Dholerapedia

The independent, sourced reference on Dholera SIR. 0Neutral. Cited. Dated.

Dholerapedia is a neutral reference work on the Dholera Special Investment Region (Dholera SIR), a greenfield industrial smart city on the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat, India, and the flagship node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. 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.

The region's profile rests on a set of anchors that are under construction rather than merely announced. The anchor industrial investment is the Tata Electronics semiconductor fab, approved by the Union Cabinet on 29 February 2024 under the India Semiconductor Mission, a Rs 91,000 crore facility built with Taiwan's PSMC for up to 50,000 wafers a month on a 300mm line. A solar park has about 300 MW commissioned of a 1,000 MW first phase, and a semi high-speed rail link was approved by the CCEA on 13 May 2026. Each of these has its own article, with the confirmed facts separated from the announced targets.

How to use Dholerapedia

Every article tags its figures by source: Confirmed for government or official records, Reported for press or trade coverage, and Unverified for broker claims, which we flag rather than repeat as fact. Dates are attached to figures because Dholera moves and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything framed as a future event, an opening, a first chip, a completion, is labelled a target until a government source confirms it happened. No government source guarantees appreciation, and assured-return claims are marketing rather than fact. The full method is on the methodology page, and the complete list of entries is in the encyclopedia index. Dholerapedia does not sell plots, take payment for placement, or promise appreciation; it exists to be the neutral place you check a fact before you act on it. If a figure here is out of date or a source has changed, that is a correction we want to make, so please tell us via the contact page rather than assume the number is fixed.
