Dholera TP1: the early industrial and knowledge corridor

TP1 is one of the two schemes that define Dholera's first phase. If TP2 is where the cameras point, because that is where the Activation Area and the semiconductor fab sit, TP1 is the quieter half of the Phase-I pairing. It is large, reported at around 51 sq km, and it is part of the same sanctioned Phase-I footprint that the whole project is being judged on. This page sets out what is actually sourced about TP1, what is only commentary, and how to read it as a buyer.

If you have not already, read the anchor page on what a TP scheme is first. The land-pooling and Final Plot logic explained there applies to TP1 exactly as it does to every other scheme, and it is the framework you need to make sense of anything sold inside this zone.

The one number that is reported: about 51 sq km

TP1 is reported to cover roughly 51 sq km. Combined with TP2's roughly 102 sq km, that gives Phase-I a footprint of about 153 sq km, the part of the Dholera master plan that is furthest along. We tag the 51 sq km figure reported rather than confirmed, because it comes from planning summaries and press rather than a single primary sanction document a buyer can pull up and read line by line. It is consistent across the sources we trust, but the honest label is reported.

Being inside Phase-I matters. The trunk infrastructure, the central spine and the utility backbone are being built out across TP1 and TP2 first, ahead of the later schemes. So while TP1 is not where the marquee anchor projects sit, it is inside the ring where the city is genuinely taking shape rather than the outer schemes still waiting for their phase.

The 'knowledge and IT corridor' label, and why we flag it

You will see TP1 described as an early industrial zone with a knowledge or IT corridor character. We want to be precise about the source of that description. It is portal-sourced commentary, the kind of intended-use framing that circulates across Dholera property portals and summaries. It is not the same as an official, published land-use zoning map with legally binding percentages. The detailed land-use zoning percentages for Dholera sit inside DSIRDA's Final Development Plan documents and are not reliably sourced in a form we can quote.

So read the corridor label as a directional hint about the kind of activity planners have talked about for TP1, not as a guarantee that any given plot is zoned industrial, knowledge or residential. If the intended use of a specific parcel matters to you, that has to be confirmed against the actual sanctioned plan for that plot, not inferred from a zone nickname.

How TP1 relates to TP2 and the anchors

The clearest way to place TP1 is by contrast with its Phase-I partner. TP2 holds the Activation Area, the plug-and-play demonstration zone of about 22.5 sq km, plus the ABCD administrative building and the Tata semiconductor fab under construction. TP1 holds none of those specific anchors. What TP1 shares with TP2 is the Phase-I status and the early trunk-infrastructure rollout. In practice this means TP1 rides on the same connectivity and utility push, while the single most-watched projects sit next door.

That distinction has a direct bearing on value. The genuine, source-consistent price drivers in Dholera include proximity to the Activation Area and being inside a notified, developed TP scheme. A TP1 plot may satisfy the second driver while being further from the first than a comparable TP2 plot. Neither we nor anyone else should attach a specific rupee premium to that, because no verified per-unit price exists, but the direction is worth understanding. See how the anchor projects cluster on our Tata fab and Activation Area pages.

What a buyer should actually do in TP1

The checklist for TP1 is the same discipline we apply site-wide. Confirm the Final Plot number and the sanctioned TP scheme proof. Confirm the plot's title through the sale deed, the 7/12 extract and a 30-year encumbrance search. If the project is being marketed and booked, confirm its RERA registration on the Gujarat portal by number, and treat any claim that SIR status removes the need for RERA as a red flag. Our plot verification guide and scams and red flags page cover the mechanics.

The bottom line on TP1: it is a large, reported ~51 sq km scheme inside sanctioned Phase-I, adjacent to the most active parts of the city, carrying a portal-described industrial and knowledge character that you should treat as commentary rather than zoning. It is a real part of the plan, not a headline zone. Judge any specific plot on its Final Plot status and title, not on the corridor nickname.
