Plotted developments must register with the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority before marketing. A registration means a dedicated escrow account holds a share of funds and the developer cannot change the approved layout, plot count or road widths without approval.
How to check
- Go to gujrera.gujarat.gov.in and open Registered Projects.
- Filter District to Ahmedabad and search the promoter or project name.
- Confirm the registration number, validity and quarterly progress.
- Match the survey and Final Plot numbers to the parcel you are being sold.
We maintain a short list of verified registered Dholera projects internally; the authoritative source is always the live GUJRERA portal at the time you buy.
What a registration actually protects
Registration is not a rubber stamp. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, a registered plotted development must keep a defined share of buyer funds in a dedicated escrow account tied to that project, which limits a promoter's ability to divert your money to another scheme. The promoter also cannot quietly change the sanctioned layout, the number of plots, the size of common areas or the width of internal roads once the plan is approved, without going back for approval. That is why the registration number matters more than the brochure: it binds the promoter to a plan you can inspect. The flip side is that an unregistered project gives you none of these protections, so a missing or invalid number is not a paperwork gap, it is the whole risk.
The habit that protects you
Make verification a step you complete before money moves, not after. Match the registration to the exact survey and Final Plot numbers of the parcel you are being sold, check that the registration is current and not lapsed, and read the quarterly progress the promoter is required to file. If a seller cannot produce a valid number for a plotted development, or the number does not match the parcel, treat that as the decision rather than a detail to sort out later.
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.
