Dholera home and plot loan guide
How financing plots differs from homes
This page covers plot loans versus home loans, and what lenders check here. Every figure below carries the source it came from and the date it was recorded.
Financing a Dholera plot is not the same as a home loan, and knowing the difference prevents a common surprise for first-time land buyers.
| Plot loan | for land purchase, stricter terms |
|---|---|
| Home loan | for construction/ready homes |
| Lender checks | clear title, NA status, approvals |
| Note | terms vary by lender and borrower |
- GUJRERA
- Gujarat's property regulator. A plotted project that has to register with it gets a number you can look up on the regulator's own website.
- NA conversion
- Non-agricultural conversion. The official permission that changes what the land record says the land is for, from farming to building.
- SIR
- Special Investment Region. A large area the Gujarat government has set aside for industry under its own 2009 law, with its own planning authority instead of the usual local one.
- TP scheme
- Town planning scheme. The authority pools all the land in one area, lays out the roads and services, then hands each owner back a smaller but serviced plot.
- DSIRDA
- The statutory authority that plans and regulates Dholera SIR, in place of a municipal corporation.
- DICDL
- The company that actually builds Dholera. Gujarat holds 51% of it and the central government holds 49% through the NICDC Trust.
- NICDC
- The central agency that runs India's industrial corridor programme, which Dholera sits inside.
Plot loans versus home loans
Lenders generally treat pure land purchase differently from home purchase: plot loans often carry shorter tenures, higher margins and stricter eligibility than home loans on constructed property, and some lenders finance plots only with a construction commitment. Composite loans that cover land plus construction also exist. Exact terms, rates and loan-to-value depend on the lender, the borrower and the property, so this is general guidance, not a quote.

What lenders check here
For a Dholera plot a lender will scrutinise clear title, non-agricultural status, the approvals of the plotted scheme and its GUJRERA registration, because these determine whether the land is legally financeable. That means the same diligence that protects a buyer, TP status, NA, RERA and title, also determines loan eligibility. If a plot cannot pass a bank's checks, that is itself a warning about the plot. Reported
This article follows Dholerapedia's sourcing standard: every figure is tagged Confirmed (government or official), Reported (press or trade) or Unverified (broker), and dated. Anything framed as a future event is labelled a target until a government source confirms it. Where a fact is not reliably available, we say so rather than estimate. See the methodology.

This is a reference, so it is written to be checked rather than believed. Each figure is marked Confirmed when a government or official record says it, Reported when the press or trade said it, and Unverified when only a seller says it. Each one carries a date, because Dholera keeps moving and a number that was right last year may not be right now. Anything still in the future is written as a target until a government source confirms it happened, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing.
None of this is legal, tax or investment advice, and no government source promises that land here will rise in value. If you are looking at one specific plot, treat everything on this page as background and confirm that parcel's own GUJRERA registration, title and price yourself before you pay. If a figure here has gone out of date, tell us on the contact page and we will correct it. All the figures gathered in one place are in Dholera in numbers, and the full method is on the methodology page.
