Under the environmental governance framework of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) and the Dholera Industrial City Development Limited (DICDL), all industrial manufacturing units in Dholera SIR that generate chemical or process wastewater must operate an on-site Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) with a dedicated Equalization Tank. Because Dholera operates a centralized Common Effluent Treatment...

Urban transit management across the 250-meter-wide expressways, multi-modal arterial corridors, and internal town planning avenues in Dholera Smart City is governed by an Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) integrated with the city-wide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) telemetry backbone. Unlike conventional static timed signals, Dholera's smart traffic signals, engineered under the...
Under the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) regulations and the Dholera Special Investment Region Development Authority (DSIRDA) Comprehensive General Development Control Regulations (GDCR), all manufacturing units utilizing industrial steam boilers, thermic fluid heaters, and waste heat recovery systems must adhere to strict air emission benchmarks. Because Dholera SIR is master-planned as a...
Water security in the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) is anchored by a multi-tiered bulk storage and hydraulic balancing network designed by the Dholera Industrial City Development Limited (DICDL). Because Dholera is located in an arid, saline coastal ecosystem, groundwater extraction is completely prohibited. Instead, the smart city relies entirely on surface water conveyed from the Narmada...
As home to the massive 5,000 MW Dholera Ultra Mega Solar Park developed by Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL) and major private solar installations across industrial and commercial zones, Dholera SIR enforces rigorous electrical safety setbacks. Utility-scale Central Inverter Stations (CIS) and plot-level rooftop power conversion blocks must comply with statutory clearance codes established by...
Electrical grid substations operating inside Dholera SIR (managed by Torrent Power and GETCO) house high-capacity oil-immersed power transformers ranging from 33kV to 400kV ratings. Because transformer dielectric oil poses catastrophic fire hazards and groundwater contamination risks in Dholera’s coastal marine environment, DSIRDA GDCR Section 11.3 and Central Electricity Authority (CEA) safety...
Dholera Smart City’s multi-modal transit corridors are designed to support high-speed vehicular traffic, autonomous bus rapid transit (BRT) lanes, and dedicated pedestrian pathways. Governed by DICDL Smart Infrastructure Specifications and IRC 35 Road Marking Standards, all paved asphalt and concrete roads inside Dholera SIR must feature standardized, high-durability road markings. The codes...
Industrial manufacturing plants operating inside Dholera SIR must demonstrate that airborne thermal emissions dissipate safely into the atmosphere without causing localized ground-level pollution spikes. Governed by Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) rules and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines, factory air consent applications must incorporate mathematical plume rise ($\Delta h$)...
To reduce peak electricity grid loads, eliminate individual rooftop chillers, and lower greenhouse gas emissions, Dholera Smart City incorporates a centralized District Cooling System (DCS). Master-planned by DICDL, the district cooling network supplies chilled water to commercial towers, semiconductor cleanrooms, data centers, and high-density residential blocks. Technical specifications regulate...
Dholera Smart City operates a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) water conservation framework designed to conserve precious freshwater resources in semi-arid Gujarat. Master-planned by DICDL and regulated under DSIRDA GDCR Section 10.9, all manufacturing plants, semiconductor fabs, and commercial developments are served by a dual-pipe utility network. Potable freshwater is strictly reserved for drinking and...
