Mohali Map: All Phases Explained (Phase 1 to Phase 11)
TL;DR: Mohali has 11 phases, numbered Phase 1 through Phase 11. Each phase has a corresponding sector number: Phase 1 is Sector 55, Phase 7 is Sector 61, and so on up to Phase 11 at Sector 65. Areas beyond Sector 65, like Sectors 68, 85, 88, and 89, are standalone sectors with no phase name. Phase 3A, 3B1, and 3B2 are sub-phases that confuse most people. This guide explains every phase, why the numbering works the way it does, and what it means if you are buying property in Mohali.
What Happens When You Search Mohali on the Map
When you study a Mohali phases map or search for the city on Google Maps, you will see phase names and sector names used interchangeably. A listing might say "Phase 7, Sector 61" or just "Phase 7" or just "Sector 61." They all mean the same location.
Listings in areas like Sector 68 or Sector 70 will never have a phase name. If a listing says "Phase 7, Sector 70," that is incorrect. Sector 70 is adjacent to Phase 7 but is not part of it. This matters when verifying a property address before visiting.
The Mohali government's own STD and PIN code reference confirms the distinction. Mohali Phase 1 carries PIN code 160055. Sector 68 carries PIN code 160062. Different administrative identities, even though they are part of the same city.
About This Map
The map used on this page was created by Reddit user u/Suspicious_Draw4045 and posted on r/Chandigarh. The original post can be found at reddit.com/r/Chandigarh/comments/1sdmtsb.
The post went viral because it was the first time anyone had created a clear visual that showed all Mohali phases alongside their sector numbers in a single image. The map reached over 73,000 members of the r/Chandigarh community and prompted the question that everyone had been asking: why are there phases and sectors, and where does one end and the other begin?

What the Mohali Map Actually Shows
When you study a Mohali sector map or the city's overall phase layout, you will notice two types of areas.
The first type has a phase name. Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3A, Phase 3B1, Phase 3B2, Phase 4, Phase 5, Phase 6, Phase 7, Phase 8, Phase 9, Phase 10, Phase 11. These are the planned residential and mixed-use phases developed under the original urban planning framework for SAS Nagar. Each phase also has a sector number. Phase 1 is Sector 55. Phase 7 is Sector 61. The phase name and the sector number refer to the same geographic area.
The second type has only a sector number. Sectors 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 85, 88, 89, and beyond. These areas have no phase designation. They are newer development zones that came after the original phase system was drawn up.
This is the source of almost every confusion people have about Mohali. If you live in Sector 68, people from Chandigarh will ask "which phase are you in?" The honest answer is you are not in a phase. You are in a sector.

Why Mohali Has Phases and Sectors: The Planning History
This question comes up every time someone new arrives in Mohali. Why does this city have both phases and sectors when Chandigarh only has sectors?
The answer is in how Mohali was built.
Mohali, officially Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (SAS Nagar), was developed in planned phases under PUDA, the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority. The city grew from the Chandigarh side inward. Each development block was called a phase. The phases ran from Phase 1 to Phase 11 and were assigned corresponding sector numbers (Sectors 53 to 65) during this period.
In August 2006, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) was constituted under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, via notification no. 13/52/2006-1HG2/7443. GMADA took over urban planning for SAS Nagar and expanded its jurisdiction to include Zirakpur, Kharar, Derabassi, Banur, Mullanpur, and surrounding areas.
After GMADA took charge, new development zones were numbered directly as sectors: Sector 66, 67, 68, and onwards. The phase naming system was not continued. This is why there is no Phase 12 in Mohali. The areas that would have become Phase 12 were instead designated as sectors under the expanded GMADA framework.
So when you see Sector 85, Sector 88, or Sector 89 on the map, those are GMADA-era sectors. Not phases. They are part of the same city but were developed under a different planning system.
Expert insight from Realty Holding and Management Consultants: Legally and practically speaking, there is actually no difference for a buyer. In official GMADA records and documentation, the colloquial phase names (like Phase 1, Phase 7, or Phase 10) are never used. Legally, GMADA and government sub-registrar offices only recognize and utilize official sector numbers (like Sector 55, Sector 61, or Sector 64). The phase names are purely popular terms used by the public and in local advertisements, but legally, all transactions, registry deeds, and allocations are processed using the sector numbers.
