Overview
Dholera Smart City Ahmedabad: An Overview of the Dholera SIR
Dholera Smart City Ahmedabad refers to the planned city at the heart of the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), a notified region of about 920 sq km in Ahmedabad district, Gujarat, roughly 100 km south-west of Ahmedabad. It was created under the Gujarat Special Investment Region Act, 2009 and is widely described as India's first greenfield smart city and the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).
Unlike a city that grows around an old core, Dholera is being planned first and built second. Land is divided into zones for industry, commerce, housing, logistics, public institutions and green space. Roads, power, water, drainage, fibre and other utilities are laid as trunk infrastructure in a defined Activation Area of about 22.54 sq km before the wider region opens up through Town Planning (TP) schemes.
Two bodies run the project. DSIRDA, set up in 2019, is the planning authority. Dholera Industrial City Development Limited (DICDL), a special purpose vehicle formed in January 2016 and owned 51% by the Gujarat government and 49% by the DMIC Trust, builds the infrastructure. That structure of state and central backing is one reason the region has kept moving through long cycles of planning.
2026 has been a defining year: the 109 km Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway opened to traffic, the first aircraft trial landing took place at Dholera International Airport, the semiconductor SEZ for Tata Electronics was notified, and a 134 km semi high-speed rail link to Ahmedabad was approved. This page brings those facts together with every project and builder linked on this site.

Get Latest UpdatesWhy Dholera
Why Dholera Smart City Is on Every Investor's Radar
Nine reasons the Dholera SIR stands apart from conventional city growth around Ahmedabad.
A city planned before it is built
Zoned land, trunk roads and utility corridors are laid out in advance, so growth follows a master plan instead of fighting an existing urban fabric.
A canvas larger than Singapore
At about 920 sq km, the region is larger than Singapore's land area of roughly 735 sq km, leaving room for industry, housing, logistics and green space at scale.
Expressway already open
The 109 km Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway has been operational since 31 March 2026, cutting the drive from Ahmedabad dramatically.
International airport in progress
A 3,200 m runway designed for 4E category aircraft, a cargo complex and an integrated terminal are being built on 1,426 hectares at Navagam.
India's first chip fab
Tata Electronics' roughly ₹91,000 crore semiconductor facility is the anchor of a growing industrial ecosystem with tens of thousands of expected jobs.
Renewable power base
An ultra-mega solar park of 4,400 MW total capacity is planned, with Phase 1 of 1,000 MW under implementation and Tata Power's 300 MW already commissioned.
Smart, underground utilities
Water, drainage, power and fibre are planned in underground corridors and monitored from the ABCD administrative and ICT hub.
Strong institutional backing
The Gujarat government and the Government of India, through DMIC, jointly own the implementing SPV, and Gujarat has backed the region with dedicated policies.
Choice across property types
Buyers can look at plots, villas, apartments, commercial space and township projects, from compact studio units to large villa plots.

