"These plots are located in the Industrial area phase 3 and the aim is to increase the industrial activities there as well. This will not give a boost to new industries in the city," a senior official of the administration said. In order to promote industrial activities in Industrial Area Phase III, the Chandigarh estate office has now decided to auction plots in the area.
The estate office, after a survey, has prepared a list of around 30 plots, which will be auctioned.
According to the industries department of the UT Administration, Phase I and II have been fully developed while Phase 3 is yet to be set up on an area spread over 153 acres.
