Government Funding & Infrastructure Budgets

The development of Dholera SIR is structured in phases, with funding allocated to specific trunk infrastructure, connectivity projects, and utility systems.

Trunk Infrastructure in the Activation Area

The Government of India approved an initial fund of ₹2,784 Crore to build the trunk infrastructure for the 22.5-square-kilometer Activation Area (TP 1). This budget was spent entirely on: * Smart Utilities: Setting up 72 kilometers of utility ducts, potable water networks, and recycled water lines. * Command Center (ABCD Building): Designing the administrative hub and ICT center. * Expressway and Roads: Constructing the main access roads and arterial networks.

Major Connectivity Project Costs

To connect the smart city area with regional logistics hubs, the central government has authorized massive connectivity budgets:

Private Industrial Investment Stages

The public infrastructure spending has served as a catalyst for massive private capital inflows. Dholera is transitioning from a construction stage to an active industrial manufacturing phase:

• Tata Electronics Fab: A massive investment of ₹91,000 Crore to establish India’s first commercial semiconductor fabrication facility in partnership with Taiwan’s PSMC.
• Tillman Global Data Centers: A planned ₹83,000 Crore hyperscale data center park to establish AI-ready compute power.
• Adani-Embraer Aerospace: An industrial partnership focusing on regional aircraft assembly and maintenance hubs.
