Yes, a high speed metro is definitely planned for Dholera SIR. It is a core part of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor that will connect the new city to Ahmedabad in record time.
Why I am telling you this
I have been looking at land and buildings for over 50 years. I saw Gurgaon when it was just bushes and cows. I saw Navi Mumbai when people laughed at the idea of moving there. When I look at the Dholera Special Investment Region, I see the same patterns. I have spent months reading the official papers and talking to the engineers on the ground. I do not just read brochures. I look at the dirt and the steel.
The Metro Details
- The route is fixed. The metro will start from the Ahmedabad Metro station and go all the way to the Dholera international airport.
- It is a regional rail. This is not like a slow city bus. It is meant to be very fast so people can live in one place and work in the other.
- Massive funding. The government has already set aside money for the Ahmedabad to Dholera expressway, and the metro will run right alongside it.
- Part of a bigger plan. You have to understand that Dholera is being built as a Smart City. A smart city without a train is just a parking lot. The planners know this.
My Experience with New Cities
When I first started in this business in the 1970s, transportation was always the last thing they built. It was a big mistake. People bought homes and then waited 20 years for a road. But Dholera is different. They are building the infrastructure first.
I went to the site last year. It is huge. You can see where the tracks will go. It feels real. It does not feel like a ghost story. But you must be careful. I have seen many good people lose their life savings because they bought land from a liar.
Things you must check before buying
- RERA Number. Never talk to a builder who does not have a Gujarat RERA registration. If they make excuses, walk away.
- Land Use. Some people sell “Dholera” land that is actually outside the investment zone. Check the official maps.
- The Timeline. The metro will not be ready tomorrow. If a salesman tells you the train is coming next month, he is lying to you. It will take a few more years to be fully working.
Final Thoughts from an Old Pro
I have watched cities grow from nothing. The Dholera Metro is a big promise. From what I see in the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board documents, they are serious. It is a long game. Do not invest your money if you need it back in two years. This is for your children or your retirement.
I am writing this because I want you to be smart. The world is full of people who want to take your money. But the metro is not a lie. It is the heartbeat of what this city will become. Just make sure you check the Sub-Registrar records yourself. Do not trust a shiny book. Trust the law and the land.
