In 2400 BCE, traders built the world's first purpose-built dock at Lothal on the Gulf of Khambhat. In 2026 CE, India is building its largest greenfield smart city 36 km from that same dock.

Everyone asks why these 22 villages were chosen for India's largest greenfield smart city. The answer is 1,500 years of maritime geography: Dholera village was a functioning port on the Gulf of Khambhat, Ahmedabad — India's commercial capital — has no nearby port, and DMIC needed a sea node. No other location in India offered all three simultaneously.

With Tata's fab already under construction, Dholera now has a semiconductor cluster.

DMIC — Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor — is India's largest infrastructure program, jointly funded by India and Japan. Dholera SIR is its largest node.
