A 42,000 square metre land parcel in Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) is set to transform into a high-end, sustainable township, marking a fresh chapter in Gujarat’s urban infrastructure growth.
Backed by one of western India’s infrastructure players, the project named Akhilam promises to integrate premium residential units with commercial, retail, and lifestyle amenities, aligning with the region’s rapid industrialisation. The township is set within Dholera’s Activation Area, the epicentre of upcoming infrastructure, green energy, and semiconductor manufacturing. With India’s largest semiconductor fabrication unit coming up in the vicinity spearheaded by a partnership between a leading domestic conglomerate and a global chipmaker—Dholera is swiftly pivoting from a concept city to an economic engine. The semiconductor facility alone is expected to create 20,000 skilled jobs over the next two years, while the entire 5,600-acre Activation Area is projected to employ over 1.5 lakh people by 2030. This surge has triggered an urgent need for premium housing, workplace integration, and sustainable community living all of which Akhilam aims to deliver.
The township plan includes 1,000 premium 1 BHK residences, a business park, retail zones, financial services, club amenities, and a food court. Designed with energy-efficient systems, smart urban design, and low-carbon construction techniques, the project seeks to meet the region’s demand for high-quality, climate-resilient housing solutions. The move also echoes a broader national vision of building net-zero, equitable cities with the infrastructure to support long-term growth. As India reimagines urbanisation through its smart city initiatives, Dholera has emerged as a flagship model of integrated planning and connectivity. Its development is being reinforced by multi-modal infrastructure projects, including the Rs 5,000 crore Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, a greenfield international airport, and access to the Dedicated Freight Corridor at Bhimnath. These catalytic linkages are expected to position Dholera as not only a manufacturing base but a livable, sustainable city where work-life balance and environmental priorities are embedded into the urban framework.
In a region long perceived as speculative ground for future development, projects like Akhilam offer tangible proof of progress. The fact that it is being developed on a plot secured through the first-ever land auction in Dholera SIR underscores a maturing real estate market backed by regulatory transparency and state-led facilitation. This shift from vision to execution indicates increasing confidence from private developers in the long-term viability of Dholera’s economic blueprint. As the government continues to prioritise decentralised development, Dholera’s transformation into a live-work hub sends a strong signal about Gujarat’s evolving urban landscape. Whether this translates into a replicable model for other emerging regions remains to be seen. But for now, Dholera is taking a firm step toward becoming a self-sustaining, future-ready city powered not only by technology but also by inclusive and sustainable living environments.
