The Dholera glossary

Dholera runs on a specific vocabulary, and getting a term wrong can cost you money. Because the region is a statute-backed, planned area rather than an open market, almost every important word here maps to an official record you can check rather than a claim you have to trust. This glossary defines the terms you meet the moment you move from browsing to buying or setting up a unit, from SIR, DMIC and DSIRDA to TP scheme, Final Plot, non-agricultural status and GUJRERA. Each entry explains the term in plain English, says why it matters when you build, and points to where the official record lives so you can verify a claim rather than take it on faith.

How this page is sourced

Everything on this site is held to one standard so you can trust it enough to act on. Every figure is tagged by where it comes from: green for government or official sources, amber for national or trade press, and red for broker or unverified claims, which we flag rather than repeat as fact. Every figure carries a date, because Dholera moves and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything framed as a future event, an opening, a first chip, a completion, stays labelled as a target until a government source confirms it happened. We do not sell plots, we do not publish invented reviews or registration numbers, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing. The full method and the primary sources are on the sources and methodology page.

Read the tags as a confidence meter. A green figure is something you can plan against today. An amber figure is credible but worth confirming before you build a decision on it. A red figure is a claim we are showing you so that you can recognise it, not one we stand behind. When two sources disagree, we say so and show the more authoritative one rather than averaging them into a number that is nobody's actual figure. The point of all of this is simple: you should be able to act on what you read here, and check any of it yourself, without wondering whether a number was quietly invented to make the picture look better than it is.
