Plot Cost for Dholera Smart City: Current Market Prices (2026)
Real estate investing in India frequently feels like a race against time. You're probably staring at Gujarat right now if you missed the Gurgaon boom of the 2000s or the Noida expansion of the 2010s. Specifically, the Dholera Smart City plot price has become the most discussed metric among NRIs and savvy Indian investors.
As of 2026, Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) has transitioned from a "paper project" to a living, breathing industrial hub. With the semiconductor plant starting operations and the International Airport nearing Phase 1 completion, the window for entry-level pricing is rapidly closing.

Current Price Breakdown (2026 Estimates)
The pricing in Dholera is no longer uniform. It varies significantly based on Town Planning (TP) schemes, proximity to the "Activation Area," and land use.
1. Residential Plot Prices
Residential plots are the most sought-after by retail investors.
TP 1 & TP 2 (Prime Zones): Prices range from ₹12,000 to ₹20,000+ per sq. yard.
TP 3, TP 4 & TP 5: Mid-development stage, offering plots between ₹6,000 and ₹11,000 per sq. yard.
Peripheral Zones: Plots further from the central spine can be found at ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 per sq. yard.
2. Commercial & Mixed-Use Plot Prices
Commercial land is limited and commands a premium due to its proximity to the ABCD Building (Administrative and Business Centre for Dholera).
Commercial Rates: ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 per sq. yard.
ABCD Building Zone: Plots in this high-tech district can exceed ₹30,000 per sq. yard depending on the FSI (Floor Space Index).
Why Dholera Plot Prices Are Skyrocketing
Dholera International Airport: This airport is a huge value-unlocker for surrounding land and is scheduled for both passenger and cargo flights.
Ahmedabad to Dholera Road: the journey now takes just 45 minutes due to the 109-mile road.
Plug-and-Play Infrastructure: In many industries, underground services (power, gas, water, and ICT) are already available at borders.
Most Common Questions and Answers (Q&A)
To help you navigate your investment, we’ve answered the most searched questions regarding the Dholera smart city plot price and legalities.
Q1: What price does a building site in Dholera need to cost?
As of 2026, in outer TP zones, the minimal budget for a properly verified, approved by RERA residential plot (about 200 sq. yards) is between ₹8 and ₹12 lakhs. Expect to start at ₹25 lakhs for prime locations like TP 1 or close to the airport.
Q2: Is purchasing a plot inside or outside the Dholera SIR boundary preferable?
Inside SIR: Higher prices (starting ~₹12,000/sq. yard), planned by the government, higher long-term ROI, but construction is restricted until the specific TP phase is "handed over."
Outside SIR: Lower entry prices (₹5,000–₹8,000/sq. yard), individual registry, and immediate construction/usability are often possible. However, you lack the world-class smart city infrastructure provided inside.
Q3: How can I figure out if a Dholera property plot is authorised by RERA?
The Gujarat's RERA (GUJRERA) portal must constantly be verified. To view the approved layout, completion schedules, and developer history, enter the project's registration number. Additionally, ask for the NA (Non-Agricultural) Order and the 7/12 extract to confirm title clarity.
Q4: When can I actually build a house on my Dholera plot?
For plots inside the SIR, construction permission is granted once the infrastructure in that specific Town Planning (TP) scheme is 100% complete and "possession" is officially handed over by the DICDL. Many areas in TP 1 and the Activation Area are reaching this stage in 2026.
Q5: Can NRIs invest in Dholera Smart City?
Yes. NRIs can legally purchase residential and commercial plots in Dholera under FEMA regulations. Payments must be made through NRE/NRO accounts. Many developers now offer virtual site tours and digital documentation for overseas investors.
Q6: What are the biggest risks of investing in Dholera?
The primary risks include:
Liquidity: Land is a long-term asset; "flipping" for a profit in 6 months is unlikely.
Fraud: Buying "unapproved" agricultural land marketed as "Smart City plots."
Zoning: Buying a plot in a zone reserved for industrial use when you intended to build a home.
Conclusion
The Dholera smart city plot price reflects the birth of a new India. While the "rock bottom" prices of 2018 are gone, 2026 represents the "early-maturity" phase where infrastructure is finally visible on the ground. Whether you are an NRI or a local investor, Dholera offers a rare chance to buy into a government-backed, planned future.
