Geography & terrain

Elante Mall lies in the Industrial Area of Chandigarh, 8 km from the city centre — the mall of the city's modern edge, its twin blocks and the multiplex set at the junction of the Madhya Marg near the Punjab-Haryana border.

History & culture

The mall opened in 2013 as the city's largest shopping centre — the three-storey complex of the retail and the leisure era, with its design by the international firms; its role as the region's gathering place of the Tricity (Chandigarh–Mohali–Panchkula) and the cinema and the food courts of the complex give Elante its modern-chandigarh character.
