Which village the book rates highest

The dearest and cheapest Dholera villages, officially

People ask which Dholera village is the best one to buy in, and no honest answer to that exists. What does exist is the government's own recorded value for each village, which at least tells you where the state thought the land was worth most in 2011. This page ranks all nineteen priced villages on that basis, and shows how wide the gap is inside each one.

The question this page answersWhich Dholera village has the highest official land rate?

Kadipur has the highest middle rate at INR 217 per square metre, and Bavaliyari the lowest at INR 37. The single highest line anywhere in the region is INR 338 per square metre and the lowest is INR 26. Ranking villages is only useful up to a point, because inside Kadipur the dearest line is 13.0 times the cheapest.

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.

The 19 priced villages, dearest to cheapest

Sortable. The rank column is ours, the rates are the book's.

Ranked on the middle rate, because a village range on its own is misleading: one expensive line near a highway can drag the top of a cheap village above the top of a dear one. The spread column is the highest line divided by the lowest in that village, and it tells you how much the survey number matters there.

In force under the Revenue Department resolution dated 18 April 2011. Read positionally from the rate book AHMEDABAD-AGRI.pdf, 1,431 pages; the ASR page number is printed on every row.

Middle rate is the median of the lines printed for that village and spread is the highest divided by the lowest. Both are † ours; the book prints no summary of its own.
Three villages are missing because the book prints no farm land line for them. They are listed on the missing rates page rather than ranked last, which would read as cheap.
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.

What a ranking like this can and cannot tell you

A rank is a starting point for a question, not an answer to one.

It tells you what the state recorded in 2011, and that recording was made for tax purposes rather than as a forecast. A village near the top of this table was, at that date, land the revenue department valued highly. Nothing in the table says anything about what has happened since, and a great deal has: the region was notified in 2009 and the first phase was built after this book was printed.

It also flattens something important. The spread column shows that in several villages the dearest line is many times the cheapest, so two plots a field apart can sit at completely different official values. In Kadipur that ratio is 13.0 to one. Wherever the spread is wide, the village average is close to useless and only the line covering your own survey number will do.
