Dholera SIR receives ₹610 crore for trunk infrastructure in Gujarat Budget 2026-27, boosting semiconductor ecosystem growth, smart city development, and industrial corridor expansion. Explore key highlights and investment impact.
Dholera SIR in Focus: ₹610 Crore Trunk Infrastructure Boost Under Gujarat Budget 2026-27
Ahmedabad: In a decisive push toward future-ready industrial growth, the Gujarat government has placed Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) at the centre of the Gujarat Budget 2026-27, announcing a ₹610 crore allocation for trunk infrastructure. The move is being seen as a strategic step to accelerate Dholera’s transformation into a global hub for semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and smart city development.
🔹 What the ₹610 Crore Trunk Infrastructure Means?
The allocation will strengthen core infrastructure — including modern road networks, underground power distribution, water and wastewater systems, ICT-enabled smart utilities, and logistics connectivity. Phase 1 of the infrastructure rollout is already underway, covering the upcoming airport, internal transport systems, and integrated utility corridors.
Industry leaders believe this trunk infrastructure investment is critical to attracting large-scale semiconductor fabrication units, electronics manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing projects, and hyperscale data centres.
🔹 Boost to Semiconductor Ecosystem
The Gujarat Budget 2026-27 has also earmarked:
₹1,100 crore under the Gujarat Semiconductor Policy
₹150 crore under the Gujarat Electronics Policy
These provisions reinforce Dholera SIR’s positioning as a semiconductor ecosystem hub, aligning with India’s broader ambition to become self-reliant in chip manufacturing.
🔹 Smart City & Industrial Corridor Growth
Dholera is not just an industrial zone — it is planned as a greenfield smart city within the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). With dedicated water pipeline investments, bulk supply networks, and internal infrastructure upgrades, the region is being engineered for uninterrupted industrial operations.
Experts say the Gujarat 2026-27 Budget signals long-term confidence in Dholera SIR as:
- A semiconductor manufacturing destination
- A next-generation smart city
- A high-growth industrial corridor
🔹 Why This Matters?
With ₹610 crore dedicated to trunk infrastructure, Dholera SIR moves closer to becoming India’s most ambitious industrial smart city project. As infrastructure builds momentum, investors, manufacturers, and technology firms are watching closely.
The Gujarat Budget 2026-27 may well mark the turning point that transforms Dholera from vision to reality — positioning it as a global benchmark for integrated industrial development.
