Chandigarh to Hold Fresh E-Auction for 23 SCO Sites at Sector 39 Mandi
The Chandigarh State Agricultural Marketing Board will hold a fresh e-auction for 23 shop-cum-office (SCO) sites at the new Sector 39 mandi starting September 1. The reserve price per site has increased by about 43%, from Rs 3.70 crore to Rs 5.30 crore, reflecting new collector rates. The sites, each about 100.23 square meters, will be leased, with an earnest money deposit of Rs 10.61 lakh per site. The auction follows a Supreme Court clearance of previous allotments stalled since March 2025.
