Zones and town-planning schemes
The six TP schemes and the land-use zones, with sourced areas from the DSIRDA Sanctioned Development Plan.
Dholera's developable land is not one undifferentiated block. It is organised into six town-planning schemes delivered in three phases, and into defined land-use zones within them. For a buyer, that structure is the difference between a serviced Final Plot with road access and utility reservations, and raw land that merely sits inside the region's boundary. The scheme and Final Plot number of a specific parcel, and its proximity to the Activation Area and the expressway and rail corridors, are what set its value and its readiness. Below are the schemes with their sourced areas, then the land-use zone types the plan defines.
How this page is sourced
Everything on this site is held to one standard so you can trust it enough to act on. Every figure is tagged by where it comes from: green for government or official sources, amber for national or trade press, and red for broker or unverified claims, which we flag rather than repeat as fact. Every figure carries a date, because Dholera moves and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything framed as a future event, an opening, a first chip, a completion, stays labelled as a target until a government source confirms it happened. We do not sell plots, we do not publish invented reviews or registration numbers, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing. The full method and the primary sources are on the sources and methodology page.
Read the tags as a confidence meter. A green figure is something you can plan against today. An amber figure is credible but worth confirming before you build a decision on it. A red figure is a claim we are showing you so that you can recognise it, not one we stand behind. When two sources disagree, we say so and show the more authoritative one rather than averaging them into a number that is nobody's actual figure. The point of all of this is simple: you should be able to act on what you read here, and check any of it yourself, without wondering whether a number was quietly invented to make the picture look better than it is.
