GANDHINAGAR: At the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors' Summit 2013, Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) emerged as a key investment destination, attracting significant attention from domestic and international business delegates. In a span of two days, over 200 investors formalized interest in the region through MoUs and commitment certificates.

A total investment of approximately ₹4,471 crore was pledged across multiple sectors, with a strong focus on IT/ITeS, solar power, and smart infrastructure. Notably, 45 high-value agreements were signed within the IT and technology sector alone, cumulatively representing an investment potential nearing ₹8,000 crore when accounting for extended projects in pipeline.

Highlights from the summit include:

• Greenfield IT parks and tech hubs planned across Dholera
  
   
• Smart-grid and energy-efficient utility infrastructure commitments
  
   
• Solar power generation and innovation-based investment proposals
  
   
• Collaborative ventures in electronics manufacturing and data services
  
   

This influx of capital and business interest reinforces Dholera’s position as a next-generation smart industrial hub under the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) initiative. The investment momentum also indicates growing confidence in Gujarat’s forward-looking governance, policy clarity, and ease-of-doing-business reforms.

The summit served as a launchpad for building long-term partnerships and introduced Dholera’s potential to a global audience focused on sustainable, tech-driven urban development.
