The Maiden Smart City: Dholera SIR 

India has always been divided into two significant parts: The rural India where the soul of the country resides and the urban India which has been a key place for industrialization.

However, the recent years have been witness to the thinning of boundaries of the two distinct parts of India. The main reason for the same has been migration in abundance from the rural India to urban one as people have become desirous of seeking better employment opportunities that can help them raise their earning bar. Though agriculture still remains the number one industry in our country, industrialization has paved way for better opportunities in the cities. While the lateral shift helped in better income levels, the perils of rapid urbanization soon followed.


With increased rate of urbanization, the existing cities were overburdened leaving the residents in a situation where their standard of living fell incessantly. Thus arose the need for an immediate and a sustainable solution to this issue which came in form of creation of 100 smart cities; the first one being Greenfield Smart City Dholera SIR.

These cities shall work on a dual concept which is better termed as rurbanization. While they shall be equipped with latest and state-of-art amenities, the soul of the cities shall remain rural. With Dholera SIR being the maiden smart city, it also is the biggest and only Greenfield project amongst the 100 smart cities to be developed in India. The city shall cover 920 square kilometers, 100 kilometers from Ahmedabad. It also draws immense importance due its being close to the DMIC corridor which shall soon be the industrial backbone of India.

Dholera SIR Latest Development Work Status:

Similar to other smart cities, Dholera Smart City shall widely use Information and Communication Technology for smarter functioning. Real time monitoring and usage of data to create efficiency within the administrative systems shall also be important towards conservation of natural resources and reduction of cost. Green building concept shall also be introduced in the smart city which shall be built keeping sustainable environment and healthier living in mind.

The city shall be developed in three phases and is expected to get completed by the year 2040. As per execution in-charge ‘Aecom’, the city can be expected to be good for residing shortly and should be home to about 1 lakh residents by the year 2022 to 2023. Dholera SIR is being planned as a city with uncompromised infrastructure and superlative amenities and civic utilities which shall soon be an inspiration for the upcoming smart cities.

The planners and architects appointed for development of the maiden smart city are vigorously at task and shall hopefully present to the Indians a ‘Dholera SIR that could only be a part of someone’s imagination a few years ago.

Dholera solar park is a 5GW solar power project being developed in two phases in Dholera village, approximately 80km from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Gujarat Urja Nigam Limited (GUVN) has been developing the project through public-private partnership (PPP).

The company is working with Gujarat Power Corporation (GPCL), Gujarat Electric Transmission Corporation (GETCO), Solar Energy Corporation (SECI) and Power Grid Corporation of India (POWERGRID) for the implementation of the project.

The first 1GW-phase is being developed with an investment of Rs5bn ($695m) by GPCL, while the second 4GW-phase will be developed by SECI with an estimated investment of Rs20bn ($2.7bn).

The solar park is a part of the government’s plan for establishing India’s first world-class greenfield Dholera smart city project announced in 2009. It also supports the government’s aim to produce 175GW of clean energy by 2022.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy approved the project in May 2018, while conditional approval for the first phase of development was received in February 2019.

Dholera solar park location

Dholera solar park will be located at a Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) type 1B land within the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), situated along the Gulf of Khambhat region, Gujarat.

Spanning 920km², DSIR encompasses 22 Gujarat villages and will be developed by the government-constituted body Dholera Special Investment Regional Development Authority (DSIRDA).

It is well-connected by road, rail, airport and seaport and lies close to the megacities of Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar and Vadodara.

The site has a high coastal vulnerability index as it is situated in a low-lying area at the delta of five rivers, Padaliyo, Lilka, Utavali, Sukhbhadar and Ker. It is an inter-tidal and highly eroding area with corrosive air.

Dholera solar park details

The solar park will cover a total area of 8,595ha, which has been divided into 11 blocks with 27 plots in each block.

Each plot will have 100MW, 160MW and 200MW capacity blocks.

Solar photovoltaic modules based on poly-crystalline silicon technology will be installed at the solar park.

The modules will be mounted on fixed and grouted plain cement concrete (PCC) foundation and installed at a pedestal height between 380mm and 450mm due to the tidal and flood effect. The silicon rubber edge sealing will protect and support the module.

The maximum module power rating will reach just under 280Wp, while the photoelectric conversion module efficiency will be more than 15%. The junction boxes will be made of thermoplastic.

Power Transmission from Dholera Solar Park

The power generated by the Dholera solar park will be transmitted through a 49km-long, 33kV underground cable network, including high and low-voltage lines. The cable network will be built across the park to transport the generated power from the solar panels to pooling substations and into a 33kV / 400kV substation.

The power will step-up twice from 33kV to 200kV at the pooling substation and then to 400kV at Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) grid substation. The substation and pooling station will be constructed at an elevated height to avoid flood damage.

GETCO will evacuate the power generated in phase one, while the power generated in phase two will be evacuated by POWERGRID.

Infrastructure Details

Radio masts and towers will be installed for holding the telecommunication antennas that will provide integrated telecommunication services.

Canals will be developed to off-take water from the Narmada River to the power plant. An underground water pumping facility, ground service reservoir and water transmission pipeline will be constructed to distribute the water through the site.