Why Phases Stop at 11: The Planning Timeline
Phases 1 to 11 are planned and developed starting from the Chandigarh border inward, corresponding to Sectors 53 to 65.
GMADA is officially constituted under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act. Planning shifts to a regional scale.
New expansion zones are designated strictly as Sectors 66+ (e.g., Sector 85, 88, 89). The PUDA "phase" naming system is permanently retired.
Phase 3A, Phase 3B1, and Phase 3B2: What Is the Difference?
This is the most asked question about the Mohali map. Three sub-phases that share the number 3. Two of them share the same sector number. And they are not even next to each other on the map.
Here is how to understand it.
Phase 3A is Sector 53. It sits in the northwest corner of Mohali, right on the border with Chandigarh Sectors 51 and 52. It was developed early, alongside Phase 1 and Phase 2. When you look at the map, Phase 3A is close to Phase 2 geographically.
Phase 3B1 and Phase 3B2 are both part of Sector 60. They were developed later as sub-divisions of the Phase 3 planning block but are located much further east on the map, adjacent to Phase 5 and Phase 7. This is why the map looks inconsistent. Phase 3A is in the northwest. Phase 3B1 and 3B2 are in the centre-east. Same parent phase number, very different locations.
The difference between 3B1 and 3B2 is simpler. They share Sector 60 but are distinct planning sub-areas within that sector. Phase 3B1 rates at 4.3 out of 5 for connectivity on property portals. Phase 3B2 has more property inventory and is well known for its food market culture. Both are legitimate residential areas with different characters.
From the ground: Realty Holding and Management Consultants: Phase 3B1 surprises buyers when they visit. On paper, it sounds like a mid-city area. But when you are standing there, the Chandigarh border is within walking distance. You can see it. That proximity to Chandigarh changes how people feel about the area once they experience it in person. It does not feel like "Mohali" in the way that Phase 9 or Phase 11 does. It feels like it is right at the edge of Chandigarh.
How Location on the Map Affects Property Prices
Where a phase sits on the Mohali map directly affects what you pay and what kind of buyer or tenant you attract.
The Chandigarh side: Phase 1, 2, and 3A
Phase 1 (Sector 55), Phase 2 (Sector 54), and Phase 3A (Sector 53) sit on the northwest edge of Mohali, directly bordering Chandigarh. These are some of the most transacted phases in Mohali. Buyers who want to be in or near Chandigarh, but find Chandigarh property out of reach, consistently come to these phases first. You can browse our verified properties in Mohali to find active listings in these premium residential zones.
However, there is a trade-off. Phase 1 and Phase 2 are adjacent to Mohali's industrial area. That industrial belt sits between these phases and Chandigarh's sectors. If you are buying for end-use and value greenery and pure residential surroundings, this is worth knowing before you visit.
Transaction insight from Realty Holding and Management Consultants: When evaluating older phases, it is less about the absolute number of transactions and more about premium status and appreciation potential. The standout locations are Phases 1, 2, 5, and 7. These have established themselves as the premium residential core of Mohali. Due to their Chandigarh-adjacent positioning, strong community planning, and high-demand commercial markets, these phases have commanded the highest price appreciation over the past decade.
Phase 3B1: The Hidden Chandigarh-Adjacent Phase
Most buyers focus on Phase 1 and 2 when they want proximity to Chandigarh. Phase 3B1 is often overlooked. But as noted above, it shares the same adjacency. The difference is that Phase 3B1 is in a purely residential pocket. The feel on the ground is different from Phase 1 and 2. Worth a visit before you decide.
Phase 7 and Phase 10: The Premium Residential Core
Phase 7 (Sector 61) is consistently the most searched and most transacted phase in Mohali. It is a mature residential area with over 600 properties listed on property portals at any given time. Average rentals run between Rs 22,500 and Rs 30,900 per month for mid-range units. Families who want a strong community, established markets, and school access come here.
