DHOLERA — In what engineering contractors describe as India's most advanced subterranean civic grid, the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) has successfully energized its automated trunk infrastructure corridor.

Spanning water recycling, industrial gas, high-voltage power conduits, and optical fiber loops, all civic utilities are housed within accessible walk-through subterranean tunnels, eliminating the need for future road excavations.

State industrial development officials confirmed that two international electric vehicle battery manufacturers and a precision aerospace component maker have taken possession of large industrial plots within the activation area, with commercial operations slated to commence by late 2027.
