 GANDHINAGAR: In a significant step toward accelerating development in the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), the Gujarat government has announced that government-owned land parcels will soon be offered to developers under a newly structured pricing system. This initiative is designed to promote investment without relying on compulsory acquisition of privately owned land.

Under the proposed model, the sale price of land will not only reflect its base value but also incorporate the anticipated cost of infrastructure development such as roads, water, power supply, and drainage facilities. This all-inclusive pricing mechanism aims to offer clarity to investors while ensuring funding for necessary civic infrastructure.

Additionally, developers purchasing land through the town planning (TP) scheme route will not need to apply for separate non-agricultural (NA) land conversion permissions—simplifying procedures and reducing delays.

Officials believe this policy will encourage early-stage private participation by providing ready-to-develop land with transparent costs and no acquisition-related complications. By monetizing available government land instead of acquiring private plots, the administration hopes to strike a balance between growth and social responsibility.

This strategic land release is part of a broader roadmap to position Dholera as a premier industrial and urban destination under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). The government anticipates strong interest from real estate, infrastructure, and manufacturing firms eager to establish operations in India’s first greenfield smart city.