Get My ShortlistMaster Plan
Dholera SIR Master Plan, Zoning and Town Planning Schemes
How the 920 sq km region is organised, who plans it and what it means for the land you buy.
How the plan works
The Dholera master plan treats the 920 sq km region as a set of planned zones rather than a single block of land. Industrial land is placed along the logistics and transport corridors, commercial and mixed-use land is concentrated around the central spine, residential neighbourhoods are planned close to jobs and amenities, and land is set aside for schools, hospitals, civic buildings and ecological conservation.
Development is released in stages. The Activation Area of about 22.54 sq km comes first and carries the trunk infrastructure. Beyond it, the region is organised into six Town Planning (TP) schemes. A TP scheme is a statutory land-pooling and re-planning exercise: farmers' land is pooled, laid out with roads and services, and returned as Final Plots with a legal number.
What this means for buyers
- Plots inside a sanctioned TP scheme carry a Final Plot (FP) number you can trace on the scheme map.
- Land inside or next to the Activation Area is nearer to completed trunk services.
- Land outside a sanctioned scheme depends on future approvals, so check its status carefully.
| Statutory plan | Development Plan and Town Planning schemes under the Gujarat SIR Act, 2009 |
|---|---|
| Land-use zones | Industrial, commercial, residential, logistics, public and institutional (education, healthcare, civic), and environmental or open-space zones |
| Phase 1: Activation Area | About 22.54 sq km with substantially developed trunk infrastructure; reported as over 95% infrastructure-ready |
| Central spine | A wide central spine road, reported at 250 m, links the Activation Area and carries utility corridors |
| Utilities | Underground corridors for water, drainage, power and fibre, with water, sewage and effluent treatment plants |
| Command centre | ABCD (Administrative cum Business Centre Dholera) building acts as the administrative and ICT hub |
| Plot identification | Each plot in a TP scheme is identified by a Final Plot (FP) number |
Town Planning Schemes in the Dholera SIR
Reported figures for the two schemes published in public records.
| TP scheme | Reported area | Reported plots | Villages covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP Scheme 5 | About 75 sq km | About 853 | 5 villages |
| TP Scheme 6 | About 67 sq km | About 612 | 5 villages |
| Other schemes (TP 1 to 4) | Part of the six TP schemes proposed for the region. Ask the developer or DSIRDA for the scheme, FP number and sanction status of any plot you consider. | ||
Infrastructure
Dholera Smart City Infrastructure: Roads, Power, Water and Smart Utilities
The backbone that turns an empty plain into a functioning city, built in the Activation Area first.
Central spine and internal roads
A wide central spine road and a hierarchy of internal roads, laid with underground utility corridors beneath them.
Power supply
Dedicated substations and an underground power distribution network serve the Phase 1 zones, supported by Tata Power and Torrent Power reported in the region.
Solar park
An ultra-mega solar park with 4,400 MW total capacity is planned; Phase 1 of 1,000 MW is under implementation and Tata Power has commissioned 300 MW.
Water and wastewater
Water treatment, sewage treatment and effluent treatment plants form part of the trunk infrastructure, with separate drainage networks.
ICT and fibre
Fibre networks and smart ICT infrastructure connect the Activation Area and feed the ABCD building's centralised dashboard.
ABCD building
The Administrative cum Business Centre Dholera is the civic and ICT command hub for traffic, water and power management.
Piped gas and utilities
Torrent Gas has been reported among the companies allotted land for city gas distribution in the region.
Funded trunk works
Gujarat's 2026 budget earmarked about ₹610 crore for Phase 1 trunk infrastructure: roads, water, wastewater, power distribution, ICT and airport-enabling works, as reported.
Infrastructure status varies by sector and phase. Always confirm service availability for the specific plot or project you are considering.
Airport
Dholera International Airport
The airport at Navagam is planned to serve the logistics and passenger needs of the Dholera industrial township inside the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and to relieve pressure on Ahmedabad's existing airport. Its 3,200 m runway can handle wide-body category 4E aircraft, and a dedicated cargo complex supports high-value manufacturing exports such as electronics.
Runway testing has been completed and the first trial landing was carried out in June 2026. Licensing and operational readiness are the next steps, so treat opening timelines as targets rather than commitments.
| Name | Dholera International Airport (greenfield), Navagam, Dholera taluka |
|---|---|
| Distance | About 80 km from Ahmedabad and about 20 km from the Dholera SIR |
| Site area | 1,426 hectares, including about 75 hectares for commercial development |
| Runway | Single 3,200 m runway designed for 4E category aircraft |
| Facilities | Integrated passenger terminal, air traffic control tower, cargo complex, taxiways, aprons and environmental support services |
| Phase 1 cost | About ₹1,305 crore, with the terminal building contract at about ₹333 crore |
| Operator | Dholera International Airport Company Limited (DIACL): Airports Authority of India 51%, Government of Gujarat 33%, DMICDC 16% |
| Milestone | First aircraft trial landing conducted on 4 June 2026 |
| Status | Under construction; Phase 1 completion targeted for December 2026, with passenger operations expected from 2026-27 |
Expressway & Rail
Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, Rail and Road Connectivity
The transport links that tie Dholera to Ahmedabad, the airport and the wider Gujarat corridor.
The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway
The expressway is the first big connectivity win for Dholera. It starts at Sarkhej on the Sardar Patel Ring Road, runs south through the Dholera SIR and ends near Adhelai in Bhavnagar district. Access control and a greenfield alignment keep speeds high, and the carriageway can be widened from four lanes to eight as traffic grows.
| Corridor | Ahmedabad (Sarkhej, Sardar Patel Ring Road) to Adhelai village, Bhavnagar district, passing through the Dholera SIR |
|---|---|
| Length and lanes | About 109 km, four lanes expandable to eight |
| Type | Greenfield, access-controlled expressway built by NHAI in four packages |
| Cost | About ₹3,196 crore, excluding land acquisition |
| Status | Inaugurated by the Prime Minister and operational since 31 March 2026 |
| Travel time | Reported to cut the Ahmedabad-Dholera journey from over two hours to around 45 minutes |
Rail and mass transit
In May 2026 the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a 134 km semi high-speed double-line railway between Ahmedabad (Sarkhej) and Dholera at about ₹20,667 crore, targeted for 2030-31. A freight line from Bhimnath to Dholera has been proposed to carry industrial cargo, and a mass rapid transit link with about 70 stations was announced in earlier years.
Rail will matter most for commuters, workers at the semiconductor and industrial units, and freight, which is why many promoters market their distance to the planned rail and metro corridor. Treat such distances as marketing claims until route alignments and stations are final.
Dholera Connectivity at a Glance
| Link | Key facts | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway | 109 km, 4 lanes expandable to 8, about ₹3,196 crore | Operational (31 March 2026) |
| Dholera International Airport | 1,426 ha, 3,200 m runway, Phase 1 about ₹1,305 crore | Under construction; trial landing 4 June 2026 |
| Semi high-speed rail, Ahmedabad (Sarkhej) to Dholera | 134 km double line, about ₹20,667 crore | Approved 13 May 2026; completion 2030-31 |
| Bhimnath-Dholera freight rail | Freight link for industrial cargo | Proposed |
| Mass rapid transit link | Reported plan of about ₹6,000 crore with around 70 stations connecting Ahmedabad and the SIR | Approved in 2021 per public reports; execution details pending |
Marketing material often quotes short distances to a "metro", "expressway" or "airport". Check the exact route and your plot's access road on the sanctioned scheme map before relying on any figure.

