Special Investment Region · Gujarat
Overview
Most of India's cities grew accidentally. Dholera is the opposite designed before it was built, built before it was sold.
DHOLERA SIR is the first node of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and India's first platinum-rated greenfield smart city. It's not a retrofit of an existing town it's an entirely new urban region planned from a blank canvas, with its own master grid of expressways, metro alignment, airport, and trunk infrastructure laid down before any residential or commercial plots were sold.
This sequence infrastructure first, plots second is what separates Dholera from every other "smart city" project in India. By the time a buyer takes possession, the road, drainage, fibre, and power are already there.
Backed by the Special Investment Region Act 2009 and a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat, Dholera has already attracted over $20 billion in committed investment across manufacturing, semiconductors, renewables, and urban infrastructure.
Why It's Different
The signal that separates Dholera from the noise of "smart city" announcements the structural facts that make it a uniquely durable long-term thesis.
Cumulative international and domestic investment already secured for Dholera SIR's infrastructure, manufacturing, and renewable energy build-out including major semiconductor and EV component anchor tenants.
Built ground-up to IGBC platinum standards. No retrofitting of an existing urban core every road, pipe, and grid is new.
First and only city in India under the Special Investment Region Act a regulatory framework that streamlines approvals and protects investors with statutory backing.
Joint venture between Government of India and Government of Gujarat DMICDC-led execution.
Positioned to be the world's largest manufacturing hub under the China+1 strategy, with semiconductor and EV anchors.
Designed to be the world's largest pollution-free industrial hub, with strict zero-discharge norms.
