Also known as prachar gaddi (ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਗੱਡੀ), publicity van, LED video van & mobile hoarding in Mohali (ਮੋਹਾਲੀ / मोहाली)
Mohali at a Glance: City Intelligence Snapshot
Why Mohali rewards vehicle advertising more than most Punjab cities. Here are the key signals:
| Signal | What it means for van advertising in Mohali |
|---|---|
| Identity: SAS Nagar | Officially Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar; the Punjab node of the Chandigarh tricity and Punjab's most modern, planned, sector-based city |
| Population ~3.24 lakh (tehsil, 2011) | Much larger now with the sectoral boom; a genuine tricity audience rather than a small-town route |
| Literacy 86.24% | A very high, affluent, educated and English-fluent readership, the opposite of agrarian Punjab |
| Anchor sectors | IT / ITeS (IT City, Quark SEZ, Infosys), real estate and construction, premium education, healthcare, aviation and cricket events |
| Growth pocket | Aerocity and the new GMADA sectors near the airport; premium land values (Sector 66 around ₹16,500 per sq ft) |
| Transport | Chandigarh International Airport (IXC, physically in Mohali), Airport Road, Kharar-Landran road, NH-5 (old NH-21) corridor |
| Vehicle series | PB-65 (RTO office in Sector 76); the plates you will see on our Mohali vans |
Mohali's economy by sector: a premium advertiser base
- Services & IT 55%: ITeS, education, healthcare, retail, aviation
- Real estate & construction 35%: GMADA sectors, Aerocity, developers
- Other 10%: pharma, biotech, events, MSME
What Is Mobile Van Branding, and Why It Works in Mohali
- The medium: a moving billboard (a T-shape van, L-shape van, LED video van or custom build) wrapped with your creative and routed through the sectors where your buyers already are, roughly 8 hours and 40 km a day.
- Why Mohali specifically: demand is spread across a planned, sector-based map. IT and ITeS staff cluster at the IT City and Quark SEZ, home-buyers track the new GMADA sectors and Aerocity, premium retail sits at VR Punjab and North Country Mall, and commuter density concentrates at Fountain Chowk, Madanpur Chowk and the Sohana corridor. A fixed hoarding captures one; a van stitches several sectors into one day's route.
- Reach: an estimated 30,000 to 70,000 impressions per van per day (an industry figure; we report actual routed reach, not a promise).
- Who you hit: IT professionals, home-buyers, ISB and Chandigarh University students, hospital visitors and upscale families, all in a single route.
- Formats we run: T-shape, L-shape, LED video and fully custom builds, matched to your budget and campaign type. For Mohali we usually recommend static-panel vans, which sit most comfortably within Punjab's outdoor-advertising norms.
Mohali's Business Ecosystem: Who Buys Advertising Here
- The IT and tech engine: the Mohali IT City (around 1,700 acres, GMADA-developed near the airport), Quark City (Punjab's first notified and only functional SEZ, with tenants including Infosys, Emerson, Bunge and Alorica), Infosys (operational since 2017) and STPI anchor Punjab's tech story.
- Real estate leads all: a large GMADA-led sectoral expansion (Aerocity and premium sectors, with Sector 66 land around ₹16,500 per sq ft) makes developer, plot and apartment advertising the single biggest outdoor category in the city.
- The airport and Aerocity: Chandigarh International Airport (Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, IXC) is physically located in Mohali, with Aerocity built adjacent, a premium, high-visibility catchment.
- Cricket and events: the PCA I.S. Bindra Stadium (a legacy international venue) plus the new Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium at Mullanpur (the IPL Punjab Kings home from 2024) keep event footfall high.
- Premium education and healthcare: ISB Mohali (the Indian School of Business, Sector 81), Chandigarh University at Gharuan, plus Fortis and Max super-speciality hospitals that draw tricity medical-tourism traffic.
A market that keeps expanding: literacy & premium land value

Marketing Potential: Who Advertises Most in Mohali
- Cost edge: a wrapped van carries one of the lowest costs per thousand impressions in outdoor media, giving tricity-level visibility without fixed-hoarding rates.
- Seasonality: real estate and IT buy year-round; demand lifts around festivals, the property launch calendar and cricket and event windows at the two stadiums.

Transit Ecosystem: The Roads Your Van Will Use
Daily footfall generators a van route can tap
| Node | Why it matters for routing |
|---|---|
| Airport Road / Aerocity | Premium approach to Chandigarh International Airport and the new sectors, high-value commuter and traveller reach |
| IT City / Quark SEZ belt | Concentrated IT and ITeS workforce; the B2B and premium-consumer window at commute hours |
| Fountain Chowk & Madanpur Chowk | High-traffic sector junctions with long dwell exposure for a wrapped van |
| Sohana & Sectors 62/63/67 | Dense residential and retail corridors, ideal for sustained frequency |
| Kharar-Landran road / NH-5 | Arterial corridors linking the tricity, education campuses and industrial estates |
Extra-dwell hotspots: Sectors 60/63/73, Sohana, Madanpur Chowk and Fountain Chowk are ideal slow-down and, where permitted, short-park points at peak hours.

What does mobile van branding cost in Mohali?
Standard wrapped vans start at ₹2,200 per van per day, with print, mounting and fabrication added as a one-time cost. LED and video vans are a higher tier depending on the build. For an exact figure, share your target sectors and dates through our contact form.
Which areas in Mohali are best for van branding?
It depends on your buyer: the IT City and Quark SEZ belt for IT and B2B, Aerocity and Airport Road for real estate and premium consumers, Sectors 62/63/67 and Sohana for residential and retail reach, and VR Punjab for upscale mall audiences.
Is this the same as a prachar gaddi or publicity van in Mohali?
Yes. Prachar gaddi (ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਗੱਡੀ), publicity van, LED video van and mobile hoarding all describe the same medium: an advertisement on a moving vehicle. This page covers every one of those formats.
How many impressions does a van generate in Mohali?
Industry estimates put a wrapped van at roughly 30,000 to 70,000 impressions per day across high-traffic sectors. We report actual routed reach for your campaign rather than a fixed promise.
Who permits van advertising in Mohali, the Corporation or GMADA?
It is a dual-authority landscape. The Municipal Corporation SAS Nagar (50 wards) governs the town, while GMADA master-plans and develops the newer estates such as Aerocity, the IT City and the higher sectors, so for routes touching those areas permission may sit with GMADA. We confirm where authority lies before every deployment.
Should we run a static-panel van or an LED van in Mohali?
For Mohali we usually recommend static-panel vans, which sit most comfortably within Punjab's outdoor-advertising norms. LED and video vans work well for event and launch activation; we advise on the right format for your campaign and route.
In which language should the creative be?
Mohali is unusually English-fluent and cosmopolitan, so English and Hindi-heavy creative fits the audience. Punjabi in Gurmukhi script on top is the standard signage practice, and we design to that.
Do you handle permissions, and what proof of running do we get?
We handle route and Corporation or GMADA permissions as applicable and send GPS-tagged daily photos of your van on its actual route, with visible PB-65 registration plates, so you can verify coverage every day.
Can one campaign cover Mohali and the tricity together?
Yes. We run combined routes across the tricity and nearby Punjab towns, pairing Mohali with Kharar, Zirakpur, Rajpura, Patiala or Ludhiana under one plan and one report.
