Dholera SIR

India’s First Planned Greenfield Smart City

Dholera Special Investment Region, commonly known as Dholera SIR, is a planned industrial and urban development region in Gujarat. It is being developed as part of the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor to support manufacturing, technology, logistics, renewable energy, commercial activity and modern residential development.

Unlike cities that expand gradually around existing settlements, Dholera is being developed through a structured master plan. The plan includes dedicated industrial, residential, commercial, tourism and knowledge-based zones supported by roads, drainage, water supply, power infrastructure and digital city-management systems.

Dholera SIR covers approximately 920 square kilometres and includes 22 villages. Its size, planned infrastructure and connection with major transportation projects make it one of India’s most significant long-term urban and industrial developments. Dholera SIR overview

Residential zones

Industrial zones

Commercial areas

City Centre

Logistics zones

Tourism and resort areas

Public and institutional spaces

Knowledge and IT zones

Dholera Activation Area

The Activation Area is the first major development zone within Dholera SIR. It covers approximately 22.54 square kilometres and is situated primarily within Town Planning Scheme 2.

It has been developed to support the initial phase of industrial, commercial and supporting urban activity.

Important infrastructure within the Activation Area includes:

  • Underground utility corridors
  • Water-supply network
  • Wastewater-management systems
