Where Is Dholera Smart City Located?
This is one of the most common questions about the project. Here is a clear answer to where is Dholera Smart City, plus distances and the ways to reach it.
Short answer
Distances at a glance
| From | Approx. distance |
|---|---|
| Ahmedabad city | Around 100 km |
| Dholera International Airport | Within the Dholera region |
| Vadodara | Around 150 km (varies by route) |
| Gulf of Khambhat coast | Close to the southern edge of the region |
Distances vary by the exact project and route, so always confirm the road distance to a specific plot rather than the region as a whole.

How is it connected?
- Air: Dholera International Airport is planned inside the region. See the Dholera airport page.
- Road: Expressway and highway links are planned to connect Dholera with Ahmedabad and the wider corridor.
- Rail: Freight and passenger rail links form part of the long-term plan.
How to reach Dholera
- Reach Ahmedabad by flight, train or road.
- Travel south-west towards the Dholera SIR by car; the drive from Ahmedabad is roughly a few hours depending on the route and road conditions.
- For a specific project, ask for the exact route and a map pin before you travel.
We arrange site visits so you can see the land, the roads and the surrounding development in person.
Why location matters for buyers
Because the city is planned across a large area, two plots "in Dholera" can be very different in value based on distance to finished roads and the airport corridor. Compare location carefully and read our plot price guide and the Dholera Smart City guide.
Nearby areas and landmarks
Dholera sits close to the Gulf of Khambhat coast, south-west of Ahmedabad. The surrounding region includes villages and agricultural land that form part of, or border, the Dholera SIR. Because the city is being built across largely open land, the nearest finished road, the airport corridor and active construction are the landmarks that matter most when judging a plot.
Travel time and options
| From | Best option | Approx. time |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmedabad | Car / taxi | Several hours by road |
| Ahmedabad Airport | Car / taxi | Longer, plus city travel |
| Vadodara | Car / taxi | Depends on the route |
| Dholera International Airport | Within the region | Short drive to nearby plots |
Times vary with traffic and road conditions, so confirm the exact route for the project you plan to visit.
What to check on your site visit
- Whether the road in front of the plot is finished or only planned.
- How far the plot is from the airport corridor and active development.
- Whether water, power and drainage work has reached the area.
- The match between the actual plot and the approved layout map.
Why "Dholera" can mean different places
Because Dholera SIR is so large, the single word "Dholera" can point to very different locations, from an early activation area with roads already in place to open land still waiting for services. Always ask for a map pin, the TP scheme and the road distance to finished infrastructure before you compare two plots.
Best time to visit Dholera
If you plan a site visit, aim for cooler months and daylight hours so you can clearly see the roads, plot boundaries and surrounding development. Carry the exact map pin and the layout plan, and ask a local representative to walk the plot with you. Seeing the land in person is the single best way to judge a project before you pay.
Getting the exact location of a plot
A region-level answer is not enough for a buying decision. Always ask the seller for a map pin, the town planning (TP) scheme, the survey number and the road distance to the nearest finished road and the airport corridor. With those details you can compare two plots honestly instead of trusting a general location claim.
