The Nexa Evergreen case is a very big money scam where two brothers allegedly tricked about 70,000 people into giving them more than 2,700 crore rupees. They told people they were building houses and selling land in the Dholera Smart City project, but it was all a lie to take their money.
The Fake Promise of Dholera
I have been looking at real estate for over fifty years, and I have seen many people lose their life savings to smooth-talking men. In this case, two brothers named Ranveer and Subhash Bijarniya started a company called Nexa Evergreen. They knew that the government is building a real “Smart City” in Dholera, Gujarat, with big factories and an airport. They used this real news to make their fake business look real.
- They told people they owned over 1,300 bighas of land in Dholera.
- They promised that if you gave them money, you would get a flat or a plot of land that would become very expensive soon.
- They even showed some early investors small pieces of land to make them believe the lie.
- Many of the victims were simple people like soldiers or farmers from Rajasthan and Gujarat.
How the Lie Fell Apart
The trouble started when people asked for their papers or tried to see their new homes. The brothers kept making excuses. When I talk to folks on the ground, they tell me they went to Dholera and found that the land Nexa Evergreen claimed to own actually belonged to someone else or did not exist at all.
- The company stopped paying people back and shut down their offices.
- By the middle of 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) started raiding their offices.
- Police found out they were moving money around to hide it from the law.
- Over 100 cases have been filed against them in different cities.
Why You Must Be Careful
It makes me very sad to see people lose money they worked so hard for. The Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) is a real project by the government, but scammers like these brothers hide behind the government’s name. They use big words and fancy brochures to confuse people.
- Always check if the company is registered with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority).
- Never believe anyone who promises to double your money in a very short time.
- Go and stand on the land yourself before you pay even one rupee.
- Ask a local lawyer to check the land papers to see who really owns it.
Real estate is a good way to save for your future, but only if the person selling it is honest. This case is a big reminder that even when a city like Dholera is growing fast, there are bad people waiting to take advantage of your dreams. I hope the authorities can get some of that money back for the families who lost everything.
