Dholera is one of the most talked-about smart city projects in India and also one of the most misunderstood. Let’s separate fact from fiction.
Myth 1: Dholera Is Just on Paper
Reality: Dholera is already in execution mode. Expressways, industrial zones, and core infrastructure are moving forward under the DMIC framework. This is no longer a conceptual project it’s a phased, government-backed development.
Myth 2: Only Big Corporates Will Benefit
Reality: While large industries are coming in, Dholera’s growth is designed to support MSMEs, service providers, residential communities, and early individual investors. Urban ecosystems thrive when people move in not just factories.
Myth 3: It’s Too Early to Invest
Reality: Every major city rewarded those who entered early. “Too early” is often just another way of saying “before prices rise.” Early-phase investments allow room for organic appreciation.
Myth 4: All Projects in Dholera Are the Same
Reality: Location, planning, credibility, and timelines matter. Projects like Sambhrant City differentiate themselves through structured layouts, long-term vision, and disciplined development making them fundamentally different from fragmented plotting.
Myth 5: Returns Will Be Instant
Reality: Dholera is a long-term story, not a quick trade. Investors who understand this are the ones likely to benefit the most.
Why Vishal Kumar Soni, Founder - Sambhrant City chose Dholera and why Sambhrant City is being built with patience, “When I decided to align Sambhrant City with Dholera, it wasn’t because it was trending. It was because it made sense economically, structurally and ethically. Dholera represents what India is moving towards: planned growth, decentralisation and long-term thinking. I have always believed that real estate carries responsibility. When someone invests their hard earned money, they’re trusting not just a project but the people behind it. That’s why Sambhrant City has never been about exaggeration or urgency. It has always been about timing, transparency and trust. We are not trying to outrun Dholera’s development. We are choosing to grow with it. That patience reflects in how Sambhrant City is planned—step by step, phase by phase.
For me, Sambhrant City is not a short term business exercise. It is a long-term commitment to buyers, to the region and to the idea of responsible development.
Dholera will take time. And that’s exactly why it matters. We are building for people who understand that the best futures are not rushed they are prepared for.”
Dholera isn’t for speculators. It’s for planners. And those who approach it with clarity not haste stand to be part of one of India’s most significant urban transformations.
