Trident Realty has announced an integrated township project with an investment of Rs 12 billion in Panipat, signalling a growing shift in residential demand towards non-metro markets.

Strategically located along the Delhi–Chandigarh NH-44 corridor, Panipat is benefiting from improved connectivity, rising incomes and expanding industrial activity. The project, branded Trident Parktown, will be spread across nearly 125 acres in Sectors 19A and 40 and will be developed in phases. The first phase will offer more than 400 residential plots.

Designed as a wellness-oriented township, the development will integrate plotted housing, residential units, retail spaces and community amenities to cater to evolving lifestyle preferences. Developers increasingly view tier-2 cities as attractive markets, driven by demand for larger homes, community-centric living and relatively affordable pricing compared with metropolitan centres.

Highlighting the city’s growth potential, Trident Realty Chairman SK Narvar said Panipat represents the next phase of urban expansion, where infrastructure, connectivity and aspirations converge. The project reflects a broader recalibration in India’s real estate strategy as developers align portfolios with emerging growth centres beyond major metros.
