The Activation Area encompasses 22.54 sq km located within Town Planning Scheme 2 (TP2A). It was designated by the government as the operational pilot zone equipped with complete plug-and-play trunk infrastructure, including underground sensor-based utilities, ICT networks, water treatment plants, and the dedicated Administrative and Business Centre (ABCD Building).

The Dholera Special Investment Region Development Authority (DSIRDA) is the apex statutory planning and regulatory body constituted under the Gujarat SIR Act 2009. DSIRDA exercises jurisdiction over the master planning, micro Town Planning (TP) schemes, building permissions, and land-use regularizations across the entire 920 sq km region.

Land titles are verified through official Gujarat revenue records via the AnyRoR (Any Records of Rights Anywhere in Gujarat) and e-Dhara portals. Due diligence involves examining Village Form 7/12 (ownership and land classification), Form 8-A (holding register), Form 6 (mutation history/Hakk Patrak), and securing a minimum 30-year Search and Title Clearance certificate from a qualified legal practitioner.

Industrial land allotments directly within GIDC/DSIRDA industrial zones are long-term leasehold parcels allocated to operational manufacturing entities based on state approval committees. Outside these direct government industrial allocations, private lands in adjoining town planning zones are held under freehold title, requiring NA (Non-Agricultural) clearance and TP scheme compliance prior to development.

The notified Dholera Industrial Development Plan prioritizes heavy and high-tech sectors: Semiconductor and Electronics System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM), Defense and Aerospace, Electric Vehicle (EV) assembly and battery production, Solar panel and green energy equipment manufacturing, Heavy Engineering, and General Manufacturing under zero-liquid-discharge guidelines.

Dholera International Airport (Navagam) is being developed under Dholera International Airport Company Limited (DIACL) with equity participation from AAI and the State Government to handle domestic, international, and heavy air-cargo logistics. Ground connectivity is facilitated via the dedicated 109 km 4-lane Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway and the planned MRTS semi-high-speed rail corridor.

Under the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development framework, expansive regional revenue Survey Numbers are reconstituted into organized Town Planning (TP) Schemes. During this process, irregular parcels are reorganized, 30% to 50% land contribution is dedicated for public trunk infrastructure, and owners are allotted demarcated 'Final Plots' (FP) with unencumbered road access and utility provisions.

All land in Gujarat is classified as agricultural by default. To execute any residential, commercial, or industrial construction, an official NA permission must be sanctioned by the District Collector or DSIRDA under the Gujarat Land Revenue Code. Developing or subdividing plots without sanctioned NA and approved layout plans is prohibited under state development regulations.

All primary utilities — potable water lines, recycled wastewater pipes, stormwater channels, power distribution, city gas lines, and fiber-optic broadband — are routed entirely through underground utility ducts integrated with SCADA telemetry. The City Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) monitors utility pressure, leakages, and energy consumption in real time.

Under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations and FEMA guidelines, NRIs and OCIs are permitted to purchase legally converted residential or commercial real estate in India without prior RBI approval. However, agricultural land cannot be directly purchased by NRIs unless granted specific statutory clearance or converted to Non-Agricultural (NA) title prior to conveyance.
