Event AV at PCA Stadium
PCA Stadium — Roughly 26,000 seated. An international cricket ground in Sector 63 with real floodlight towers, large field access and proper crowd infrastructure; concert use needs PCA plus Mohali police clearance, outfield protection boarding, and acceptance that the curfew is hard because Chandigarh-border residential sectors sit right alongside. We design, rig and run the full AV stack here.

Key takeaway
What we produce at PCA Stadium
From line-array sound and seamless LED walls to drone light shows over the grounds and projection mapping on the façade, every production here is designed after a site recce and run by a dedicated show-caller.
Mohali is Chandigarh's Punjab-side twin and the region's commercial engine — the Rajiv Gandhi Technology Park IT belt, the Phase 7 to 9 pharma and electronics focal points, PCA Stadium, and the production base of the Punjabi music industry. Its wedding market is NRI-funded, late-night and spends like a metro.
Events we regularly rig for at venues of this type: Corporate Conferences, Product Launches, Award Nights & Galas, Concerts & Live Shows, Weddings & Sangeet, Destination Weddings, Exhibitions & Trade Shows, College Fests.

Venues & rigging
PCA Stadium — An international cricket ground in Sector 63 with real floodlight towers, large field access and proper crowd infrastructure; concert use needs PCA plus Mohali police clearance, outfield protection boarding, and acceptance that the curfew is hard because Chandigarh-border residential sectors sit right alongside. JW Marriott Mohali — The region's premium conference and wedding property on Airport Road, with a proper dock and show-grade power — the one venue here that takes a full corporate conference with no compromise, though ballroom rigging is rated conservatively. Radisson Mohali — Solid mid-market banqueting on the Kharar road side sized for 400–900; the lift-based load-in sets case dimensions and the flown-load ceiling is modest, so heavy video goes on ground support. Phase 7 and Sector 82 marriage-palace belt — Where the volume weddings actually sit: open approach and parking, DG-primary power, and the venues most often cited in the local enforcement drives against late-night amplified sound, so the running order needs to be realistic about the stop time. Siswan and New Chandigarh resort farms — The destination-feel option on the Shivalik foothill side: scenic, with space for parallel functions, but no mains worth using, long cable runs from the DG compound, and approach roads that soften badly after rain.
Weather & season
The Shivalik foothill position gives Mohali a genuinely cold Dec–Jan with nights at 3–6°C and the Punjab plains' dense radiation fog that closes Chandigarh airport for hours and destroys both projection and drone visibility. Apr–Jun reaches 42–44°C with pre-monsoon dust squalls off the plains. The particular local nuisance is late October and early November, when post-harvest stubble smoke adds a haze layer that reads badly on camera and muddies every beam-light effect. Apr–Jun heat; late Oct to early Nov stubble-smoke haze for anything camera-critical; and Dec–Jan fog for projection and aerial work.
Power & backup
PSPCL supply in the Mohali sectors and the focal points is reasonable with good industrial feeders, but the paddy-season agricultural load brings evening voltage dips in exactly the show window, and the marriage-palace belt runs DG-primary regardless. Silent canopied sets are expected because the sectors are residential and complaints here reach the police quickly.
Permits & noise rules
The Municipal Corporation Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar for the licence and temporary structures, GMADA as the development authority for public land, the Mohali police for the public-performance and loudspeaker licence, and Punjab Pollution Control Board noise rules with the 10 pm cut-off — which the Punjab and Haryana High Court has specifically pushed police to enforce against late-night marriage-palace sound, making it the most breached and most fined rule in this market. Punjab excise rules govern liquor service at venues. Chandigarh International Airport sits immediately on Mohali's southern edge, placing essentially the whole city inside a controlled zone, so drone shows need genuine DGCA and ATC coordination and are routinely refused.
Load-in & access
One of the most straightforward load-ins in north India — Mohali is 10 km from Chandigarh's Sector 17 and shares its road network, the sector grid has wide roads and good venue approaches, and Delhi is 250 km and 4.5 hours on NH-44 with no meaningful restriction. Chandigarh airport takes air cargo. The local chokepoints are the Kharar–Landran and Airport Road construction corridors, plus Chandigarh's own commercial-vehicle entry timings if the gear stages on the UT side.
Local expectations
Punjabi weddings here are built around sound level and the late-night sangeet, which collides directly with the most actively enforced noise curfew in the region — the professional answer is a tightly designed, high-SPL-but-controlled system and a running order that peaks before the stop, not a plan that hopes nobody notices. Bhangra and dhol need floor space and acoustic headroom, Punjabi-first scripting with English for the diaspora, and jaggo and chooda ceremonies with their own early-morning setups. Corporate work on the IT side expects clean bilingual delivery and reliable hybrid streaming.
