Mohali–Sirhind Highway NH-205AG: Route, Connectivity & Property Impact
Construction of the 27.37 km Mohali–Sirhind greenfield highway is complete. Here’s exactly what’s built, what’s still pending inside Mohali, and the questions worth asking before you treat “highway ke paas” as an investment thesis.
⚡ Quick Answer
NH-205AG is a 27.37 km, six-lane greenfield highway connecting Bhagomajra (near Mohali) to Saidpura village near Sirhind, built under Bharatmala Pariyojana. Construction is complete as of September 2026 and it is expected to open to traffic by end of that month, cutting the Mohali–Sirhind drive to roughly 25–30 minutes. It is the first package of a planned 135 km Chandigarh–Sirhind–Sehna corridor. The connector into Mohali’s internal Sectors 106–107 has not yet started construction — a detail every nearby property buyer should know before assuming full connectivity exists today.
📋 What’s in This Guide
This piece is built from the original Punjabi Tribune report on the Mohali–Sirhind highway (September 15, 2026), cross-checked against NHAI records, a 2024 Rajya Sabha reply, and prior Tribune coverage of the same NHAI project — with every discrepancy between sources flagged, not silently resolved.
The Verified Route
NH-205AG is not the same project as NH-205A (the Kharar–Banur–Tepla “Ambala-Chandigarh Greenfield” corridor covered in our separate Banur–Rajpura Highway Corridor guide) — the near-identical numbering causes genuine confusion, so it’s worth keeping these two Bharatmala projects distinct in your own notes.
Source: Punjabi Tribune (Sept 15, 2026); cross-checked against Tribune’s NHAI-sourced report on the wider Chandigarh–Sirhind–Sehna Greenfield Expressway.
This 27.37 km stretch is officially Package 1 of a much larger, planned 135 km Chandigarh (Tricity)–Sirhind–Sehna (Barnala) Greenfield Expressway under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-1, split into four packages: Mohali–Sirhind (27.37 km), Sirhind–Malerkotla (51.83 km), Malerkotla–Sangrur (33.30 km), and Sangrur–Barnala (21.79 km). Only the first package — the one this article covers — is reported complete. The Punjabi Tribune report also notes the eventual plan extends the corridor onward to Shehna (Barnala), linking Mansa and Bathinda directly to Mohali once later phases are built.
Completed vs Under Construction vs Proposed
A buyer should never pay today’s price based entirely on tomorrow’s infrastructure promise. Here’s exactly what’s confirmed at each stage:
| Infrastructure | Status | Source | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohali–Sirhind main carriageway (27.37 km, 6-lane) | 🟢 Completed | Punjabi Tribune, Sept 2026 | The core corridor is physically built and tested |
| Opening to public traffic | 🟡 Expected end-Sept 2026 | Punjabi Tribune (contractor statement) | Not yet open as of the report date — a projection, not a confirmed date |
| Toll plaza (Machhli Kalan + 2 service-road points) | 🟢 Installed | Punjabi Tribune | Confirms tolling will apply once operational |
| Sector 106–107 internal Mohali connector (~1.5–2 km) | 🔴 Not started | Punjabi Tribune, Sept 15, 2026 | Land acquired months ago, but construction hasn’t begun — full Mohali-sector access is not yet a reality |
| Sirhind–Malerkotla, Malerkotla–Sangrur, Sangrur–Barnala packages | 🔵 Planned / later phases | Tribune (NHAI-sourced), 2024 | Not part of what’s complete today — don’t treat the full 135 km vision as already delivered |
| 4 major bridges, 2 flyovers, 18 underpasses, 2 rail bridges, ~23 km service roads | 🟢 Reported complete | Punjabi Tribune only | Single-source claim — not independently cross-verified against a government tender document |
Mohali Sector 106–107 Connection — Verified Status
This is one of the most important facts for anyone evaluating property near these sectors specifically for highway access — the highway itself being complete does not mean the internal Mohali connection is complete. Treat this as a “watch and verify” item, not a settled fact, until construction visibly begins.

