Situated 124 kilometres away from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, the town of Dholera began attracting real estate developers in March this year. At that time, the landscape was mostly barren, marked by a few structures such as the Dholera office and the ReNew solar cell plant.

Despite the sparse surroundings, developers were travelling from Ahmedabad with potential buyers, drawn by the promise of future townships complete with schools, hospitals, and even an airport.

The India opportunity is seen as a reflection of this shift, and Indian companies will essentially be participants in the global semiconductor electronics value chain,” says Rajeev Chandrasekhar, former minister of state for electronics & IT.

Gujarat is rapidly establishing itself as India’s premier semiconductor hub, thanks to a combination of policy incentives, abundant resources, and a thriving chemical industry. At the heart of this transformation is Dholera, which is an expansive urban development spanning 920 sq. km, twice the area of Mumbai.

Strategically located along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Dholera is a top contender to house India’s first semiconductor fabrication plant (fab), spearheaded by Tata Electronics in partnership with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC).

Gujarat is rapidly becoming India’s leading semiconductor centre, with Dholera drawing significant investments from industry giants such as Tata and Micron.
