DHOLERA : In a significant stride towards smart governance and transparent land administration, the Dholera Special Investment Region Development Authority (DSIRDA) completed extensive GIS-based cadastral mapping across all designated zones under Town Planning (TP) Schemes 1–6, covering over 422 sq km.

The initiative focused on digitizing all land parcels within the Dholera SIR boundary and integrating them with real-time stakeholder databases. Each parcel is now tagged with unique identifiers linked to landowner details, plot dimensions, and usage category, creating a centralized land information system (LIS).

This digital transformation allows:

  • Seamless land pooling and reconstitution for TP Schemes

     
  • Efficient equity allocation to original landowners based on land contribution

     
  • Simplified investor mapping for public-private projects

     
  • Transparent ownership verification, minimizing future legal disputes

DSIRDA’s land digitization also supports automated documentation, land allotment dashboards, and integration with Development Control Regulations (DCR). The mapping process was conducted using satellite imagery, drone surveys, and on-ground GPS validation, ensuring high accuracy in spatial data and boundary overlays.

The GIS system will be further linked with utilities and trunk infrastructure corridors, enabling smart monitoring and planning as per the evolving needs of the SIR.

This move marks a key milestone in building a digital foundation for smart city governance, aligning with national priorities under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project.
