Comparison / industrial use
What industrial land costs to register
The region exists to be industrial, so the government's own 2011 valuation of industrial land in these villages is worth knowing. It runs from Rs. 343 to Rs. 480 a square metre, and this page sets it against what the government charges for a serviced plot today.
In every village that publishes one, the industrial rate sits above the residential rate and below the commercial rate. The registration charge is the smallest of the obstacles an industrial buyer faces, and the permissions that come before it are covered on their own pages.

01The use this region was made for
The Dholera Special Investment Region exists to be industrial. It is worth knowing what the government's own 2011 price list said industrial land in these villages was worth, because it is the baseline everything since has moved away from.
Four villages publish an industrial rate for converted land. In every one of them it sits above residential and below commercial.
| Village | Industrial Rs. per sq m | Charge on 1,000 sq m Rs. | Residential Rs. per sq m | Commercial Rs. per sq m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ambli | 440 | 25,960 | 320 | 505 |
| Bavaliyari | 440 | 25,960 | 320 | 505 |
| Dholera | 480 | 28,320 | 350 | 550 |
| Hebatpur | 343 | 20,237 | 315 | 385 |
| Sandhida | 365 | 21,535 | 295 | 405 |
02Against what the government charges today
Set the rate book against the development company's own published price list for the plots it allots. The 2011 rate book values industrial land in these villages at between Rs. 343 and Rs. 480 a square metre. The development company's published price for industrial and utility plots is Rs. 4,000 a square metre.
Those two numbers are doing different jobs and should not be read as a market movement. The first is a tax valuation of privately held land set in 2011. The second is the price a government company charges today for a serviced plot on a ninety nine year lease with roads and utilities to it. The gap between them is mostly the difference between a field and a serviced plot, plus fifteen years.
The full allotment price list by use is on the government allotment page.
03What an industrial buyer actually has to clear
The registration charge on industrial land is the smallest of the obstacles. A buyer who is not already a farmer, buying agricultural land to convert to industrial use, needs either permission under section 63 or the industrial route in section 63AA, then a conversion order under section 65, then development permission from the regional authority before anything is built.
Each of those has its own page on this site and between them they carry one published fee of three rupees, one penalty of up to two thousand rupees, and several amounts that are not published at all.
