A Government-backed megaproject transforming India's industrial landscape and creating unprecedented investment opportunities in Gujarat's most ambitious development corridor
Explore Investment OpportunitiesDholera Smart City, also known as Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), is India's first greenfield smart city – a futuristic urban ecosystem being built from the ground up on 920 square kilometers of land. Part of the prestigious Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), this visionary project is spearheaded by the Government of Gujarat through the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) and Dholera Industrial City Development Limited (DICDL).
Developed under the Centre and State Government partnership with full regulatory and financial support, ensuring transparent processes and investor protection.
Unlike retrofitted cities, Dholera is being constructed from scratch with cutting-edge technology, sustainable design, and world-class urban planning.
Positioned as a critical node on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, connecting India's capital with its financial hub and unlocking massive trade potential.
As a greenfield project, Dholera represents a clean slate – free from legacy infrastructure constraints. Every road, utility line, digital network, and building is being designed with 21st-century standards, making it India's most technologically advanced urban development. This is not urban renewal; this is urban revolution.
Dholera Smart City isn't just a real estate opportunity – it's the cornerstone of India's economic transformation. Strategically positioned to become Asia's manufacturing and logistics powerhouse, Dholera is where global ambition meets Indian innovation.
Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth. Dholera's connectivity blueprint positions it as India's most accessible smart city, with multi-billion dollar projects already underway.
The upcoming Dholera International Airport will be Gujarat's second international gateway, facilitating global trade, tourism, and business connectivity. With projected capacity for millions of passengers and dedicated cargo facilities, the airport will position Dholera as a critical logistics node for air freight and international commerce.
The 6-lane Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway and high-speed metro rail will slash travel time to under 45 minutes from Ahmedabad, making Dholera a seamless extension of Gujarat's capital region. This connectivity transforms Dholera from a distant investment into a daily commutable hub, boosting residential and commercial viability. Learn more about ongoing infrastructure projects.
