State-of-the-art, smart and sustainable infrastructure facilities set Dholera apart. Its world class infrastructure is benchmarked against the best practices from around the world. It is unique as it is the first city in India where all underground utilities like gas, power, potable water, recycled water, sewage pipes and storm water are pre-planned for wholesome development, with capability of handling the growing demands of the city.

Dholera’s design includes amenities to cater to the health, safety, educational, entertainment, cultural and spiritual needs of inhabit- ants, and they have been strategically located to provide safe and easy access.

From neighborhood level farmers’ market to dedicated zones for hawkers, dispensaries to emergency services with quick response time, petrol pumps to electric vehicle charging stations, taxis and auto rickshaw stands to bicycle parking, public toilets to spaces for public art and cinema halls to religious facilities. Education infra- structure ranging from early childhood education to Anganwadis to integrated schools, from colleges to skill development centers, Dholera has it all.

Right from the start, the vision has been to have a ‘Plug & Play’ approach wherein all the land parcels are fully ICT enabled and completely built up infrastructure is offered right at plot level. This will be an underlying enabler in all spheres of the city and will integrate multiple essential disciplines, which will in turn facilitate ease of doing business and holistic living, along with a platform for efficient operations and administration.

A single window system is in place to streamline the G2B (Government to Business) interaction that will greatly reduce procedures and approvals required for various aspects of business.
This includes:
1. Ready list of permits (as per industry type)
2. Single point of contact for every business
3. Permits/Approvals granted within a pre-fixed period

Dholera’s Command and Control Centre has been designed to oversee safety & security, and will seamlessly merge city departments to enable collaboration for efficiency.

Dholera Industrial City focuses on catering to the multi-dimensional needs of businesses and industries. While they will create jobs and opportunities, the social infrastructure will ensure that the employees and their families can live close to work.

A hierarchy of functional open green spaces including neighbor- hood parks, community parks, linear park within walking distances along with recreation and sports zone will provide places to play and recreate – thus laying a strong foundation for a Live-¬Work-¬Play community. There are also special zones that have been allocated for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing
