To develop a sustainable city with world class infrastructure and to create an ecosystem for innovation leading to economy, ecology and social cohesion. Nanocity is the answer.
Nanocity spans 11138 acres of flatland located just beyond the foothills of the Himalayas. It is less than 25 kms east of Chandigarh and just over 200 kms north of Delhi. Two seasonal rivers form the eastern and western borders of the city and two streams trickle within its boundaries. It is well connected by National highway- 73 ( NH-73 ) and State highway-1 ( SW-1). It is a public/private partnership between Sabeer Bhatia Group and the Haryana State Government.
Power is one of the main drivers of an economy. Efforts are underway at Nanocity to find a solution to provide uninterrupted power supply. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass are the alternatives being explored. And the majority of power will come from hydro sources from the neighbouring, energy surplus, state of Himachal Pradesh. Source: Nanocity
