ED Investigates GMADA Land-Use Changes Over Potential Rs 10,000 Crore Loss
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating alleged manipulation of reserve prices for unsold land by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA), which could have caused a potential loss of nearly Rs 10,000 crore to GMADA and the Punjab government. The probe includes scrutiny of recent land-use changes and masterplan amendments, such as converting commercial parcels in Sector 62 to mixed land use and re-planning a 30-acre parcel near Eco City-1. Officials note no conclusive evidence yet that the entire alleged loss occurred.