Phase 10 (Sector 64) is the premium choice. It rates 4.2 out of 5 for connectivity and 4.0 for safety, the highest combined rating among all Mohali phases. It draws premium buyers who want a residential environment without the density of Phase 7.
The price difference between the two is significant. Phase 7 has more supply and more options across budgets. Phase 10 has less supply and skews toward larger, more expensive properties. For a deep dive into current transactional rates and GMADA auction values across these sectors, see our updated Mohali Property Rates Guide.
Phase 11 and the Airport Road Side
Phase 11 (Sector 65) is the newest phase and sits at the opposite end of the map from Phase 1. It is close to the Airport Road corridor and the areas being developed under GMADA's 2031 to 2050 Master Plan, including the Aerotropolis project near Chandigarh International Airport. If you are interested in land or plot investments along this growth axis, you can view our listings of licensed land and plots in Mohali.
Investment perspective from Realty Holding and Management Consultants: The early single-digit phases, specifically Phases 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, have enjoyed excellent, highly stable long-term appreciation. These areas were designed under an urban planning ethos that closely mirrors Chandigarh itself. They feature broad roads, ample green belts, dedicated sector-wise markets, and low-density layouts. Buyers consistently pay a premium to live here because the lifestyle matches Chandigarh's planned order. In contrast, newer airport-adjacent developments (Phases 10, 11, and Sector 82+) derive their value from modern commercial growth, wider multi-lane corridors, and future regional transit links.
Phase 8 and Phase 9: The Non-Residential Phases
Not every phase in Mohali is primarily residential. Phase 8 and Phase 9 are worth understanding separately.
Phase 8, Sector 62 is the administrative heart of Mohali. Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) headquarters is here. Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA) headquarters is here. The Regional Transport Authority is here. Fortis Healthcare hospital is here. Gurdwara Amb Sahib, a historical shrine connected to Guru Har Rai, is located in this phase. The Mohali Bus Stand was also here before it was relocated. Phase 8 is not a quiet residential pocket. It is a busy, institutional area.
Phase 9, Sector 63 is famous for sports. Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium, the ground where India plays international cricket, is here. The International Hockey Stadium is here. The Department of Sports complex is here. PCA headquarters is located in Phase 9. If you are buying near Phase 9, expect the character of the area to reflect that, active, sports-oriented, and busier on match days.
Phases vs New Sectors: What Buyers and Long-Term Residents Actually Think
Sectors 85, 88, and 89 have seen significant development in the last decade. Many new projects, gated communities, and investor-focused properties sit in these areas. Yet the conversation about them is different from the conversation about the phases.
On the ground from Realty Holding and Management Consultants: Buyers who want to be in or near Chandigarh do not look at Sectors 85, 88, or 89. That is not their market. The people coming to those sectors are new entrants to Mohali, people relocating for work or lifestyle, and investors who are looking at appreciation potential and new construction. The phases attract a different kind of buyer. Someone who knows Mohali, has lived here or has family here, and wants to be in a settled, established neighbourhood. The mindset is different. The demand drivers are different.
This distinction matters when you are deciding where to buy. If you are buying for end-use and you want an established community, go to the phases. If you are buying for appreciation or rental yield on a newer property with modern amenities, the new sectors have more options.
Buyer Type Recommendations by Location
If daily commuting to Chandigarh is your primary driver, look first at Phase 1, Phase 2, or Phase 3B1.
If you want mature schools, parks, and settled neighborhoods, prioritize Phase 7 or Phase 10.
If budget is key but you want strong commercial access and food markets, look at Phase 3B2 or Phase 5.
If you are relocating for IT jobs, seek modern club amenities, or want land appreciation, focus on Sectors 85, 88, and 89.
Phase 6: The Entry Point from Punjab
Phase 6 (Sector 56) deserves a separate mention. It is the first phase you reach when entering Mohali from the Punjab side, whether from Kharar, Ludhiana, or anywhere north. All Punjab buses stop here.
Verka Milk Plant is located in Phase 6. So is the Dara Studio, historically associated with the late wrestler and actor Dara Singh. Max Super Speciality Hospital and Civil Hospital Mohali are both in this phase. There is a marriage palace belt here as well.
