Dholera, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India Lands in Dholera SIR
Villages Inside Dholera SIR
Dholera Special Investment Region is made up of 22 revenue villages. Their land is what the region is being built on — every road alignment, land-use zone and Town Planning Scheme in the Development Plan is drawn across these 22 village boundaries. Which village a parcel sits in decides which TP Scheme governs it, what it can be used for, and how far it is from the part of Dholera that is already developed. This page lists all 22, what each is known for, and where to read more. Land here is governed by DSIRDA’s Town Planning process rather than the ordinary revenue-office route, and every scheme covering the region is still a draft.

Explore Dholera SIR by Land Use Zone
Village boundaries decide which Town Planning Scheme applies to a parcel. Land-use zones decide
what can be built on it — and the two do not line up. A single village can carry residential,
industrial, commercial, recreation and agricultural zoning across different parts of its land.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many villages are inside Dholera SIR?
Twenty-two. The Dholera Special Investment Region covers 22 revenue villages across a
notified area of 879.3377 sq km. They range from Bhimtalav at 7.40 sq km to Bavliyari at
about 111 sq km.
Which villages are included in Dholera SIR?
Ambli, Bavliyari, Bhadiyad, Bhangadh, Bhimtalav, Cher, Dholera, Gogla, Gorasu, Hebatpur,
Kadipur, Khun, Mahadevpura, Mingalpur, Mundi, Otariya, Panchi, Rahtalav, Sandhida, Sangasar,
Sodhi and Zankhi. All 22 sit in Dholera taluka of Ahmedabad district, and each can be looked up
on AnyROR, the Gujarat Revenue Department’s land record portal, under that district and taluka.
Census 2011 and many online village directories still file some of them under Dhandhuka or
Barwala taluka — those reflect earlier arrangements, not the current record.
Which Dholera SIR villages are in the Activation Area?
The Activation Area is made up of the TP-2A and TP-4A sub-scheme areas — the part of Dholera
where development is already on the ground. Dholera village land falls inside it, and Mundi is
partly within. Bhimtalav adjoins it and Mahadevpura touches its boundary. Every other village
sits outside. These are village-level statements: whether a specific parcel adjoins the boundary
has to be checked against the sanctioned scheme drawing.
Which TP Scheme covers each Dholera SIR village?
Six draft Town Planning Schemes cover the region, and each scheme drawing names its own
constituent villages. TP1 covers Ambli, Kadipur, Bhadiyad and Gogla. TP2 covers ten villages
including Dholera, Gorasu, Khun and Bhimtalav. TP3 covers eight, TP4 eight, TP5 five and TP6
five. Most villages appear in two or three schemes — Hebatpur appears in three, and Mingalpur is
the only village in just one. The comparison table above lists the schemes for each village.
Are all 22 villages part of Dholera Smart City?
“Dholera Smart City” is a commonly used name rather than an official designation. The notified
entity is the Dholera Special Investment Region, constituted under the Gujarat Special
Investment Region Act 2009, and all 22 villages fall inside it. Development within the region is
planned and administered by DSIRDA.
Can I buy land in villages inside Dholera SIR?
Land inside the SIR is bought and sold, but it goes through DSIRDA’s Town Planning Scheme
process rather than the ordinary revenue-office route. Before treating any parcel as
construction-ready, confirm which scheme and sub-scheme it falls in, its Final Plot number, the
DSIRDA NOC and its NA clearance status. Agricultural land in Gujarat also carries its own rules
on who is eligible to buy it. Each village page sets out what to verify locally.
Looking for Land Inside Dholera SIR?
Village areas, scheme membership and land-use zoning are taken from the DSIRDA Draft Development
Plan and the Draft Town Planning Scheme drawings for TP1 to TP6. All six schemes are drafts,
published under section 48(1) of the GTP&UD Act 1976 and section 17 of the GSIR Act 2009.
