Eight sectors, one industrial city

Dholera was zoned for industry from the start, and the master plan names the sectors it is built to host rather than leaving them to chance. Eight of them carry the weight, and the job-potential figures below come from the DSIRDA Sanctioned Development Plan, so they are planning targets across a roughly thirty-year build-out, not current headcounts. Read them as a statement of intent backed by land, infrastructure and, increasingly, anchors: the Rs 91,000 crore Tata semiconductor fab for electronics, the solar park and the new Data Centre Policy for power and data, and a freight-corridor location for anything heavy.

Pick your sector below to see the specifics: the anchor and the evidence behind it, the land and infrastructure you would plug into, the incentives that apply, how a unit gets set up, and the honest risks worth weighing. The seven manufacturing sectors share the same land economics and single-window process; the data-centre sector is a slightly different animal, driven by a state policy target rather than a DSIRDA job figure, and gated by power and water, which its own page is candid about.

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 We do not sell plots, we do not publish invented reviews or registration numbers, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing.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.
