The government's own price record for Dholera land

What the government says Dholera land is worth

Three different prices get quoted for the same piece of Dholera land, and almost nobody puts them next to each other. The first is the jantri, which is the value the Gujarat government itself records for land in every village. The second is the rate the development authority charges when it sells its own plots. The third is the price a broker asks you for. This site publishes the first one in full, village by village, because it is the only one of the three that comes with a government document you can check.

The question this page answersWhat does the government's own record say land in Dholera is worth?

The government's recorded value for land in the 22 villages of the Dholera region comes from a rate book called the Annual Statement of Rates, edition ASR - 2011 Final, which has been in force since 18 April 2011. For farm land it runs from INR 26 to INR 338 per square metre across 853 printed lines. That figure is the floor the state uses to charge stamp duty. It is not the price a plot sells for.

Before you use any figure here

Every rate here comes from one rate book, headed ASR - 2011 Final, which has been in force since 18 April 2011. These are 2011 figures. A revision was proposed later and then held back after objections, and we hold no government document for it, so we print no figure for it. Check the rate in force today with the Gujarat Revenue Department before you sign anything, and never read a 2011 figure as a 2026 market price.

Three different prices for the same piece of land

The distance between the government figure and the asking price is the thing buyers get caught by, and nobody publishes the two together.

When somebody tells you what Dholera land costs, they are quoting one of three numbers, and they rarely say which. The first is the jantri, the value the state records for stamp duty, which is what this site publishes. The second is the allotment rate, which is what the development authority charges when it sells a plot of its own. The third is the asking price on a broker's website, and for the same first phase area those asking prices have been published weeks apart at figures several times each other, with no method attached and often no date.

Only the first of the three comes with a government document, so it is the only one this site prints a figure for. For the other two we print the gap and say plainly what is missing. That is the whole reason this site exists. See the three set out side by side, or read why a jantri rate is not the price you will pay.

There is no Dholera taluka in this rate book, and that changes the number

A taluka is a district subdivision, roughly a county. Dholera did not have one when this rate book was printed, which is why so many quoted Dholera rates are wrong.

ASR/2011/NO-DHOLERA-TALUKAIN FORCE 18 APR 2011CORRECTION

This rate book contains no taluka called Dholera. It lists ten Ahmedabad talukas, Barwala, Bavla, Daskroi, Detroj-Rampura, Dhandhuka, Dholka, Mandal, Ranpur, Sanand and Viramgam, and Dholera taluka was constituted only after the book was issued. Dholera appears inside Dhandhuka as a village, on agricultural pages 494 to 497 and on non-agricultural page 247.

So a taluka level Dholera jantri for 2011 does not exist. Any page quoting one is quoting a different document or inventing the figure. The village level rates that do exist are printed here in full: 72 agricultural rows for Dholera village, from INR 129 to INR 186 per square metre. Read the correction in full, with the page range of all ten talukas and the three later government documents that do use the name.

The dearest farm land in the region, on the government's own figures

Every row names the page of the rate book it came from, so you can check it against the book itself rather than take our word for it.

ASR/2011/DHANDHUKA/TOP-20IN FORCE 18 APR 2011NOTIFIED

These are the twenty highest farm land rates the 2011 rate book prints for the 22 Dholera villages. Kadipur holds 20 of the twenty places. Read a row like this: the survey numbers are the plot numbers the rate applies to, and the same rate is printed twice, once per acre and once per square metre.

The rate book has no taluka called Dholera. A taluka is the subdivision of a district that sits above the village. Dholera taluka was created after this book was printed, so every line here appears under taluka DHANDHUKA, and we leave it that way rather than relabel a government document.
Ranked on the rate per square metre as printed. Where two rows carry the same rate the order is the order of the rate book.
This is the minimum value stamp duty is charged on. It is a tax floor set by the state, not the price a plot changes hands at, and not a valuation of anybody's land.

The notified region, drawn from the schedule

The government named 22 villages, covering 879.3377 square kilometres, when it declared the Dholera region on 22 May 2009. Here is how the land is split between them.

GAZETTE/2009/SIR/22NOTIFIED 22 MAY 2009NOTIFIED

Each rectangle is one notified village, sized by its own area in square kilometres from the 2009 gazette schedule. Shaded rectangles are the four part villages of the Activation Area. This is a proportional area diagram, not a map: no boundary geometry exists in the datasets behind this site, so none is drawn. Source: The Gujarat Government Gazette, Vol. L No. 23, 4 June 2009, Part IV-B, printed pages 40 and 41. Industries and Mines Department notification No. GHU-14/SIR/112009/253/(1)/I dated 22 May 2009, made under sections 3 and 4 of the Gujarat Special Investment Region Act, 2009. Last verified: 2026-08-04.

The schedule column sums to 879.3379 square kilometres against a printed total of 879.3377. That difference of 0.0002 square kilometres is in the printed gazette itself. We reproduce both figures and reconcile neither. The survey number column, by contrast, sums exactly to the printed 14,574.

What you can and cannot use this site for

You can use it to

Look up the government's recorded value for the exact plot numbers you are being sold, with the page of the rate book it came from.
Work out roughly what stamp duty will be charged on, since duty is charged on the higher of the sale price and this figure.
Check whether a rate somebody quoted you actually appears in the book at all.
Download the whole thing and check our reading against the original.

You cannot use it to

Find out what a plot sells for today. This is the tax floor, not the market.
Get a current figure. The edition here is from 2011 and a later revision was proposed and then held back, so confirm the rate in force with the Revenue Department.
Value one specific plot. A valuer does that, and this is not one.
Buy anything. Nothing here is for sale and there is no enquiry form.
