What has actually been contracted and built at Dholera?
What has been contracted, at what cost, and when
This page lists the building contracts the Dholera company itself reports, with what each one costs, how much ground it covers and when it was awarded and started. It also states the uncomfortable part plainly: the company publishes no completion percentage for any of them, so nobody can tell you from these documents how far along any single project is. The company reports 8 contracted projects with cost, plot area, built up area, award date and construction start date, all as at 31 March 2025 or shortly after. It publishes a completion percentage for none of them. The one percentage in either dataset belongs to the expressway, and it is reported second hand.
Contract quantities
The company reports 8 projects with contract detail. What follows is only what the report puts a number on: cost, plot area, built up area, the date of award and the date construction started. Where the report gives no figure, the cell says so.

Connectivity: the quantities that exist
Three external projects are described in the annual report: an expressway, an airport and a railway line. Only one of them carries a measured percentage, and it belongs to the national highways authority rather than to the company. The rest are dates, and a date in a report is a target, not a measurement.

No completion percentages
- Project-wise physical progress percentages for DICDL's own eight social infrastructure projects are NOT disclosed. The FY2024-25 report gives contractor, award date, cost, areas and construction start date, and describes each as 'currently underway', but publishes no percentage completion. Only the Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway (an NHAI project, not DICDL's) carries a percentage figure.
- Dholera International Airport physical progress percentage is NOT disclosed in either report; only target dates are given.
This is the single largest gap in the whole register. Eight projects are reported with an award date and a construction start date, and not one of them carries a percentage complete, a milestone or a revised completion date. This register will not supply one, and it will not translate a status sentence into a number.
