About Dholera SIR

India's most ambitious planned industrial city

Dholera Special Investment Region

India's Most Ambitious Planned City

Dholera Special Investment Region, also known as DSIR, is India's most ambitious planned city—a 920 sq. km greenfield industrial and urban region being built from the ground up under the Special Investment Region Act, 2009.

It is jointly developed by the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat through the Dholera Special Investment Region Development Authority, or DSIRDA, and Dholera Industrial City Development Limited, or DICDL.

Dholera also forms a key node of the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor. Unlike most Indian cities that grew organically, Dholera is being engineered from day one with wide planned roads, underground utilities, dedicated industrial and residential zones, and single-window regulatory clearances.

It is being positioned as a model for how India's next generation of cities should be planned, developed and managed.
