Chandigarh’s Elante Mall is now ‘Nexus Elante’
Nexus Elante Mall Chandigarh: Complete Visitor Guide
Chandigarh’s largest and most iconic shopping destination, long known simply as Elante Mall, was rebranded Nexus Elante in June 2022 after its owner, Nexus Malls, brought its retail properties across India under one unified brand. The name changed; the mall itself — its scale, its brands, and its role as the region’s top shopping and entertainment destination — didn’t.
Spread across nearly 20 acres in Industrial Area Phase I, the mall draws visitors from across Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, and neighboring states of Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh, known for its mix of premium retail, dining, multiplex cinema, and entertainment zones.
