DICDL allotment cost
This works out what a Dholera government land allotment costs at the authority's own published rates, including the processing fee and the deposit. It matters because those rates are a 99 year lease price from the government, not what a private plot sells for, and the two get quoted interchangeably.
Updated 11 August 2026. Rates read from the official land pricing page on 11 August 2026, which states it was last updated 07/07/2026.
The earnest money deposit is adjusted against the ten percent down payment, so it is shown separately rather than added to the total. If the down payment is not paid in time, the deposit and the processing fee are both forfeited.
This is a government price, and it is not a market price
The eight rates below are what the Dholera authority publishes for allotting land itself, on a 99 year lease. They are not what a private plot changes hands for, and quoting them as though they were a market rate is one of the more common misreadings around Dholera.
The authority's own wording is that allotment is done for 99 years on a leasehold basis and that the rates exclude applicable GST, registration fees and stamp duty. Land is allotted as it is and where it is, so filling and levelling are the allottee's cost.

Stamp duty and registration on the lease itself are not part of this calculation. Work those out on the lease stamp duty page, and the payment dates on the payment schedule page.
