Mohali

Mohali, officially Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar and since 2012 also called Ajitgarh, is a planned city in the Mohali district of Punjab, India. It lies south-west of Chandigarh and the two are contiguous, divided only by the administrative boundary between Punjab and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The township was laid out from 1975 as an extension of Chandigarh's sector-based grid, with its first eleven sectors known as Phases. It is the headquarters of its district, one of the six municipal corporations of the state and, with Panchkula, a satellite of Chandigarh in the region called the Chandigarh Tricity. The city has grown quickly as an information technology hub and also has a manufacturing economy, a cricket stadium and an international airport nearby. Its 2011 census urban agglomeration population was 176,152.
