● The regionSpecial Investment Region,
Special Investment Region,
not a private township.
Dholera SIR sits on the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor in Gujarat. JB Realcon’s briefing compares its planned area with Singapore, and locates the first development slice — 5,600 acres — as the place where trunk infrastructure is already being built.
● Five-stage journey2009 to 2047,
2009 to 2047,
with the peak in this decade.
JB Realcon’s briefing follows Dholera from a 2009 baseline: rising through the conversion years, peaking in the 2023–2030 communication stage, and settling as the city is built out. The argument is that land is entered while the city is still connecting, not after it is complete.
01 Conception2009–2016Vision and foundation
Greenfield vision, master plan and feasibility. DSIR was conceived as a 920 sq. km region — about twice Singapore — with a 2020 development plan and a 2042 horizon. Early work included TP schemes, trunk roads, a 50 MLD water treatment plant, GIS substations and ABCD planning.
02 Conversion2017–2022Land to infrastructure
Land development, roads, utilities and industrial infrastructure. ABCD, ABC School, Tent City, the central spine, water and power plants, and town-planning schemes 2, 3, 4 and 5 are listed as completed in this window, with metro, airport and expressway work marked in progress.
03 Communication2023–2030Connecting the city
The current stage in JB Realcon's briefing: highways, metro, airport, industrial hubs and global connectivity. The growth index is shown peaking here. Mega projects include the Tata fab, Lothal heritage complex, metro phase 1, airport operations, DFC, hospitality and an Adani data centre.
Current stage
04 Construction2031–2041Building at city scale
Large-scale industrial, residential and commercial construction after the communication network is in place. The briefing frames this as the period of urban bulk, not the period of cheapest land entry.
05 Completion2042–2047A working smart city
The long horizon in the published journey: a functioning economy, global connectivity and a completed public realm. The growth index is shown moderating once the city is built out.
Restated from JB Realcon’s DSIR real-estate growth briefing.
● Activation mixHow the first
How the first
5,600 acres are allocated.
Land use follows the DSIR activation-area plan for the 22.54 sq. km first slice, about 5,570 acres: industrial 47% and residential 28%, with community facilities, roads, the high-access corridor, recreation and tourism making up the balance. Acre figures are rounded from those shares.
47%Industrial · ~2,620 ac
28%Residential · ~1,560 ac
8%Community facilities · ~445 ac
6%Roads · ~335 ac
4%High-access corridor · ~225 ac
4%Recreation & sports · ~225 ac
3%Tourism & resort · ~165 ac
● City systemsUnderground first,
Underground first,
then the skyline.
The conversion-stage record is roads, water, power, gas and a utility corridor — not towers. Construction photographs in the briefing include a 50 MLD water plant, GIS substations, and L&T site works.
● ConnectivityAirport, metro,
Airport, metro,
freight, port.
The communication stage (2023–2030) is defined as the decade that connects Dholera to Ahmedabad and to cargo networks. Hospitality and data-centre projects sit in the same mega-project list.
Dholera International Airport
A new cargo and passenger airport is part of the communication-stage programme. JB Realcon's 2026–2030 briefing lists the airport among the region's mega projects, with a fully operational target in that window.

Semiconductor, aerospace assembly, and the Lothal heritage complex are regional projects. They are not JB Realcon amenities. They are the reason a residential plot is a city plot.

National Maritime Heritage Complex
400 acres at Lothal · 2026 completion in project materials · 20,000 visitors / day.
● Lothal / LADAA heritage city
A heritage city
beside the SIR.
The National Maritime Heritage Complex is described as a 400-acre project with a 2026 completion in JB Realcon’s materials. LADA land and the Free Zone of Dholera and Lothal are part of the published mandate.
● Investment readingA comparison,
A comparison,
not a prospectus.
The 2026 chart places Dholera in a communication stage against Gurugram, Navi Mumbai and Dubai. Entry tickets and appreciation ranges are the briefing’s numbers. They are not live offers and they are not guaranteed.
Entry range in the 2026 briefing
Dholera SIR is shown at ₹8,000–10,000 per sq. yd., against much higher stated entry tickets in Gurugram, Navi Mumbai and Dubai. Treat this as a briefing comparison, not an offer.
Communication versus construction
The argument is timing: Dholera is still assembling airport, metro and industrial campuses, while some compared cities are already in a construction or completion stage.
Regional capital programme
The same chart cites ₹2,50,000 Cr of expected investment and 5,00,000+ jobs by 2030 for the region. Those are SIR-scale figures, not project-level commitments.
What is Dholera SIR?
Dholera Special Investment Region is a planned greenfield city in Gujarat on the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor. JB Realcon's briefing describes a 920 sq. km planning region with a first activation area of 22.54 sq. km.
Why does the briefing emphasise 2023–2030?
That window is labelled the communication stage: airport, metro, industrial campuses and global connectivity. The growth index in the same briefing is shown at its highest in this stage.
What does the ₹8,000–10,000 per sq. yd. figure mean?
It is the land-entry range stated for Dholera SIR in JB Realcon's 2026 comparison briefing. It is not a project price. The Gloria Crestview page carries its own rate chart; ask for current availability before relying on either figure.
Which amenities are city-level versus project-level?
ABC School, the food court, hospital buildings, ABCD, metro, airport and canal parks are SIR / regional assets. Gloria Crestview's published drawing is a plotted layout with internal roads and open space.
