The guide library
Published 3 August 2026. Facts verified to 27 July 2026 unless dated otherwise.
Evergreen explainers built to outlast news cycles: how the land works, how the fab works, how to verify anything you are told, and what the numbers actually say.
The guide library holds 19 evergreen, sourced explainers covering the land system, the semiconductor build, policy, infrastructure, careers and the verification frameworks that separate a clean Dholera decision from a hopeful one. Every guide targets a distinct question and carries tier tags on every claim.
Guide
How Dholera Supplies Industrial Land
Dholera's land is supplied through town planning schemes: six sanctioned, Phase 1 concentrated in TP1 and TP2 (~153 sq km), with a ~22.
Guide
India's First Commercial Semiconductor Fab
India's first commercial 300mmThe industry-standard large wafer size used by modern commercial fabs, including Dholera's. semiconductor fab is being built by Tata Electronics with PSMC at Dholera: Rs 91,000 crore, 50,000 wafers a month, commercial production now guided to mid-2028.
Guide
Tata + PSMC
Tata Electronics builds and owns the Dholera fab; Taiwan's PSMC (Powerchip) brings 300mm process technology and operational know-how.
Guide
Why India's First Fab Makes 28-110nm Chips, Not 3nm
The Dholera fab targets 28 to 110 nm mature nodes rather than leading-edge 3nm, and that choice is the strategy, not a compromise.
Guide
Gujarat's Semiconductor Ecosystem
Gujarat is assembling India's densest semiconductor geography: the Tata fab at Dholera, Micron's ATMPAssembly, test, marking and packaging: back-end semiconductor work (Micron's Sanand plant). at Sanand, two more Cabinet-cleared units for Dholera and Surat, plus the materials and gases layer.
Guide
The Policy Stack Behind Dholera's Fab
How the India Semiconductor Mission's fiscal support and Gujarat's state machinery combine at Dholera: the Cabinet approval, the Fiscal Support Agreement, the GSEM's role in MoUs, and how to read incentive claims.
Guide
The Dholera SEZ, Explained
The Tata Semiconductor SEZSpecial Economic Zone: a notified area treated as outside India's customs territory for authorised operations. at Dholera was notified around April 2026 on 66.
Guide
Dholera as a Data Centre Hub
Three data centre plans name Dholera: L&T Vyoma's Rs 25,000 crore 250 MW campus (govt-channel MoUMemorandum of understanding: a stated intent to engage, not a contract or delivered capital.), Adani's reported up-to-7.
Guide
Dholera's Renewable Energy Build-Out
Dholera's renewables record: ~300 MW of Tata Power solar operational, 700 MW under development by ReNew, SJVN, Vena and TEQ Green for March 2027, the 1,000 MW Phase 1 target, and Reliance's state-wide green hydrogen MoU.
Guide
Embraer at Dholera
Embraer and Adani hold an MoU for civil aircraft final assembly at Dholera airport around 2028.
Guide
Setting Up a Factory in Dholera
The practical route to industrial land in Dholera: DSIRDADholera Special Investment Region Development Authority: the planning and land authority. for planning, DICDLDholera Industrial City Development Ltd: the SPV building infrastructure (Gujarat 51%, Centre 49%). for infrastructure, TP-scheme final plots, the SEZ boundary question, live power context, and the diligence sequence for an MSME or corporate site team.
Guide
Dholera Airport's Cargo Terminal
Dholera airport's Phase 1 includes a ~2,500 sq m cargo terminal, and for a semiconductor corridor the cargo case leads the passenger case.
Guide
Dholera's Catalyst Calendar
Every dated Dholera catalyst ahead: airport operations (Sept-Oct 2026 target), fab solar Phase 1 (Mar 2027), fab commercial output and L&T data centre (~2028), rail (2030-31), with tiers and what each would prove.
Guide
Sanand vs Dholera for Business Siting
Sanand offers a mature auto-and-electronics belt near Ahmedabad with Micron's ATMP; Dholera offers corridor-scale greenfield land with India's first fab rising.
Guide
Semiconductor Careers in India
India's semiconductor job market is being built around real plants: ~21,000 cited for Dholera's Tata SEZ, plus Sanand's back end.
Guide
The Gujarat SIR Act 2009
The Gujarat Special Investment Region Act 2009 is Dholera's legal foundation: notified regions, dedicated development authorities, TP-scheme land powers and apex governance.
Guide
Dholera's Power Infrastructure
Dholera's power story in documented facts: ~300 MW solar operational, 700 MW under development for March 2027, a 1,000 MW Phase 1 target, heavy anchor loads coming, and the honest list of what remains unpublished (tariffs, grid detail).
Guide
MSME Opportunities Around Dholera
