NICDC
The National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation, the central nodal agency for India's industrial corridors, including Dholera.
NICDC is the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation, formerly known as DMICDC. It is the central government's nodal agency for developing India's industrial corridors, and Dholera is one of the key nodes it helps drive as part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor.
In the Dholera structure, NICDC represents the central government's interest. Through the NICDC Trust it holds the 49 percent central stake in DICDL, the company that builds the city, with the Gujarat government holding the other 51 percent via DSIRDA. This is what makes Dholera a joint state-and-centre project rather than a purely local one.
For a buyer, NICDC matters as the corridor-level authority behind Dholera's national positioning and as a primary source to sanity-check claims about the region. Its official portal, nicdc.in, is the place to verify statements about corridor projects and city infrastructure before relying on them.
