Dholera SIR Draws Global Investors, NRIs as India’s Semiconductor Hub

Dholera SIR, India’s first planned smart city, is witnessing a surge in investor interest, particularly from NRIs in the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This momentum is fuelled by Dholera’s emergence as India’s semiconductor hub, with four of the five upcoming semiconductor plants being built in the region.

Lalit Parihar, MD, Aaiji Group, noted a sharp rise in international investor visits and land inquiries over the past year, calling it unprecedented. The Gujarat government has allocated Rs 2 billion (bn) for an integrated township and Rs 1 bn for the Gujarat Institute of Technology (GIT) to support the region’s growth in green energy, 
semiconductors, fintech, and aerospace.

Key infrastructure projects, including the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, Bhimnath-Dholera rail line, and an international cargo airport, are set to boost connectivity. With over 100 companies, including Tata Electronics’ Rs 910 bn semiconductor project, Dholera is poised to lead Gujarat’s next industrial revolution.
