Gujarat’s vision of turning Dholera into India’s foremost semiconductor and green-tech city is fast crystallising. The critical mobility corridor is central to unlocking the potential of the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), which is being meticulously crafted into a future-ready industrial node with sustainable infrastructure, integrated utility services, and plug-and-play readiness for high-tech investments.
The region, envisioned as a self-sufficient smart industrial hub, has now hit several key milestones. Among the most significant are the operationalisation of a 300 MW solar park and the near-complete underground utility network that reflects the administration’s push for carbon neutrality and climate-conscious development. Also complete is the ABCD Building, which will house digital command and control systems to ensure seamless governance, underscoring Dholera’s smart city aspirations. On ground, the development extends beyond roads and buildings. The freight rail corridor from Bhimnath to Dholera is in the works, with aligned social infrastructure such as a full-scale hospital, school facilities till Class 12, fire stations, and residential zones under active construction. These additions are intended to create a liveable urban ecosystem for future industrial workers and investors. At the core of this transformation lies a model of equitable, inclusive, and future-proof city-building.
The government’s focus on Dholera aligns with the national push to position India as a serious contender in global semiconductor manufacturing. A major element of this vision is the semiconductor fabrication facility being set up by a leading industrial group, which is expected to become a landmark development not only for Gujarat but for India’s larger electronics self-sufficiency agenda. In meetings held on site, project stakeholders assessed production targets, infrastructure needs, and time-bound deliverables to ensure alignment with India’s global ambitions in chip manufacturing. The Dholera International Airport, with a capital infusion of ₹1,350 crore, is simultaneously seeing rapid progress. The runway, cargo terminal, and passenger facility are under various stages of construction. Once complete, the airport is expected to be a vital node for both cargo logistics and global investor movement, significantly enhancing Dholera’s appeal as an industrial gateway.
The transformation of Dholera is not merely an infrastructure story—it reflects a broader narrative of responsible growth, driven by renewable energy, data-driven governance, and a commitment to equitable urban design. The model being rolled out in Dholera is likely to serve as a benchmark for future cities across India that aim to balance technological ambition with environmental sensitivity and inclusivity. As multi-departmental coordination strengthens and projects move toward final delivery, Dholera is no longer a vision on paper. It is rapidly taking shape as a physical, economic, and social reality—poised to symbolise India’s entry into a high-tech, low-carbon future.
