A Punjab high court has directed that compensation for land acquired in Mohali be set at ₹3.86 crore per acre, marking a significant increase.
The Punjab High Court issued an order today fixing the compensation for land acquired in Mohali at ₹3.86 crore per acre. The directive comes after petitions filed by landowners seeking a revision of the earlier payment rates.
Earlier compensation rates in the region were considerably lower, prompting concerns among farmers and property owners about fair market value. The court’s decision raises the payout to a level that aligns more closely with current land prices in the rapidly urbanising Mohali corridor.
Legal experts note that the ruling could set a precedent for other land‑acquisition cases across Punjab, potentially affecting ongoing infrastructure and real‑estate projects. Authorities are expected to notify the affected parties and initiate the revised payment process within the stipulated timeframe.
Stakeholders, including developers and municipal officials, have welcomed the clarity but caution that the higher outlay may impact project timelines and budgets. The court has ordered the state government to ensure timely disbursement to avoid further disputes.
