The Dholera SIR (Special Investment
Region) will broadly comprise of various zones including residential,
commercial, financial, manufacturing, processing, entertainment and
institutional and others in addition to the world class infrastructure in terms
of road, water, sanitation and other facilities. Taking into account various
factors like availability of govt. land, population of the affected villages,
flooding in the area, proximity to Ahmadabad, closeness of ports and airport
locations, a final delineation has been worked out for Dholera SIR, which comprises of
22 villages of Ahmadabad District of which 19 are of Dhanduka Taluka and 3 are
of Bharvala taluka. An areaof around 872 Sq. Kms. Will be delineated as the SIR
area. However, actual urban development of SIR area would be approximately 500
Sq. Kms (50000 Hectares).
The development plan specifically
protects the farmers’ interests and avoids direct land acquisition by the
government. Instead, it ensures land acquisition by industry from the farmers.
And, with the availability of proper infrastructure according to the
development plan, the farmers are sure to get better realizations,” says a
DSIRDA official who does not wish to be named.
Apart
from land, the smart city announcement is also expected to attract investment
into the region. For making it a smart city, the progress on an ICT Master
Systems Integrator for implementation of Smart City Components at Dholera SIR was recently
reviewed by DSIRDA officials and experts from the Indian Institute of
Technology, Hyderabad. While British infrastructure development company Halcrow
has been roped in as a master planner, CISCO and IBM have been contracted the
work. These are for a centralized digital control of all infrastructural
facilities like water, power and gas traffic through an underground sensor
system reporting to a central control room at DSIR. Soon, work on two TP
schemes will simultaneously be undertaken in each of the threephases.3
