exchange of fire on September 20 does not signal a major escalation but remains a localized, controlled incident within the ongoing tense but largely stable ceasefire environment established after Operation Sindoor in May 2025.
The Tribune Editorial: Fought during the 1965 war in the Khemkaran sector of Punjab, this clash is remembered as one of the largest tank battles since World War II.
HE opening of Punjab’s first military heritage site at Asal Uttar is a fitting tribute to a decisive moment in India’s history. Fought from September 8 to 10, 1965, in the Khemkaran sector of Punjab, this clash is remembered as one of the largest tank battles since World War II
How India Won the Largest Tank Battle in Asal Uttar?
The small village of Asal Uttar in Punjab, meaning ‘a befitting reply,’ witnessed an unparalleled display of valour by Indian troops against the Pakistani forces. This clash in Punjab thwarted Pakistan’s objective to seize Jammu and Kashmir and posed a threat to Delhi. Military historians view it as a pivotal moment in the conflict. Despite being heavily outnumbered and equipped with vintage tanks, our forces successfully crushed the enemy.
Against the backdrop of persistent attempts by Pakistan to annex Jammu and Kashmir, the 1965 war emerged as a response to India’s recovery from the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The conflict unfolded swiftly, with Pakistani forces launching “Op Desert Hawk” attacks in the Rann of Kutch and infiltrating Kashmir.

Pakistan’s two-phase strategy began with unrest in Kashmir, leading to “Op Gibraltar” in August 1965. Encouraged by China, infiltrators and the Pak Army sought to exploit the perceived discontent in the region. This was followed by “Op Grand Slam,” an attempt by the Pak Army to cross the international border.
Amid this tumult, the Battle Group of the Pakistan Army, comprising the 1st Armoured Division and 11th Infantry Division, crossed the International Border and captured the Indian town of Khem Karan. The gravity of the situation prompted the GOC, 4 Mountain Division, to order a strategic retreat, assuming a ‘Horse Shoe’ shaped defensive position with Asal Uttar, a few kilometres away from Khemkaran, as its focal point.

The Indian Army’s 18 RAJPUTANA RIFLES, 1/9 GORKHA RIFLES, and 4 GRENADIERS covered three axes to Khem Karan, providing depth to 1/9 Gorkha Rifles. In a well-planned tactical move, Indian troops breached the Rohi Canal at night, flooding the sugarcane fields. The following morning, the Pakistani tanks, primarily M47 and M48 Patton tanks, were lured into the trap set by the Indian defence.
As the marshy terrain slowed down the Pakistani tanks, many of which got stuck in the mud, the Indian Army’s 9 DECCAN HORSE, equipped with Shermans, engaged them with impunity, knocking off 11 Pakistani tanks. In total, ninety-seven Pakistani Patton’s, Shermans, and Chaffee’s were destroyed or captured, while the Indian Army lost only 10 tanks.
Despite a successful incursion by two Patton tanks, the Indian defence, cleverly positioned amidst crops, has destroyed 11 enemy tanks. The 4th Grenadiers, including the brave Company Quarter Master Havaldar Abdul Hamid, played a pivotal role, destroying four tanks and turning the tide. Havaldar Abdul Hamid, later awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his unmatched bravery during the Battle of Asal Uttar, was the soldier who took on advanced Patton tanks with his ordinary anti-tank jeep. On September 9, Hamid had destroyed two Patton tanks with the help of his jeep and had essentially become an eyesore for Pakistani soldiers.
On the third day, September 10th, however, Pakistan gained ground, breaching Indian defence lines. At 0800 hours, a battalion of Pakistani Armor supported by Patton tanks attacked the 4th Grenadier positions but was unable to locate the battalion’s defences. Nevertheless, they launched an intense artillery bombardment to soften the target, and by 0900 hours, the enemy tanks had penetrated the forward company positions. Hamid knew that it would all be over if the tanks weren’t taken care of. In a melee, Hamid saw a group of Patton’s heading toward the battalion defences. Without caring for his life, he moved out of the flank with his gun mounted on a jeep. Heavy shelling didn’t deter him, and he continued firing, knocking out three Patton tanks back-to-back before the fourth one killed him.
Abdul Hamid, The Patton Killer Hero of the Battle of Asal Uttar Havaldar Abdul Hamid, later won a Param Vir Chakra for his valour and courage Abdul Hamid’s valiant efforts delayed the enemy’s advance, but he ultimately sacrificed his life to destroy two more tanks in a face-off.

Simultaneously, Pakistani forces attempting to retreat towards the west faced fierce opposition from Indian cavalry and the Deccan Horse tanks, resulting in their entrapment. General Nasir was injured, and Brigadier Shami, the artillery commander, lost his life, signalling the end of Pakistan’s Khemka ran invasion.
The seventeen-day war caused thousands of casualties on both sides and witnessed the largest engagement of armoured vehicles and the largest tank battle since World War II. Hostilities between the two countries ended after a ceasefire was declared through UNSC Resolution 211 following a diplomatic intervention by the Soviet Union and the United States and the subsequent issuance of the Tashkent Declaration. Much of the war was fought by the countries’ land forces in Kashmir and along the border between India and Pakistan. This war saw the largest amassing of troops in Kashmir since the Partition of India in 1947, a number that was overshadowed only during the 2001–2002 military standoff between India and Pakistan.
The remnants of the destroyed tanks stood as a testament to Pakistan’s defeat, losing over 97 tanks, including 72 Patton tanks, leading to the establishment of Patton Nagar, commonly referred to as the graveyard of Patton tanks.
In the humble village of Assal-Uttar, amidst the carnage, the Indian Army showcased unwavering courage, proving that bravery prevails even in the face of adversity. Thus, on 8th September annually, commemorated as Asal Uttar Day, it marks the Battle Honour Day of Battalion 9 JAK Rifles (Rudra Shib Nabh), a crucial force in saving Khemkaran. After 59 years, it remains essential to remind future generations of the heroic valour displayed in this significant tank battle.
The indomitable spirit of Company Quartermaster Havildar Abdul Hamid, posthumously honoured with the Param Vir Chakra, is synonymous with the Battle of Asal Uttar. Additionally, the bravery of Lt Teja Singh Dhadwal, later Colonel, in the Rohi Nala battle, where he became the first Vir Chakra recipient of the 4 Mtn Division, further adds to the rich tapestry of heroism woven during this period.
The poignant reminder of this historic conflict is etched in the form of a grave and a war memorial located on the outskirts of Chima Village, along the Khemkaran-Bhikkiwind road in Tarn Taran district, Punjab. The Army’s mini-documentary on Abdul Hamid aptly categorizes the Grenadiers.
