The primary reason is lack of growth of Industries in Punjab. None of the bigger Companies are willing to come to Punjab with their ventures. The Onus is on the state government to Promote Mohali as a city which can give benfits to the corporates and industries by giving them additional benefits. This would bring overall growth to the region thereby fuelling more Jobs, opportunities. Currently there is no such evident initiative visible. Hence the lack of interest.
The demand for apartment is very low in Mohali. Even an auction made by Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) for Purab Apartments scheme did not attract much home buyers.
It is too much costly. GAMADA Has looted people.Further, real estate Market is in rough phase. Speculators/investors are now shying away. Flats cannot be transferred for 5 years. Actual cost of 3 bed r,oom will be 80-85 lacs as interest 12 percent is to be paid with instalments
