There is a huge potential for them in MIEZ. It will be a big relief for us,” said Dharmender Singh, a contractor-builder based at Aerocity Mohali, working on a lot of commercial projects in the Industrial Area, Sector 82, Mohali.

Ashish Mittal, also a Director with REG, said that every buyer of a plot in the planned industrial zone will also get numerous benefits under the Ministry of MSME that entitle them to collateral-free bank loans, one percent interest exemption on overdraft. In addition, a number of benefits can also be availed under the umbrella of invest Punjab.

What's more, the Punjab government is making all possible efforts to promote Greater Mohali as the second capital next to Chandigarh. Quality amenities are attracting people from Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu,   and Kashmir, and even from Leh to settle down in Greater Mohali, which has 73 Sectors. This will boost the growth of real estate which in turn will give an impetus to the building material industry, making MIEZ an even more lucrative option for building material traders. BW
