Dholera current status (2026)

What is built versus planned

This article summarises the current status of Dholera SIR in 2026, separating what is built from what remains a target.

Built or operational

The Activation-Area trunk infrastructure is reported complete, the Ahmedabad-Dholera expressway is reported operational from March 2026, and about 300 MW of solar is commissioned. Confirmed

Under construction

The Tata semiconductor fab is past the halfway mark, and the international airport is reported about 80% complete. Reported

Approved or targeted

The semi high-speed rail was approved in May 2026 with a 2030-31 target; the airport targets operations in late 2026; the fab targets first mature-node silicon in late 2026 with commercial production reported later. These are targets, not achievements. 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. For the collected figures across the encyclopedia, see Dholera in numbers, and for the full method see the methodology.
