> The 109 km Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway features four primary exit points that dictate property prices: Sarkhej/SP Ring Road, Sanand industrial junction, TP 2 Gateway Interchange (main High Access Corridor access), and the Airport Corridor Exit in TP 3.
Technical Layout & Route Map Overview
The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway is designed for high-speed transit with a design speed of 120 km/h. It originates from the Sardar Patel (SP) Ring Road near Sarkhej in Ahmedabad, runs southward through Dholera SIR, and terminates at Adhelai in Bhavnagar.
Flanked by a planned Semi-High-Speed Rail (Metro) Corridor, the expressway features dedicated service roads, automated toll plazas, and massive grade-separated interchanges. For property buyers, the closer a plot is to an official exit ramp, the higher its commercial viability and Floor Space Index (FSI) potential.
Construction is monitored under the official NHAI contract reference NHAI/Expressway-Pkg-1/2026/08. At Dholera Acres, our site acquisition team filters plots based on their proximity to these transit ramps, prioritizing properties within 5 km of an expressway interchange to ensure long-term logistical and commercial value.
