Regional Planning
The development begins with a broader regional framework covering land use, infrastructure, industrial areas, residential zones, transportation and supporting facilities.
Development Process
How Dholera SIRis being developed
Dholera is being developed through a planned and phased approach that brings together land-use planning, trunk infrastructure, industrial development, connectivity and supporting urban infrastructure.
The Bigger Framework
Development starts with planning, not construction alone.
A large-scale development such as Dholera SIR requires infrastructure, land use, industry and urban services to be planned together rather than developed independently.
The development framework therefore moves from regional planning and zoning to infrastructure creation, followed by industrial and supporting development.
This phased structure allows infrastructure to create the foundation for economic activity while providing room for future expansion.
Six Development Stages
From master planning to an operating ecosystem
Each stage builds on the previous one, creating the framework required for long-term industrial and urban development.
0202
Land Use & Zoning
Different areas are planned for specific purposes so industrial, residential, commercial, institutional and infrastructure development can grow within an organized framework.
0303
Activation Area
The Activation Area serves as an initial development zone where major infrastructure and utilities are established to support early industrial and urban activity.
0404
Trunk Infrastructure
Large-scale infrastructure such as roads, water supply, power, drainage and other utility networks forms the foundation for further development.
0505
Industrial Development
Industrial zones provide space and infrastructure for manufacturing, technology, logistics and other strategic industries to establish their operations.
0606
Supporting Development
Residential, commercial, institutional and social infrastructure develops alongside industrial activity to support a complete and sustainable urban ecosystem.
Initial Development Zone
The Activation Area
The Activation Area is an important part of the initial development framework of Dholera SIR. It focuses on creating a serviced environment where infrastructure and economic activity can begin at scale.
Development of this area involves coordinated infrastructure such as roads, utilities, water, power, drainage and connectivity, creating the foundation for industrial and supporting development.
As infrastructure becomes available, different types of economic and urban activities can be introduced within the planned framework.
Planned Development
22.54sq km
Activation Area
The initial serviced development zone provides a practical starting point for infrastructure-led industrial growth within the larger Dholera SIR framework.

Infrastructure Foundation
Infrastructure enables the next layer of development.
Large-scale industrial development depends on reliable physical and digital infrastructure. Dholera's development framework integrates these requirements into the overall planning process.
01
Road Network
Planned internal roads and wider regional connections create structured access between industrial, commercial and other development zones.
02
Water Infrastructure
Water supply and distribution systems are planned as part of the core utility infrastructure required for large-scale development.
03
Power Infrastructure
Reliable power infrastructure supports industrial operations as well as the growing requirements of commercial and urban development.
04
Drainage & Utilities
Drainage and utility networks are integrated into the development framework to support long-term expansion.
05
Digital Infrastructure
ICT and communication infrastructure forms an important part of a modern industrial and smart-city environment.
06
Logistics Infrastructure
Connectivity between industrial zones, highways, freight infrastructure and surrounding economic corridors supports movement of goods and materials.
Industrial Ecosystem
Infrastructure creates the platform for industry.
Once infrastructure and utilities are established, industrial development can grow around the planned network. The objective is to create an ecosystem where manufacturing, technology, logistics and supporting businesses can operate within the same regional framework.
This approach also allows supporting services and urban infrastructure to develop alongside economic activity rather than treating industrial development as an isolated zone.

Regional Connectivity
Development is connected to the wider economic network.
Dholera's development is designed around connections to regional roads, freight infrastructure, ports and air connectivity. These links are important for the movement of people, materials and finished goods.
01
01Road Connectivity
Regional and internal road infrastructure supports movement between Dholera and surrounding economic areas.
02
02Freight Connectivity
Integration with freight and logistics networks supports industrial supply chains and movement of goods.
03
03Port & Air Access
Wider regional connectivity provides access to maritime and aviation infrastructure supporting business and industry.
Phased Approach
Development grows in stages.
A phased approach allows infrastructure and economic activity to expand progressively instead of requiring the entire region to develop simultaneously.
Phase 1
Plan
Establish the regional planning framework, land-use structure, zoning and development priorities.
Phase 2
Build
Develop trunk infrastructure and essential utility networks required to make planned areas operational.
Phase 3
Activate
Enable industrial, commercial and supporting developments within the serviced development areas.
Phase 4
Expand
Extend infrastructure and development into additional zones as economic activity and demand increase.
