How fast is land in Dholera actually being taken?
How fast the land is actually going
Allotment is the moment a plot in Dholera stops being available and becomes some company's. It is the nearest thing this project has to a public sales figure. This page takes the government's own running counts of plots and acres, shows what they did over the last year of reporting, and explains why turning that into a monthly rate would be misleading.
One year of allotment, in four lines
Allotment is the moment a plot stops being available and starts belonging to a company. It is the closest thing Dholera has to a sales figure, and unlike almost everything else about the project it is published as a running count you can watch move.
Across the 12 months between 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2026, the count of plots taken rose by three and the land behind them rose by 50 acre. That is the whole of the movement, from the government's own reports.

What that rate does and does not tell you
It is tempting to divide the change by the months and call it a run rate. Resist it. Allotments arrive in lumps when a single company signs, not in a steady trickle, and the steps column above shows that these figures moved on only two or three occasions in a whole year. An average across lumpy events invents a smoothness that was never there.
What can be said fairly is this. At the latest reading there were 1 043 acre of industrial land still reported as available, against 50 acre of movement in the year just measured. Whether that is fast or slow is a judgement, and this site does not make judgements. It gives you both numbers with their dates so you can make your own.
Every individual step, with the two report dates it sits between, is on the changes page. The reporting gaps that make precise dating impossible are on the missing months page.
