The DICDL Allotment Process
Unlike residential plotting schemes, purchasing industrial land in Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) involves a formal application process through DICDL’s single-window clearance portal at the ABCD building:
- Application Submission: Manufacturers submit detailed project reports (DPR), detailing water usage, power requirements, effluent discharge parameters, and employment generation forecasts.
- Scrutiny and Land Allocation: DICDL evaluates the application’s compatibility with neighbor industries. Plots are grouped by environmental impact class (Green, Orange, Red categories).
- Allotment Letter & Agreement: On approval, DICDL issues the allotment letter, and the manufacturer enters into a long-term lease agreement.
Utility Grid Infrastructure & Power Slabs
Manufacturing setups require massive, uninterrupted utilities. Dholera SIR is built to provide uninterrupted grid utility access:
- Uninterrupted Smart Power Grid: Torrent Power manages a 400kV/220kV/66kV grid system, providing direct sub-station interfaces with dual-redundant lines to prevent production downtime.
- Tariff Incentives: Under the Gujarat State Electronics Policy, semiconductor fabs and EMS units qualify for subsidized power tariffs and green solar offsets.
- Recycled Industrial Water: DICDL provides tertiary-treated municipal wastewater directly to industrial zones, conserving pure potable groundwater for residential zones.
Industrial Zoning & Utility Specifications
This matrix outlines the specifications for industrial layouts inside the master plan:
| Industrial Zone Class | Allowed FSI | ROW (Access Road) | Target Manufacturing Cluster | Key Utility Interface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electronics & EMS (Green) | 1.8 | 30 to 45 meters | Semiconductor fabs, cleanroom packaging | Sub-station backup lines |
| General Engineering (Orange) | 1.6 | 45 to 55 meters | Automotive parts, precision tools | Recycled water pipeline |
| Heavy Manufacturing (Red) | 1.2 | 55+ meters | Heavy steel, chemicals, EV battery parks | Direct gas line, effluent outfall |
Key Takeaways for Industrial Buyers
- Check Environmental Categories: Verify that your manufacturing class matches the zone’s environmental category. Heavy chemical plants cannot buy land in green electronics zones.
- FSI Limits are Fixed: Industrial zones are strictly capped at an FSI of 1.2 to 1.8 under Table 10-6 depending on road width. Proximity to wider roads allows higher build-up density.
- Single-Window Clearances: Take advantage of the DICDL single-window clearance portal located in the ABCD building. Building plan sanctions are issued digitally within 30 days of submission.
