Powering growth, connectivity, and high-return real estate opportunities in Dholera SIR

Overview

Overview of Dholera International Airport

Dholera International Airport is one of Indias most ambitious greenfield aviation infrastructure projects and a key growth engine for Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR). Planned and developed under the supervision of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), this international airport is designed to support both passenger and large-scale cargo operations.

The Dholera International Airport is being developed near Navagam village, strategically placed to serve both Ahmedabad and the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR). Unlike older airports that grew around cities, this one is planned from scratch with future traffic, cargo movement, and industrial needs already factored in.

As connectivity improves and industrial activity accelerates, property values around Dholera International Airport are projected to witness substantial long-term appreciation, making it one of the most promising infrastructure-led investment destinations in Gujarat.

Why Investors Prefer Plots Near Dholera International Airport?

There’s a reason experienced investors zoom in on airport-linked developments. Here’s why plots near Dholera airport stand out:

1. Jobs Create Housing Demand

Airports attract airlines, logistics companies, ground services, customs offices, and support businesses. Jobs bring people. People need homes.

2. Commercial Activity Follows Connectivity

Warehousing, hotels, offices, showrooms — these businesses prefer locations close to airports but not inside city congestion.

3. Limited Supply, Growing Demand

Land around airports is usually regulated and finite. Once development starts, entry prices rarely come back down.

4. Long-Term Holding Advantage

This is not a “quick flip” market. It rewards patience. Investors who enter early often see compounding gains over a decade.

In simple terms, airport-driven real estate growth tends to be slower at first — and stronger later.
