Govt-Led Land Sales Model Launched in Dholera SIR | April 30, 2011
GANDHINAGAR: In a landmark step toward structured urban development, the Gujarat government has introduced a state-led land sale mechanism for the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR). The model emphasizes the sale of government-held land as a priority over private land transactions, aiming to streamline early development and provide clarity for investors.
Under the new approach, developers can acquire land directly through the Town Planning Scheme route, which eliminates the need for Non-Agricultural (NA) clearance—traditionally a time-consuming process. The revised model simplifies access and speeds up land allotment, thereby encouraging faster project rollouts.
Importantly, the pricing structure now includes embedded infrastructure charges, ensuring that buyers contribute proportionally to the cost of creating essential utilities such as roads, drainage, electricity, and water networks. This move links land sales directly with core infrastructure progress, fostering a more balanced and sustainable growth framework.
The government aims to make phase-wise land availability more predictable and attractive by offering clear title, streamlined approval processes, and pre-planned utility layouts. Officials emphasize that this framework supports Dholera’s vision of becoming a plug-and-play smart city, offering early investors ready-to-develop infrastructure and streamlined regulatory processes.
This development is set to fast-track the rollout of industrial, residential, and commercial zones in Phase-1 of Dholera SIR, paving the way for broader private sector involvement in future expansion phases.
