Words on this page, in plain English
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.
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.
SPV
Special purpose vehicle. A company set up to carry out one project and nothing else.
NICDC
The central agency that runs India's industrial corridor programme, which Dholera sits inside.

Recent items

Each item below is dated to the month it was announced or reported, and tagged so you can see whether it came from a government source or from the press.

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.

About Dholera SIR

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. The region is governed by the DSIRDA (the statutory planning and land authority) and built by DICDL, a special purpose vehicle incorporated on 28 January 2016 and held 51% by the Gujarat government and 49% by the central government through the NICDC Trust.

Development is phased over roughly three decades: Phase I (TP1 and TP2, 153 sq km) holds the 22.5 sq km Activation Area; Phase II (TP3 and TP4, 126 sq km) runs to about 2032; Phase III (TP5 and TP6, 142 sq km) runs to about 2042.

How Dholerapedia is sourced

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.
