Dholera SIR is a greenfield industrial planned city located near the historic town of Dholera in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad district, roughly 100 kilometers to the south-west of the state’s commercial capital. Spanning an expansive area of more than 920 sq. km, Dholera is one of India’s largest and most visionary urban development initiatives. It is being jointly developed by the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat as a future-ready industrial ecosystem designed to attract global manufacturing, world-class infrastructure, and sustainable urban living.

Designed with a forward-looking master plan, Dholera enjoys a strategic location that gives it unmatched connectivity to major trade routes, road networks, seaports, and logistics corridors.

DHOLERA is situated in Ahmedabad district along the Gulf of Khambhat. Identified as a Greenfield port, it is being developed with private sector participation by Dholera Port Limited, promoted by the J.K. Group and the Adani Group.

Dholera lies close to the coastal belt and is surrounded by water bodies on three sides the Gulf of Khambhat on the east, Bavaliari Creek on the north, and Sonaria Creek on the south giving it a natural maritime advantage for port-led industrial development.

The vision is to develop Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) into a global manufacturing and trading hub “the engine for the economic resurgence of the country” powered by world-class infrastructure, smart utilities, and strategic connectivity.

Proximity to Ahmedabad gives Dholera a strong locational edge, supported by an already vibrant industrial base and growing investment environment. The entire project is spread across 35,000 hectares, of which 14,000 hectares form the processing area, while the remaining land is designated as non-processing zones for social, residential, and supporting infrastructure.

Dholera Port is designed to manage a diverse range of maritime activities including general cargo, dry bulk, containers, chemical handling, and ship-breaking operations, positioning it as a major logistics and trade gateway for Western India.

Additionally, the region is strategically placed within 100 km of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), offering rapid cargo movement and nationwide connectivity.
