Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) is a greenfield industrial city planned and located approximately 100 km South West of Ahmedabad, in Gujarat. Dholera spans approximately 920 sq km and encompasses 22 villages of the Dholera Taluka in the District of Ahmedabad. It is envisaged to be larger than Ahmedabad and is strategically located between the industrial cities of Ahmedabad, Baroda, Rajkot and Bhavnagar.

Of the total 920 sq km area, Dholera's immediate city development area is approximately 22 sq km and will be operational by the end of 2019. The entire city is expected to be developed by 2042. It is envisaged to be a world-class destination with excellent infrastructure and a self-sustaining ecosystem with industries being the major economic driver.

The city will provide opportunities for setting up of manufacturing units that will be supported by excellent connectivity via road, rail, air and sea.

WHAT IS AN SIR?

Special Investment Regions (SIR) are self-governed global centres of economic activities. These designated regions in the State of Gujarat operate under the Special Investment Region Act of 2009, which enables the State Government to establish, develop, operate and regulate Special Investment Regions. Investment Regions have an area of more than 100 sq km, while industrial areas have an area of more than 50 sq km. The Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) functions as the apex authority, and Regional Development Authorities (RDA) have been set-up for individual SIRs.

Gujarat, India's westernmost state, has varied terrain and rich cultural & economic heritage. It is strategically located and is well-connected to the major cities of the world, both by air and sea routes. The state also acts as a gateway to landlocked states of India, connecting them by road, rail and air, thereby boosting their trading opportunities and potential.

Leading sector-wise growth: Under the Make in India program, 25 industrial sectors have been identified as focus areas. Gujarat has capitalized on these focus areas.

In Phase I of the DMIC (Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor) program, eight manufacturing nodes are planned to be developed including Gujarat's Dholera Special Investment Region.

The State has a total of 45 ports, with Pipavav port being the closest to DSIR - located at a distance of ~200 km. The ports of Kandla and Mundra are the major ports in the State and are located at distance of 334 km and 376 km respectively, from DSIR.

Strategically located – Gujarat, by virtue of its location, is the gateway to the West having easy access to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. OUR HERITAGE – THE HISTORY OF LOTHAL

Lothal is one of the most prominent cities of the ancient Indus valley civilization, located in the Bhal region of the modern state of Gujarat and dating back to 3700 BC. It was one of the earliest trading civilizations and were pioneers in foreign trade, with its trade of beads, gems and valuable ornaments reaching the far corners of West Asia and Africa. They were pioneers of town planning, science and trading, had a well-developed economy, urban culture and architectural developments. Dholera, in close proximity to Lothal aims to tap into the rich mercantile heritage of Gujarat.

HISTORY OF LOTHAL

Before the arrival of Harappan people (c. 2400 B.C.E.), Lothal had been a small village next to the river, providing access to the mainland from the Gulf of Khambhat.

The meaning of Lothal (a combination of loth and thal) in Gujarati, 'The Mound or Tell of the Dead' matches the name of the city of Mohenjodaro in Sindhi. People in villages neighbouring Lothal had known of the presence of an ancient town and some human remains. The comparatively small dimensions of the main city have led archaeologists to speculate that Lothal had been a small settlement, its 'dock' perhaps serving as an irrigation tank.

Lothal provides the largest collection of antiquities in the archaeology of modern India.

ECONOMY & CRAFT

The indigenous peoples maintained a prosperous economy, attested by the discovery of copper objects, beads and semi-precious stones. They were one of the earliest trading civilizations and pioneers in foreign trade & progress.

Ceramic wares had been made of fine clay and smooth, micaceous red surfaces. A new technique of firing pottery under partly-oxidizing and reducing conditions had been improved by them. Lothal's sheltered harbor, rich cotton & rice-growing environment and bead-making industry attracted the Harappans.

The beads and gems of Lothal had been in great demand in the west. The settlers lived peacefully with the Red Ware people, who adopted their lifestyle—evidenced from the flourishing trade and changing working techniques. Harappans also began producing the indigenous ceramic goods, adopting the manner from the natives.

CHALLENGES FACED

Tropical storms and floods caused immense destruction, destabilizing the culture and ultimately causing its demise. Topographical analysis also show signs that at about the time of its demise, the region suffered from aridity or weakened monsoon rainfall. Thus, the cause for the abandonment of the city may have been changes in the climate as well as natural disasters, as suggested by environmental magnetic records.

Lothal had been based upon a mound in a salt marsh inundated by tide. Remote sensing and topographical studies revealed an ancient, meandering river adjacent to Lothal - an ancient extension of the northern river channel bed of a tributary of the Bhogavo river. There is evidence that suggests the presence of a strong tidal influence upon the city. Also, tidal waters ingressed up to and beyond the city, which may have been a cause for their downfall.

A NEW ERA FOR PROSPERITY

The best minds in engineering, architecture, planning and business have come together with a vision to revive the once prosperous and thriving, ancient planned city of Lothal.

Benchmarked against the best, Dholera is being developed with best-in-class infrastructure, plug & play utilities, planned communities and intelligent transportation supported by sustainable modes of power and water, through solar and wind energy. NICDIT