Investing in Dholera Smart City: Potential, Drivers and Risks
A balanced look at what supports Dholera's long-term story and what a careful buyer should weigh.
What drives value in Dholera
Value in a planned city comes from delivery: working roads, power and water, then jobs, then people. Dholera now has an operational expressway, a runway that has taken its first test landing, an approved rail link and a semiconductor anchor. Each milestone that moves from announcement to operation reduces uncertainty for the next buyer.
Land close to the Activation Area, the expressway and the airport side tends to be the first to benefit, but those areas also tend to carry higher prices. Outer TP-scheme land is cheaper but takes longer to see services, which suits patient investors.
- Match the holding period to the city's build-out, not to short-term rate headlines.
- Prefer projects with traceable approvals, clear access roads and a named developer.
- Compare all-in cost, not just the base rate per sq yd.
Points in favour
- Expressway already operational, with airport and rail links in the pipeline.
- A large anchor investment: Tata Electronics' roughly ₹91,000 crore semiconductor fab.
- Government of Gujarat and Government of India jointly own the implementing SPV.
- A statutory master plan with zoned land and trunk infrastructure in the Activation Area.
- Renewable power, data-centre policy and industrial allotments broaden the demand base.
Points to weigh
- Long gestation: the full city is expected to build out over many years, not months.
- Uneven progress: the Activation Area is far ahead of outer TP schemes.
- The region is low-lying and has seen waterlogging, as in August 2019, so check levels and drainage on site.

Buying Guide
How to Buy Property in Dholera Smart City Safely
A practical due-diligence checklist for plots, villas and apartments in the Dholera SIR.
- Ownership and title. Ask for the 7/12 extract, 8A record and a title search by your own lawyer, tracing the owner back through previous transfers.
- Non-agricultural (NA) status. Gujarat generally restricts farmland purchases to agriculturists. Confirm the plot has NA permission and sanctioned development permission.
- TP scheme and Final Plot number. Locate the plot on the sanctioned TP scheme map and match the Final Plot (FP) number, area and road width with the documents.
- RERA registration. For projects that fall under RERA, note the registration number and verify it on the Gujarat RERA portal, gujrera.gujarat.gov.in.
- Encumbrances and litigation. Check for mortgages, liens or disputes through an encumbrance search and the court records.
- Developer track record. Review earlier deliveries, financials and customer references, and visit completed projects if any.
- Cost sheet. Get base rate, development charges, GST, stamp duty, registration and any maintenance deposits itemised in writing.
- Payments and registration. Pay only through banking channels against receipts, and complete registration at the sub-registrar's office.
- Physical site visit. Visit the plot, confirm boundaries and the access road, and look at drainage and ground level.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying on distance claims such as "5 km from the metro" without route proof.
- Buying agricultural land marketed as a plot.
- Paying a large booking amount before seeing documents.
- Ignoring the access road, ground level or neighbouring land use.
Can NRIs buy in Dholera?

Tata Electronics, with Taiwan's PSMC, is building India's first semiconductor fabrication facility at Dholera at a cost of about ₹91,000 crore. A 66.166 hectare SEZ was notified in April 2026, and reports target the first chips around the end of 2026.

What is a TP scheme and why does it matter?
A Town Planning (TP) scheme pools farmers' land, lays out roads and services, and returns the land as Final Plots with legal numbers. Buying a plot inside a sanctioned TP scheme with a traceable FP number is safer than buying unsanctioned land.
Is it safe to invest in Dholera?
