The proposed special investment
region (SIR) will be the first-of-its-kind to be created in the state. The land
prices here have quadrupled in the last two years. Soon there will be 185
kilometres of six-lane roads. The tiny village with a population of 4,500,
mostly farmers who grow wheat, jowar and cotton, is prospering and looking
forward to a sea-change.
The roads are being built at a
cost of Rs 1,584 crore to be linked with the Delhi-Mumbai dedicated freight
corridor.Dholera also has greater possibilities of building modern port
facilities. The Adani group might consider plans to build an eco-friendly port
here.
Dholera, which is situated in Ahmedabad
district in the Gulf of Khambhat, is in proximity to road transport
infrastructure and sea-port facilities. And what's more, the government has
proposed to build an international airport near Fedara, 30 km from Dholera
ensuring that the BEST PROPERTY DEALS
become the USP of this region.
The manufacturing zone has been
planned keeping in mind the windflow pattern so that industrial pollution flies
out of the city. Dholera will be connected to the world through a new
international airport on its outskirts, to the rest of the country through a
new railway line and to Ahmedabad through a ten-lane highway.
The entire city will run on a BRT
system that can be converted into a light rail transport system in the future
Every housing, office, and industrial complex will be within 10 minutes walking
distance of some form of public transport. All utilities including parking spots will be
underground so that there is enough space to build pavements for pedestrians
and dedicated cycle tracks It will be divided into five business districts and
two knowledge zones.
The city will rely heavily on
solar energy for its power requirements although a dedicated 1, 300 MW power
plant is planned. A hierarchy of roads, from the main ten-lane artery cutting
the city into two to four-lane interior streets, is planned for smooth traffic
flow and proper intra-city connectivity.
India’s is urbanizing,so much
that estimates suggest nearly 600 million of Indians will be living in cities
by 2030, up from 290 million as reported in the 2001 census. Alongside the
hordes of Indians go the jobs and the money as well Dholera SIR would
generate 70% of the new jobs created by 2030, produce more than 70% of the
Indian gross domestic product and drive a fourfold increase in per capital
incomes across the country.
