- The project spans 1,426 hectares near Navagam village in the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) and plays a vital role in India’s first greenfield smart city vision.
- The Ministry of Civil Aviation confirmed that Phase 1 is on track, with the current deadline set for December 2025, marking a major milestone for Gujarat’s aviation sector.

- The iconic ABCD Building functions as the airport’s main administrative and coordination hub for design, safety, and logistics.
- Designed as a smart and sustainable greenfield airport, it integrates solar energy, automation, and eco-friendly infrastructure to align with India’s vision for smart urban development.
- The airport will significantly reduce travel time between Ahmedabad and Dholera through seamless connectivity offered by expressways, the upcoming high-speed rail line, and a proposed monorail line.
- Once operational, it will help decongest the existing Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad and support growing international traffic across western India.
- As part of the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), the airport will accelerate industrial growth and commercial development throughout the region.
- The surrounding area is witnessing rapid expansion with nearby projects like the Dholera Solar Park, Dholera Port, and new residential and industrial clusters.
