Dholera Smart City Past and Now - First Greenfield Smart City Dholera SIR

Dholera SIR, a humble town in the state of Gujarat can be best described as a place comprising mainly of farmers or villagers with small time occupation barely being able to make both ends meet. Having three meals a day is a struggle they have to live with every day.



However situation has suddenly flipped and the small town is seeing the light of day with it being included in the “100 Smart city plan” and declared as a “Special Investment Region” by the Government of India.


Built along the DMIC corridor, often referred to as a “corridor of possibilities”, the fate of Dholera City has changed forever; from a small town lost in the crowd to gaining the status of the First Smart City Of India. A city covering 920 square kilometers of land and envisioned to be six times bigger than Shanghai.

Dholera Smart City which currently looks like a typical rustic countryside shall be adorned with shining skyscrapers, flyovers, beautifully designed gardens; a landscape that shall be rivaled by the most affluent cities in India and abroad. It also promises of creating huge employment opportunities and world class facilities that include state-of-art infrastructure, power supply, incessant water on every tap, underground sewerage system, clean surroundings, reduced pollution and the long list continues. The city shall witness a complete makeover.

It is also expected to replace Dubai airport which currently serves as the world hub for airport connectivity. It shall have two runways of 2900 metres and 4000 metres each and is expected to share the traffic burden of Ahmedabad airport by 2023-24.

Dholera Smart City Latest Groung Report:-



As per a local resident of Dholera, the population of the village used to be 45,000 (approximately) in the 1920s and started declining from there owing to lack of opportunities and infertile land. The population currently stands at 2,500 (approximately). However development of the region as a smart city has brought a turnover of events and the land which farmers owned is now fetching them hefty amounts. Farmers who earlier struggled to make both ends meet are now minting millions by selling the much in demand land. The population is expected to reach 10-12 lakhs by the year 2020.


Positivity is surrounding the region and the residents have just got lucky overnight- Thanks to Modi’s smart city vision!