💬 Get a Property ShortlistWhat Could the Mohali–Sirhind Highway Mean for Property?
Infrastructure is a reason to research — not a reason to rush. Here’s the honest split:
Potential Positives
- Better connectivity between Mohali/Chandigarh/Panchkula and the Fatehgarh Sahib–Sirhind belt
- Reduced travel time (reported 25–30 minutes Mohali to Sirhind, once open)
- Wider commuter catchment along the corridor
- Potential commercial activity at entry/exit points (Jhanjeri, Hansali Sahib, Daulatpur, Machhli Kalan)
- Improved regional integration toward NH-44 and, eventually, the Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway
- Possible logistics and business interest given the Chandigarh Airport connectivity angle NHAI has cited
What It Does NOT Guarantee
- Price appreciation of any specific plot or project
- Rental demand materialising on any particular timeline
- Commercial footfall or business success at any specific location
- Resale liquidity — a highway doesn’t create buyers by itself
- Residential demand at every point along the corridor equally
- Land-use conversion or approval for any specific parcel
- Any specific return on investment
“Highway ke paas hona” is not enough. A sound property decision still needs Location + Access + Approvals + Demand + Price + Exit — all six, not just proximity to a road.

NH-205AG Property Investment Scorecard
This scores the factors a buyer should verify — it does not score individual locations, since that requires site-specific evidence this article cannot provide for every parcel.
Comparing the Belts Along the Corridor
| Area | Highway Connection | Existing Development | Investor Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohali (Sectors 106–107 side) | Corridor complete; internal connector not started | Established Mohali sectors nearby | Suitable for those comfortable waiting on the connector; verify its progress before assuming full highway access |
| Landran–Banur belt | Directly on the route | Mixed — established pockets and open land | Needs caution on land-use classification and title before any land purchase |
| Jhanjeri / Hansali Sahib / Daulatpur | Direct entry/exit points per Punjabi Tribune | Emerging | Better suited for longer-horizon, higher-risk-tolerance buyers who verify ground reality first |
| Sirhind / Fatehgarh Sahib side | Corridor terminus, connects to NH-44 | Established town, lower current price base | Suitable for end-use or long-horizon plays; verify local zoning and demand independently |
| Rajpura (via NH-44 from Sirhind) | Indirect — reached via NH-44, not NH-205AG directly | Established industrial/residential activity | Benefits from the wider network effect rather than this specific highway alone |
Property Buyer Scenarios
1. Buying agricultural land because a highway is nearby
Verify land-use classification, CLU status if you plan to develop, actual distance from a confirmed entry/exit point, and whether any part of the parcel falls within a road-widening or future acquisition zone.2. Buying a plotted project marketed as “highway connected”
Confirm the developer’s claimed access point against the actual completed service road — not the brochure map — and check RERA registration and approved layout.3. Buying commercial property expecting highway traffic
Analyse actual expected traffic volume once the highway opens, realistic footfall at that specific point (not the whole corridor), and comparable commercial rents nearby today.4. Buying residential property expecting future appreciation
Separate the corridor’s genuine connectivity improvement from any seller’s specific price-appreciation promise — verify comparable resale transactions, not projections.5. Already owning land near the corridor
Monitor the Sector 106–107 connector’s construction start, any further NHAI/GMADA acquisition notices nearby, and keep documentation updated regardless of highway news.What We Know vs What We Cannot Guarantee
| Fact | Verified Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Length: 27.37 km | Verified | Punjabi Tribune (~27.5 km) + NHAI-sourced Tribune report + 2024 Rajya Sabha reply (all consistent) |
| NH-205AG, six-lane, greenfield | Verified | Punjabi Tribune; Tribune’s NHAI-sourced coverage confirms “Greenfield Alignment” |
