Dholera SIR is set to receive a major boost in connectivity with the opening of the Ahmedabad Dholera Express Highway, also known as the Ahmedabad Dholera Expressway and Dholera-Ahmedabad Expressway, one of Gujarat’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. According to early updates and the latest news from Dholera 2025, the highway is expected to be officially opened for public use on either December 12 or December 15, with final confirmation pending from the authorities.
The project has now entered the finishing stage, and teams are working at full speed to complete the last layer of roadwork and final touches. All sections of the expressway are undergoing rapid final inspections, with the Highway Authority, the State Government, and the Road Transport Department closely monitoring progress to ensure timely and safe completion.
A New High-Speed Corridor Connecting Key Economic Hubs
Once operational, the expressway will create a seamless high-speed connection between Ahmedabad, Dholera SIR, the upcoming Dholera International Airport (near the official Dholera International Airport location), and Bhavnagar Port. Travel time will be significantly reduced:
- Ahmedabad to Dholera: 55–60 minutes (Dholera to Ahmedabad distance also becomes more convenient for daily travel)
- Ahmedabad to Bhavnagar: 2 to 2.5 hours
This corridor is expected to serve as a lifeline for industrial development, smart-city expansion, and logistics movement across the region. It also strengthens interest for investors searching for plots under 10 lakhs in Dholera along the upcoming corridor.
Strengthening Dholera’s Growth Story
The opening of the expressway aligns with major ongoing developments in Dholera:
- Dholera International Airport – Phase 1 remains on track for completion in December 2025, with commercial operations set to begin after AAI certification (Dholera Airport latest news).
- Dholera Smart City Progress – Phase 1 is nearing substantial completion, with industrial zones expected to become operational by 2027. Investors tracking Dholera Smart City's completion date and infrastructure status continue to see rapid movement.
The region is emerging as a high-tech manufacturing hub, especially with a focus on semiconductor and advanced technology industries. Connectivity improvements from Dholera to Ahmedabad and the surrounding regions further accelerate this momentum.
