Dholera Special Investment Region is a greenfield industrial smart city being built about 100 km southwest of Ahmedabad under the Gujarat SIR Act 2009. It is the flagship node of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, planned across roughly 920 sq km with about 422 sq km of urban development phased over 30 years.

Planning sits with DSIRDA, a state authority. Construction runs through DICDL, a company owned 51 percent by the Gujarat government and 49 percent by the Centre through the NICDC Trust. Formed in January 2016, DICDL builds the roads, utilities and city systems.

Yes, as reported. The 109 km four-lane access-controlled expressway was inaugurated on 31 March 2026 and cuts the drive to roughly 40 minutes to one hour.

Not yet, as of August 2026. The runway is complete and received its first AAI trial landing in June 2026. The project was reported about 80 percent done in July 2026 with operations targeted late 2026. Treat every opening date as a target until AAI announces commercial flights.

Tata Electronics, with Taiwan's PSMC, is building India's first major commercial semiconductor fab in Dholera: Rs 91,000 cr, up to 50,000 wafers a month, approved February 2024, civil work past halfway in 2026, ASML as lithography partner. First chips are planned at mature nodes with commercial production reported for mid-2028.

Yes. Private, RERA-registered plotted projects sell inside and around the SIR. The buying process is standard Gujarat property law: verify RERA and title, execute a sale deed, pay 4.9 percent stamp duty plus 1 percent registration, and record mutation.

There is no official market price. Brokers in 2026 commonly quote roughly Rs 6,000 to 12,000 per sq yard for residential plots depending on location and status, and we treat that strictly as an indicative, unverified range. Get the all-in price for a specific plot in writing and read our price trends page before comparing offers.

It is safe the way any early market is safe: for verified transactions. The documented risks are agricultural land marketed as SIR plots, projects outside the boundary branded as inside, unregistered layouts and assured-return schemes. Every one of these is detectable with the checks in our due diligence guide.

A roughly 22.5 sq km zone inside TP Scheme 2 where trunk infrastructure was built first: roads, underground utilities, water treatment, the ABCD command centre. It is the physically developed heart of Phase 1 and the reference point for location value.

Town Planning schemes are the legal mechanism that reorganises land into serviced final plots. Dholera has six, TP1 to TP6, all draft-sanctioned. Phase 1 covers TP1 and TP2, about 153 sq km. Land inside a sanctioned TP scheme is treated as non-agricultural, which matters enormously for buyers.

Yes. NRIs and OCIs can buy residential and commercial property under FEMA through NRE or NRO accounts. They cannot buy agricultural land. Our NRI guides cover payment routes, Power of Attorney, TDS on resale and repatriation.

We hold no inventory and develop nothing. We shortlist from third-party RERA-registered projects, verify documents, run site visits and support registration. Developers pay us a disclosed channel partner fee when a deal closes; buyers pay us nothing.

Take the registration number from the brochure and search it on gujrera.gujarat.gov.in under project search, district Ahmedabad. Check the promoter name, layout, expiry and approved plot numbers match what you were shown. Our verification guide walks it screen by screen with real examples.

Entry tickets under Rs 10 lakh exist, typically smaller plots farther from the Activation Area. The trap at this budget is unregistered agri layouts. Our under-10-lakh guide explains how to buy small without buying wrong.

The infrastructure phase is demonstrably real: expressway open, fab under construction, solar generating, airport at trial-landing stage. Full urban life with population is a multi-decade project with phases targeted into the 2040s. Buy for the corridor's industrial build-out, not for next year's skyline.

Different animals. GIFT City is an operational financial services hub near Gandhinagar where you buy built commercial or residential units. Dholera is an early-stage industrial greenfield where you buy land ahead of the city. Risk, ticket size and horizon differ completely; our comparison page does the honest side-by-side.
