The previous revision of the collector rates was done in August 2013. The last revision witnessed a steep hike of up to 50% in some of the categories. The industrial and trader bodies, including Chandigarh Beopar Mandal, had opposed the hike at that time, saying that the rates will divert the investors outside Chandigarh.

The sources revealed that the Friday’s decision was done on the long-pending demand of the trader and industrial associations.

Welcoming the move, the Chandigarh Chamber of Industry (CCI) president Vinod Mittal said the administration had done the right thing by reducing the collector rate of the industrial plots. He further said the administration should also consider their other long-pending demands.

President of the Chandigarh Beopar Mandal Charanjeev Singh demanded that the rates of other parts of the city should also be reduced as there was slump in the market.

Earlier, the estate office had not held any auction since December 2009 due to the slump in the real estate market. In 2010, the administration had planned an auction of the residential and commercial sites, but it was cancelled at the last moment.
