Comparing Dholera With Other Smart Cities in India

This detailed comparison highlights how Dholera Smart City stands apart from other major smart cities in India. Unlike cities such as Pune, Surat, or Bhubaneswar that are developed by upgrading existing infrastructure, Dholera is India’s first greenfield smart city built entirely from scratch, allowing better planning and execution. With a massive area of around 920 sq. km and strategic location under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), it offers superior scalability and industrial growth potential. While other smart cities provide quicker returns due to existing ecosystems, Dholera promises higher long-term appreciation, advanced infrastructure, and a future-ready urban environment.
