Inside the Ahmedabad-Dholera MRTS Metro Project
Mass transit is the foundation of any global smart city, and for Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) is designed to be its central transit spine. Connecting the industrial city directly to Ahmedabad and the upcoming Dholera International Airport, this fast-rail link will transform daily commutes and property valuations alike.
For real estate buyers, understanding the metro route, station lists, and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zoning FSI benefits is crucial to identifying high-growth land plots in 2026.
The Metro Route & Station List
The Ahmedabad-Dholera Metro is an elevated transit corridor designed to run alongside the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway. It connects APMC in Ahmedabad to the industrial zones and airport in Dholera.
Here is the station list and transit-oriented zoning details:
| Station Phase | Station Name / Location | Major Connectivity / Zone | FSI Allowance (TOD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 Link | Ahmedabad APMC | Northern Terminus / Metro Grid Connection | Standard |
| Phase 1 Link | Vasna / Sarkhej | Urban Ahmedabad Exchange | Standard |
| Dholera Line | Fedara Junction | Expressway Mid-Point Interchange | Up to 3.0 |
| Dholera Line | Dholera International Airport | Aviation & Logistics Zone | Up to 5.0 |
| Dholera Line | TP 1 Terminal | Core Residential & Smart Utilities | Up to 5.0 |
| Dholera Line | TP 2 Terminal | Semiconductor Fab & ABCD Control Building | Up to 5.0 |
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) & FSI Benefits
To promote high-density, smart urban planning, the Dholera Special Investment Region Development Authority (DSIRDA) has designated a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Corridor along the metro tracks.
- What is the TOD Corridor? It covers land parcels located within 500 meters of the metro rail alignment and station entrances.
- FSI Incentive: While standard residential plots in Dholera SIR have a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 1.8 to 2.2, properties within the TOD corridor are eligible for an enhanced FSI of up to 4.0.
- Impact on Value: A higher FSI allows developers to build taller commercial buildings and high-density apartments, significantly increasing the land value per square yard.
Integration with the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway
The metro corridor runs parallel to the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway (National Highway 751). This 109 km long, 4-lane (expandable to 8-lane) access-controlled expressway is designed for high-speed travel.
- Speed Limit: The designated speed limit for cars on the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway is 120 km/h, reducing travel time between Ahmedabad and Dholera to under 60 minutes.
- Combined Impact: The dual expressway-metro corridor forms the industrial transit belt of Gujarat, making commuting seamless for the workforce of the Tata Semiconductor Fab and other industrial units.