Phase 6 is not a premium residential phase. It is a practical, well-connected area with good social infrastructure. For buyers who rely on public transport or who want hospital proximity, it is worth considering.
Key Takeaways
- All phases of Mohali correspond to specific sector numbers, ranging from Sector 53 (Phase 3A) to Sector 65 (Phase 11).
- Sectors 66 and above, including Sectors 68, 85, 88, and 89, are not phases. They are standalone sectors developed under GMADA after 2006.
- There is no Phase 12. GMADA replaced the phase naming system with direct sector numbers after it was constituted in August 2006.
- Phase 3A is near Chandigarh (Sector 53). Phase 3B1 and 3B2 are in Sector 60 but are in a completely different part of the map.
- Phase 3B1 is walking distance from the Chandigarh border. Most buyers do not realise this until they visit.
- Phases 1 and 2 are adjacent to Chandigarh but also adjacent to Mohali's industrial area. Phase 10 and 11 are in purely residential surroundings closer to the airport.
- Phase 7 is the most transacted residential phase in Mohali. Phase 10 is the most premium.
- Buyers who want Chandigarh proximity gravitate to the phases. New entrants and investors looking at newer construction tend to go to Sectors 85, 88, and 89.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mohali Phases
What sector is Phase 7 in Mohali?
Phase 7 in Mohali is located in Sector 61. The two names refer to the same area and are used interchangeably on property listings and addresses.
What sector is Phase 10 in Mohali?
Phase 10 in Mohali is located in Sector 64. It is one of the premium residential phases in the city.
Is Sector 68 a phase in Mohali?
No. Sector 68 is a standalone sector with no phase designation. Mohali's phase system only covers Sectors 53 to 65, corresponding to Phases 1 through 11. Sectors numbered 66 and above are direct sector designations under GMADA and were never assigned phase names.
Why is there no Phase 12 in Mohali?
Mohali was originally planned in 11 phases under PUDA before GMADA was constituted in August 2006. After GMADA took charge, new development areas were assigned direct sector numbers rather than continuing the phase naming system. So the area that might have been Phase 12 was instead developed as Sectors 66, 67, 68, and beyond.
What is the difference between Phase 3B1 and Phase 3B2?
Both Phase 3B1 and Phase 3B2 fall within Sector 60 of Mohali but are distinct planning sub-areas. Phase 3B1 is known for its proximity to the Chandigarh border, with the boundary visible at walking distance. Phase 3B2 is well known for its food market culture and has more property inventory. Both are established residential areas with different characters and price points.
What is the difference between Phase 3A and Phase 3B?
Phase 3A (Sector 53) is located in the northwest of Mohali, right on the Chandigarh border near Chandigarh Sectors 51 and 52. Phase 3B1 and 3B2 (both in Sector 60) are located further east, adjacent to Phase 5 and Phase 7. They share the parent phase number 3 but are in completely different parts of the map.
What does GMADA stand for?
GMADA stands for Greater Mohali Area Development Authority. It was constituted on 14 August 2006 under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. GMADA governs planned development across SAS Nagar and surrounding areas including Zirakpur, Kharar, Derabassi, Banur, Mullanpur, and Roopnagar.

Mohali's official name is Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, commonly abbreviated as SAS Nagar. It is named after Sahibzada Ajit Singh, the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Which phase of Mohali is closest to Chandigarh?
Phase 1 (Sector 55), Phase 2 (Sector 54), Phase 3A (Sector 53), and Phase 3B1 (Sector 60) are the closest phases to Chandigarh. Phase 3B1 in particular sits at walking distance from the Chandigarh border, though this surprises most buyers who expect it to feel more removed.
Which phase of Mohali is best to buy property in?
There is no single best phase. It depends on what you need. Phase 7 and Phase 10 are the most established residential choices for family end-use. Phase 1, 2, and 3B1 suit buyers who want Chandigarh proximity. Phase 3B2 and Phase 5 suit budget-conscious buyers. Phase 11 and Airport Road sectors suit investors with a longer horizon. The right answer depends on your budget, timeline, and reason for buying.
