About the District Panchkula

Panchkula is a well-planned city in the state of Haryana. Panchkula city was established in the year of 1995 as a district. It is a satellite city of the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The prestigious Chandimandir Cantonment Headquarters of the Indian Western Command is also located in Panchkula city. There are five towns in the district named Panchkula, Barwala, Pinjore, Kalka, and Raipur Rani. The only Hill station in Haryana called Morni is also in this District.

Panchkula and Mohali (in Punjab) are two satellite cities of Chandigarh. These three cities are collectively known as Chandigarh Tricity.

The word Panchkula is derived from a combination of two words panch (local) + kul (Sanskrit: कुला) (canal) which mean the city of five canals. Possibly referring to five irrigation canals which distribute water of ghaggar river from nada sahib to Mata Mansa Devi. The Nada canal has now been eroded by the river and most of the kul’s pass through the cantonment of Chandimandir towards Mansa Devi. The canals are a beautiful example of community property and are maintained by the villagers along the way, with distribution days decided. The canals were made by a ruler in the past, and followed the contours to take water to levels much higher than the river at the same spot.

An Emerging Real Estate Destination - 

Panchkula, a part of Tricity also comprising Chandigarh and Mohali, has become a cynosure owing to its natural beauty and promising business ecosystem. Situated in the hills of the Shivalik range, the city has gone through a rapid change, industrial as well as commercial, without affecting its natural surroundings. The transformation includes all the modern amenities of life, besides infrastructure development. All these factors create a conducive environment for investment in residential as well as commercial properties in the city.

With a healthy environment, availability of social as well as core infrastructure, and a burgeoning business ecosystem, Panchkula has all the necessary components to give a fillip to the development of real estate projects. Growth of nearby areas and connectivity with neighboring states are other features of the city, exhibiting immense possibilities. In short, Panchkula is a promising place for the development of residential and commercial properties.
