1. The Vision Behind Dholera SIR
Dholera SIR in Gujarat seeks to create an economic hub that attracts global investors, fosters innovation, and offers residents a high quality of life. It represents India’s first smart city planned, designed, and executed from scratch; unlike existing urban areas that must adapt their plans to respond to population growth pressures or infrastructure demands; instead Dholera SIR was meticulously planned with technology integration, sustainability practices, and infrastructure needs being prioritized from day one.
The city aims to become an international manufacturing and investment destination with cutting-edge infrastructure for industries like IT, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, renewable energy and renewables. This vision aligns with India’s Make in India and Smart Cities Mission initiatives while setting new standards in urban development.
2. Strategic Location and Connectivity
Dholera SIR benefits significantly from its strategic location. Situated approximately 100 kilometres west of Ahmedabad, Dholera forms part of DMIC — an ambitious $100 billion infrastructure initiative aimed at creating industrial zones along a 1,500-kilometer freight corridor spanning across India’s commercial capital, Mumbai, and its national capital, Delhi. Dholera provides an important link between India’s commercial capital, Mumbai, and its national capital Delhi.
Dholera International Airport will further enhance connectivity, opening direct access to international markets for industries. A well-planned network of highways, expressways, and rail links ensures easy transportation in and out of the city – positioning Dholera as an ideal logistics and manufacturing hub – and serving businesses and industries by providing easy operations as well as access to key markets.
