Gujarat Chief Minister (CM) Bhupendra Patel has recently visited Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) that the state government is planning to develop as a semiconductor hub. Patel reviewed the ongoing development work at the Dholera SIR, including the Smart City project, which is being built with world-class infrastructure under the guidance of Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi.
Officials said 95% work of the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway has been completed and significant advancement has been achieved in other major infrastructure projects. Infrastructure facilities, including roads, underground facilities and plug-and-play infrastructure, have been completed in Dholera.
Essential facilities, such as the water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, common effluent treatment plant and ICT (information and communication technology) infrastructure, along with a 300 MW solar park have been completed.
The state government is working on developing Dholera Smart City into a ‘Semicon City’. As part of this initiative, a semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem is being developed within the Dholera Smart City, with both national and international semiconductor manufacturing companies being in the process of establishing their units there.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambrish Parajiya, Managing Director (MD) of GAP Group, said, “Dholera is poised to emerge as one of the most happening industrial clusters not just in Gujarat but in the entire country, and it was our honour to showcase our project before Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel. With our world-class township project, we are ensuring that the supply of high-quality residential and commercial spaces in Dholera keeps pace with the industrial development taking place in the region.”
