1. Reimagining Panchkula’s Future Along the Ghaggar River

The Ghaggar River is not just a seasonal watercourse—it’s a vital geographical and cultural feature that connects the city of Panchkula to its people, environment, and heritage. Sidigiqor Technologies OPC Pvt. Ltd. is honored to present this comprehensive proposal to transform the 20-kilometer stretch of the Ghaggar—from Kaushalya Dam in Pinjore to the Panchkula–Punjab border—into a world-class, eco-sensitive, and economically vibrant riverfront development.

This project envisions both banks of the Ghaggar as a continuous zone of sustainable tourism, public recreation, green infrastructure, and commercial vibrancy. It blends the best of global urban riverfront developments (like the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, and Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul) with local aspirations and regional potential, making Panchkula a future-ready city and a model for Northern India.
