Dholera NA plots explained

Non-agricultural status and why it matters

Non-agricultural (NA) status decides whether land can legally be used and built for non-farm purposes, and in Dholera it is one of the most misunderstood points.

When NA applies

Land inside an approved town-planning scheme is treated as non-agricultural for its planned use, which is one reason TP and Final Plot status matters so much. Raw agricultural land that is merely near the region, or marketed as being in the SIR without that planned status, may still legally be agricultural, and buying agricultural land carries restrictions and conversion requirements. The NA question is therefore inseparable from the TP-scheme question. Confirmed

How to check

Confirm the exact survey number's status in the land record rather than trusting a general claim that everything in the area is NA. If a seller cannot show that the specific parcel is inside a sanctioned scheme or holds valid NA permission, treat the plot as agricultural until proven otherwise. This single check prevents a large share of Dholera land disputes. Confirmed

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.

Key facts

The core facts for dholera na plots explained are summarised below; each is drawn from the sources listed at the foot of this article and dated to the review month.

• NA: non-agricultural land status.
• Inside TP scheme: treated as NA for the planned use.
• Raw land: may still be agricultural.
• Check: survey number's actual status.

Context

Dholera SIR is planned over about 920 sq km, of which roughly 422 sq km is designated for urban development across six town-planning schemes phased over about three decades. It is governed by the DSIRDA (planning authority) and built by DICDL, a special purpose vehicle held 51% by Gujarat and 49% by the central government through the NICDC Trust, and it is the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. This context frames every article on the region; the specifics of this topic are covered above, and the full picture is in What is Dholera SIR and the master plan.

Reading this reference

Dholerapedia is a reference, so it is built to be checked rather than believed. Every figure in this article is tagged by source, Confirmed for a government or official record, Reported for press or trade coverage, and Unverified for a broker claim, and each carries a date because Dholera changes and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything described as a future event is treated as a target until a government source confirms it, and where a fact is not reliably available the article says so instead of guessing. None of this is investment, legal or tax advice, and no government source guarantees appreciation. If you are evaluating a specific plot, the figures here are context, not a substitute for confirming that parcel's GUJRERA registration, title and price yourself. Corrections that improve accuracy are welcome via the contact page, and entries are updated as official figures change rather than left stale. The reason for this standard is simple: a reference is only worth reading if you can act on it and check it, so we would rather show a smaller number of well-sourced facts than a larger number of impressive-sounding ones. Where a claim about Dholera circulates widely but rests only on a broker source, we note it as unverified rather than repeat it as settled, and where the official record and the marketing disagree, we follow the official record.
