Punjab’s New Stilt + 4 Floors Rule – A Major Shift for Real Estate in Zirakpur & Mohali

Punjab’s real estate landscape is set for a major transformation after the government officially approved the Stilt + 4 Floors (S+4) building rule in urban residential areas. This update allows developers and plot owners to construct one stilt parking level plus four residential floors, instead of the earlier limit of stilt + three.

This policy applies to residential plots of 250 sq. yards and above located on 40 ft or wider roads within approved colonies and licensed sectors. For buyers, investors, and builders in Zirakpur, Mohali, New Chandigarh, and Kharar, this rule brings both new opportunities and new market shifts.

✅ Why the Stilt + 4 Floors Rule Matters for Homebuyers & Investors

Whenever construction permissions expand, the real estate ecosystem changes quickly. Here’s what this policy means:

• More supply of independent floors → Better options for 2BHK & 3BHK units
• Higher rental potential due to increased housing inventory
• Better parking management because stilt level is now compulsory
• Increased land value for plots eligible under S+4 zoning
• More builder-led redevelopment projects in older localities

For investors, this means higher ROI potential on plots and S+4 builder floors — especially in growing micro-markets like Mohali Airport Road and VIP Road Zirakpur.

📍 Best Localities to Benefit from the New S+4 Policy

If you are planning to buy an independent floor or invest in plotted developments, these areas are expected to see the fastest impact:

🏡 What This Means for Chandigarh Tricity Real Estate Market

The Stilt + 4 policy is expected to increase housing supply and accelerate redevelopment. Real estate analysts believe this rule will:

• Push demand for builder floors instead of standalone houses
• Increase property values in plotted sectors where S+4 becomes permissible
• Attract NRI and rental-based investors, who prefer independent floors over high-rise apartments
• Encourage redevelopment of old 2-floor houses into 4-floor modern units

Similar policies in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR resulted in 25–40% increase in land value in eligible areas within 2–3 years — Tricity may follow the same trend.

🔎 Tips for Buyers & Investors Before Booking an S+4 Floor

✅ Check if the project is RERA registered and approved under the new policy
✅ Confirm road width of 40 ft+ — otherwise S+4 is not allowed
✅ Ensure proper stilt parking, not converted into rooms or shops
✅ Prefer GMADA/PUDA-approved colonies over unapproved colonies
✅ Use a trusted consultant (like Blue Square Infra) to verify documents and location potential