| Route: Bhagomajra → Saidpura (Sirhind) | Verified | Consistent across Punjabi Tribune and Tribune’s NHAI-sourced report |
| Project cost | Discrepancy — see note below | Punjabi Tribune (Sept 2026): ~₹1,500 crore. 2024 Rajya Sabha reply: ₹1,237.65 crore for the Sirhind–Mohali package |
| Construction completed | Reported complete | Punjabi Tribune, Sept 15, 2026 (contractor statement, road tested) |
| Opening date | Expected end-Sept 2026 — not confirmed | Punjabi Tribune, based on contractor’s stated expectation |
| Travel time (25–30 min Mohali–Sirhind) | Reported estimate | Punjabi Tribune — not independently verified |
| Bridges/flyovers/underpasses count | Single-source | Punjabi Tribune only — not cross-verified against a government document |
| Toll plaza at Machhli Kalan | Verified | Punjabi Tribune |
| Sector 106–107 connector status | Verified — not started | Punjabi Tribune, Sept 15, 2026 |
| Part of 135 km Chandigarh–Sirhind–Sehna corridor | Verified | Tribune’s NHAI-sourced report on the SYL canal bridge case |
| Property price impact | Potential / Not Guaranteed | General infrastructure-demand principle — not a specific prediction |
On the cost discrepancy: Punjabi Tribune’s September 2026 report cites approximately ₹1,500 crore; the 2024 Parliamentary reply records ₹1,237.65 crore for the same Sirhind–Mohali package. The gap may reflect a different scope, a cost revision over two years, or rounding in the news report — we are not resolving it in either direction. If the exact figure matters to your decision, verify directly with NHAI.

What is NH-205AG?
NH-205AG is a 27.37 km, six-lane greenfield national highway connecting Bhagomajra (near Mohali) to Saidpura village near Sirhind, built under Bharatmala Pariyojana as the first package of a planned 135 km Chandigarh–Sirhind–Sehna corridor.
How long is the Mohali–Sirhind Highway?
27.37 km, consistent across the Punjabi Tribune report and a 2024 government parliamentary reply.
Where does it start and end?
It starts at Bhagomajra village in SAS Nagar (Mohali) district, connecting to NH-205A, and ends at Saidpura village near Sirhind, connecting to NH-44.
When will it open?
Per the Punjabi Tribune report of September 15, 2026, the contractor expected it to open to traffic by the end of September 2026 — this is a stated expectation, not a confirmed date.
Is construction completed?
The main 27.37 km carriageway is reported complete and tested as of mid-September 2026, though the internal Mohali Sector 106–107 connector has not started construction.
How does it connect to Rajpura/Ambala?
At Sirhind, NH-205AG joins NH-44, which continues toward Rajpura and Ambala.
Does it connect directly to Mohali’s internal sectors?
Not yet. The road connecting NH-205AG to Sectors 106–107 inside Mohali has had its land acquired, but construction had not started as of the September 2026 report.
Will it reduce travel time?
Per the Punjabi Tribune report, the Mohali-to-Sirhind drive is expected to take roughly 25–30 minutes once the highway opens — a reported estimate, not independently verified.
Is there a toll?
Yes — a toll plaza has been set up near Machhli Kalan, with two additional toll points on service roads for vehicles exiting the corridor.
Will property prices increase because of this highway?
Better connectivity is a genuine positive factor for accessibility and demand, but it does not guarantee price appreciation for any specific property — that depends on many additional, site-specific factors.
Is the Landran-Banur belt likely to benefit?
It sits directly on the route and could see improved accessibility, but existing development is mixed — land-use classification and title should be verified independently before any purchase.
Should I buy land near the highway?
That depends entirely on your specific purpose, budget, and risk tolerance — this article’s 15-point checklist is designed to help you evaluate a specific parcel rather than the corridor in general.
What should I check before buying?
At minimum: exact distance from a confirmed entry/exit point, legal access, land-use classification, title, encumbrances, and realistic current demand — not just proximity to the highway.
Does highway proximity guarantee appreciation?
No. Infrastructure can be a positive factor, but it does not guarantee appreciation, rental demand, or resale liquidity for any individual property.
