The Gujarat government has allocated 10 acres of land to the Tata Group for the construction of residential apartments at Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), around 110 km from Ahmedabad. This move supports Tata Electronics (TEPL), which is setting up its first semiconductor fabrication unit in the area.

According to Mona Khandhar, Principal Secretary, Science and Technology Department, Gujarat Government, “The government has given 10 acres to Tata Group for developing their own housing complex. Initially, they will build more than 500 apartments.”

To strengthen Dholera’s social infrastructure, Dholera Industrial City Development (DICDL) has also auctioned plots to private developers for constructing an additional 1,000 service apartments. This is part of the government's broader plan to develop Dholera SIR into a greenfield smart city.

Dholera is poised to become a semiconductor hub with at least three semiconductor projects in the pipeline, including a Rs 91,000 crore mega semiconductor fab facility in partnership with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC). The project is expected to generate 20,000 skilled direct and indirect employment in the region. TEPL’s fabrication facility is slated for completion by Q2/FY28.<
