Free tools. Nothing here is for sale.
Check a Dholera land deal before you pay for it.
Twenty six tools that do the arithmetic and the paperwork checks a seller will not do for you: what a plot really costs once stamp duty is added, what a registration number means, what the government actually charges to stamp and register a document, who the company selling to you is, and what is genuinely built on the ground.
Dholera SIR stands for Special Investment Region, the government-planned industrial area about 100 km southwest of Ahmedabad. No figure on this site is invented, and every number carries its source and its date.
Start here
Six tools, and not one of them is selling you a plot.
Each one answers a question buyers get wrong most often, and each one shows its working so you can check it yourself. Below these sit eight unit converters and ten pages on what the government charges.
Progress tracker
What is finished, what is being built and what is still only a promise, with the date attached to every claim.
CAL-01Plot cost calculator
Type in the rate you were quoted and get the real total, with Gujarat stamp duty of 4.9 percent and registration of 1 percent added.
VER-01RERA check
Paste a GUJRERA registration number and see what every part of it means, then work through the eight checks that confirm it.
REG-01Builder register
137 companies working around Dholera, each labelled as a developer, a broker or an information site, with real Google ratings where they exist.
IDX-01Price index
What plots are actually being quoted at, published as quotes with their source and date rather than dressed up as an official rate.
CNV-01Unit converter
Sq ft, sq yd, vaar, acre, hectare and bigha, converted, with a warning about the one unit that has no fixed size.
Why this site exists
Almost every Dholera website is run by someone with a plot to sell.
Developers, brokers and the agencies they hire publish nearly everything you can read about Dholera. That is why airport opening dates contradict each other from one site to the next, and why price claims stretch to fit whatever is being sold that week. A site with nothing to sell has no reason to bend a number.
So three rules apply to every page here. No invented or adjusted data. No opinion, flattering or otherwise, about any named developer. No superlatives. Where the honest answer is that nobody knows yet, the page says nobody knows yet.
What the label after each number means
Every figure on this site carries one of these three, so you can tell a settled fact from a press report from a promise.
- DurableA settled fact from a government or primary source. For example, the region covers a planned area of about 920 sq km.
- ReportedPublished by credible press or by the company itself, but not independently confirmed. Always carried with the date it was reported.
- TargetA stated goal or deadline, not a status. Dholera has a long record of these moving, so a target is never written here as though it has already happened.
Convert a unit
Eight units, one of which has no fixed size.
A page for each unit a Dholera brochure uses, with the exact arithmetic and the evidence behind it. The bigha page starts with the reason the government's own rate book never prints the word.
Bigha
Nobody has fixed how big a bigha is. Adjustable size, plus the count that proves the government's own rate book never uses the word.
UNI-02Vaar
One vaar is one square yard exactly, which is why a brochure using both words is not describing two sizes.
UNI-03Square yard
The unit almost every Dholera plot is quoted in, and the one to normalise competing offers into.
UNI-04Square foot
Exactly one ninth of a square yard. The unit built area is quoted in, which is not the same as land.
UNI-05Square metre
What every government rate is published in. Converts the rupee rate as well as the area.
UNI-06Guntha
121 square yards, forty to the acre, and the reason a hectare is 98.842 guntha rather than the 247 that gets published.
UNI-07Acre
4,840 square yards by statute, and one of only two units the government's agricultural rate book prices in.
UNI-08Hectare
10,000 square metres exactly. The unit village records and government notifications use.
Work out a government fee
What the state and the authority actually charge.
Every rate on these pages was read off a government document, with the printed page number recorded. Where a document does not settle a figure, the calculator returns UNKNOWN instead of guessing.
Lease stamp duty
Dholera land is leased for 99 years, not sold, so it is charged under Article 30 and not at the conveyance rate.
FEE-02DICDL allotment cost
The published government rate for eight land uses, the processing fee, the deposit and the fifteen percent area variation.
FEE-03DICDL payment schedule
Turns an allotment letter date into real calendar deadlines, the two extension windows and the interest on each.
FEE-04DICDL transfer fee
The policy has two tables with different numbers. Sources publishing them show one and call it transfer.
FEE-05GujRERA fees
Project registration by type and land area with the caps, plus agent, withdrawal, complaint and appeal fees.
FEE-06Title search fee
The cheapest useful check before you buy. Four years on one survey number costs fifty rupees.
FEE-07Certified copy fee
Priced per page by page size. Separates a full document copy, an Index-2 copy and an encumbrance certificate.
FEE-08Leave and licence
Half a percent under Article 30A, against the lease rates. Which document you sign changes the duty by a multiple.
REF-01Every article, joined
The official stamp duty help file joined to the official registration fee help file, with the printed page number for each rate.
REF-02The female buyer concession
Widely published, and absent from both official help files. What they do contain, and what that does and does not prove.
Straight answers
The four questions people ask most
Is it safe to buy land in Dholera?
It can be, if the plot sits inside the SIR and the project holds a live GUJRERA registration, non-agricultural status and a clear title. GUJRERA is the Gujarat property regulator that qualifying projects must register with, and non-agricultural status is the permission that makes building on farmland legal. The documented risk is farmland well outside the Activation Area, the roughly 22.5 sq km first phase, being marketed as though it were inside it. The verify tool walks you through the exact checks.
What is the current status of Dholera in 2026?
The Ahmedabad to Dholera expressway was reported inaugurated on 31 March 2026. The airport was reported around 80 percent complete in July 2026, with operations targeted for late 2026. The Tata semiconductor plant of Rs 91,000 crore is under construction. Around 300 MW of solar is commissioned. The tracker page carries the dated detail for each of these.
Who runs this site and what does it sell?
It is an independent reference and it sells nothing. No plots are listed, no enquiries are passed on to anyone, and there is no connection to DSIRDA, DICDL or any developer. Every number is labelled with where it came from and when. Where a figure cannot be confirmed, the page says so rather than quoting one anyway.
Where do the numbers come from?
Government and primary sources first: dholera.gujarat.gov.in, PIB press releases, NICDC reports, Central Electricity Authority data for solar, and GUJRERA. Broker figures appear only where no official number exists, and they are always labelled as quotes rather than facts.
