Akshay Taneja, Managing Director of TDI Infratech, represents the new wave of leadership in Punjab’s real estate sector. Blending legacy with fresh vision, he focuses on creating spaces that go beyond buildings to foster community and trust. In this conversation with Urban Melange, he talks about TDI’s journey, its landmark projects, and the future he envisions for Punjab.
What is TDI Infratech and what is its connection with Mohali?
TDI Infratech is a pioneering real estate brand with a 30-year legacy, presence across 10 cities and 6 states, and 100+ landmark projects that have redefined urban living. With over 75,000 buildings delivered and a development potential of 150 million sq. ft., TDI blends luxury, sustainability, and community living.
Mohali, one of Punjab’s fastest-growing cosmopolitan hubs, has seen remarkable growth with its booming real estate sector, world-class infrastructure, and rising lifestyle aspirations. Recognising this potential, TDI has created vibrant residential and commercial destinations here with two townships—TDI Smart City Mohali in Sectors 74A, 92, 116, 117, 118 & 119 (approx. 350 acres) and TDI City Mohali in Sectors 110 & 111—offering spaces that combine modern convenience with a secure, future-ready lifestyle.
Why did you choose Rajpura as the location for such a premium development?
Rajpura is often called the gateway to Punjab, offering unmatched connectivity to Chandigarh, Delhi, and key industrial hubs. With NH-7 access, proximity to Chandigarh Airport (approx. 35 km), and Chitkara University, it has immense potential as a residential, commercial, and industrial growth centre. Rajpura is also one of the new Industrial smart cities chosen under the National Industrial Corridor Development Program. This initiative will boost the economy, with the project allocated ₹1,367 crore and an investment potential of ₹7,500 crore. We saw in Rajpura not just land but opportunity—an opportunity to shape a new benchmark of urban living for Punjab, where families and businesses can grow together in a strategically positioned township.
What inspired the idea behind Connaught Estate in Rajpura?
The inspiration behind Connaught Estate was simple yet profound: to create a township that balances modern aspirations with timeless values of security, trust, and community. Families today look beyond just homes; they seek an ecosystem where safety, connectivity, green living, and social belonging come together. Connaught Estate Rajpura is our response to that vision—a thoughtfully planned township that safeguards families while empowering businesses and fostering community ties.
