How GMI Infra, led by Mohit Bansal, Is shaping industrial parks, IT hubs and Urban growth in North India

GMI Infra is working toward a clear and ambitious objective: to build integrated technology, industrial and urban ecosystems that support India’s next phase of growth.

With a defined roadmap that includes the development of 10 IT parks, along with two logistics parks and two industrial parks by 2030, the company is focused on creating environments that generate long-term economic value rather than short-term attention.

This direction is shaped by Mohit Bansal, Founder and CEO of GMI Infra, who entered the real estate sector with a conviction that the strength of India’s future cities would be defined by planning discipline, not construction speed.

His belief is rooted in the idea that real estate must function as a system where people, employment and infrastructure evolve together.

With an academic foundation in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from New York, Bansal approaches development as a system where infrastructure, employment and governance must work in balance.

A founder shaped by ground realities

Bansal calls the years between 2014 and 2018 his “real MBA.” Before forming GMI Infra, he worked on the ground, literally, across road and bridge construction, land mapping, panchayat negotiations, contractor management and regulatory coordination. 

It was a period that taught him that Indian infrastructure is not built in meeting rooms; it is built in conversations under trees, in district offices, on dusty sites and in negotiations with families for whom land is legacy. 

“Land is not a commodity; it is legacy,” he says. “Infrastructure succeeds only when communities trust you.” 

Those lessons became the philosophical backbone of GMI Infra. It explains why the company treats landowners as long-term partners, why it honours every commitment and why documentation and transparency sit at the centre of its operating model. 

These early insights also shaped GMI’s most radical belief that the real estate sector’s job is not to build structures but to build systems. 

“Traditional developers build buildings. We build ecosystems,” Bansal noted.

Ecosystem urbanism

The core of GMI Infra’s development philosophy is the idea of “cities within cities.” It is not a slogan but a design logic: integrated land-use planning, mobility design, job creation, green infrastructure and community spaces woven into a single urban envelope. 

The company’s satellite-city model rests on four core pillars: 

• Integrated Land Use: Commercial, residential, institutional and leisure zones mapped together rather than as isolated parcels. 
• Transport & Economic Logic: Projects placed along Bharatmala corridors, PR-9, NH205A, the Amritsar–Kolkata Industrial Corridor and high-potential growth nodes. 
• Green & Smart Infrastructure: Solar integration, EV grids, ZLD-compliant STPs, IoT-based monitoring, energy-efficient facades and rainwater harvesting. 
• Social Infrastructure: Schools, parks, wellness spaces and community hubs built into the master plan. 

“Future-proof design means infrastructure that remains relevant for the next 50 years,” he notes.

GMI Projects

GMI Infra’s current portfolio is a reflection of its practical and user-centred philosophy.

Large-Scale Projects That Align With India’s Future Growth Map

As India invests in industrial expansion and digital transformation, GMI Infra has moved towards projects that support the country’s long-term economic direction.

Industrial Parks in Rajasthan

The upcoming industrial parks in Rajasthan reflect GMI Infra’s focus on building infrastructure that enables long-term economic movement.

Designed with modern industrial plots, ready-to-use facilities and environmentally responsible planning, these developments aim to create stable platforms for manufacturing and logistics growth across the region.

Mohali IT Park

• Spread: Approx. 50 Acres

The Mohali IT Park by GMI Infra is envisioned as a large‑scale technology hub spread across 50 acres of land. Planned as a campus‑style development, the park is designed to host IT companies, innovation centres and corporate offices within a structured, well‑connected environment.

Its scale and strategic planning position it as a key contributor to Mohali’s emergence as a major IT destination in North India.

Free Trade Zones and Logistics Parks in Uttar Pradesh

GMI Infra’s free trade zones and logistics parks in Uttar Pradesh represent a step toward building infrastructure that supports long-term economic movement. Developed in collaboration with the state government, these projects are intended to improve trade efficiency, encourage enterprise and create platforms for sustained industrial growth.

Creating Urban Environments Built for Tomorrow

The company is also building residential and commercial ecosystems that reflect changing urban aspirations.

GMI IT District (Upcoming)

• Location: Sector 102A, S.A.S. Nagar, Punjab

GMI IT District is an ambitious upcoming project located in Sector 102A, Mohali, envisioned as a next‑generation technology and innovation corridor.

7. Baskin Robbins

With its high‑street commercial, premium design and curated brand mix, GMI Platinum Square is positioned to become a key commercial landmark in Mohali’s rapidly developing greenfield corridor.

Focused on technology and sustainability

Technology plays a practical role in how GMI Infra plans its projects. Bansal’s training in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics influences the way feasibility, risk and land use are evaluated. 

His separate venture, MindSci AI, contributes analysis around urban planning and infrastructure and this gives the company a data-driven approach to decision-making. 

Much of the technical work is carried out by engineering teams from institutions such as PEC and IIT Ropar, which allows the company to ground its designs in real-world engineering rather than abstract vision statements. 
Sustainability follows a similar, functional approach. The company uses GRIHA and LEED-compliant architecture, IoT-based monitoring, water recycling, ZLD systems, solar power, EV-ready grids, carbon-conscious materials, energy-efficient facades and HVAC.

These methods are positioned less as branding elements and more as compliance with long-term environmental requirements. 

“This is not optional, it is central to building climate-resilient cities.” 

The focus, he says, is on meeting the environmental benchmarks that newer Indian urban developments are expected to follow.

Governance, communities and trust

GMI Infra’s community-related work is carried out through the GMI Charitable Trust, which runs programmes in areas such as education, environmental activities and sports events. 

According to Bansal, these initiatives include support for schoolchildren, tree-planting efforts, youth sports festivals, university engagements and cultural events like the Rose Festival and local golf tournaments. 

The company views this outreach, along with its practice of treating landowners as long-term partners, as part of its broader engagement model.

This approach, it says, has helped it build relationships in Tier-2 regions where large-scale land assembly and long-duration projects require consistent cooperation with local communities.

GMI Infra operates on a hybrid development model that combines direct development, joint development with land owners, long-term leasing in industrial and logistics assets and selective asset ownership in anchor projects. 

According to the company, it relies largely on internal accruals, with private investors participating in a few strategic assets.

The Road to 2030

India’s manufacturing push, ongoing supply chain shifts and the expansion of national infrastructure corridors are reshaping the country’s economic landscape. 

GMI Infra’s current and upcoming projects place it within these broader shifts. The company’s Logistics Park, Textile Park, IT District and the planned Free Trade Zone in Uttar Pradesh are designed to serve industrial activity, export-oriented manufacturing and technology-driven services. 

At the same time, its residential and commercial developments in Mohali, Rajpura, Ludhiana and Lucknow support the urban growth that typically accompanies such economic changes. 

Looking ahead, GMI Infra has set a target of developing 10 IT parks across North and East India by 2030, along with building multiple industrial corridors and expanding its presence across logistics, manufacturing and smart city infrastructure.
