Naya Raipur (Atal Nagar) is a planned administrative and smart city built by the Naya Raipur Development Authority, and comparing it with Dholera SIR mainly highlights how different their demand engines are.
Different engines
Naya Raipur was built to decongest Raipur and house government and institutional functions, so its early demand came from administration, PSUs and institutions relocating there. Dholera is built to attract manufacturing and a workforce around it, so its demand hinges on industrial anchors landing and hiring. Both are credible planned-city models, but they pull tenants from different pools. Reported
What to check
For an administrative city the question is how many government and institutional users have actually moved; for Dholera it is how much industrial investment has broken ground and begun hiring. The Dholera answer today is concrete but early: a fab under construction, commissioned solar and completed Activation-Area infrastructure. Treat future population and job figures as targets. No government source guarantees appreciation, and assured-return claims are marketing rather than fact. 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.

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.
