Dholera SIR master plan
Six town-planning schemes over three phases
This page covers the six TP schemes, land use, and Activation Area. Every figure below carries the source it came from and the date it was recorded.
The Dholera master plan organises the region's developable land into six town-planning schemes delivered in three phases over roughly three decades. Dholera SIR is planned over about 920 sq km, of which roughly 580 sq km is developable and about 422 sq km is designated for urban development across six town-planning schemes (TP1 to TP6). Around one-third of the developable land falls in the Coastal Regulation Zone.
| Total planned | ~920 sq km |
|---|---|
| Developable | ~580 sq km |
| Urban | ~422 sq km |
| TP schemes | TP1 to TP6 |
| Phase I | TP1+TP2 = 153 sq km |
| Phase II | TP3+TP4 = 126 sq km |
| Phase III | TP5+TP6 = 142 sq km |
| Industrial area | 11,000 ha |
- 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.
- Activation Area
- The first 22.5 sq km, inside TP Scheme 2, which was serviced ahead of everything else, so its roads, water, power and drainage went in first.
- CRZ
- Coastal Regulation Zone. Coastal land where central rules limit what can be built.
- 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.
The six TP schemes
Phase I comprises TP1 (about 51 sq km) and TP2 (about 102 sq km, holding the Activation Area and the ABCD administrative building), totalling 153 sq km. Phase II comprises TP3 and TP4 at 126 sq km (12,600 hectares). Phase III comprises TP5 and TP6 at 142 sq km (14,200 hectares). The three phases sum to about 422 sq km of urban development. Individual per-scheme splits within a phase, and exact per-zone land-use percentages, are not in the public plan extract and are not stated here.
Land use
The plan defines zones for industrial, residential, City Centre, high-access corridor, Knowledge and IT, logistics, strategic infrastructure, public facilities, sports and recreation, solar park, green belt, coastal regulation, agriculture and village buffer uses. The total industrial footprint is about 11,000 hectares, split into clusters, with roughly 3,000 hectares of gross industrial land in Phase I.
Activation Area
The Activation Area of about 22.5 sq km sits inside TP Scheme 2 and is the phase-1 plug-and-play zone where trunk infrastructure is reported complete. The Government of India approved infrastructure tender packages of Rs 2,784.83 crore for it, and matching equity of the same amount has been released.
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.

Dholera SIR in one paragraph
Dholera SIR is a planned industrial city covering about 920 sq km, of which roughly 422 sq km is marked for urban development. That land is being delivered as six town planning schemes, spread over roughly three decades. DSIRDA is the authority that plans and regulates the region, and DICDL is the company that builds it, owned 51% by Gujarat and 49% by the central government through the NICDC Trust. Dholera is the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. That is the frame every entry here sits in. The fuller version is in What Dholera SIR is and the master plan.

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.
