Gujarat is set to get a new greenfield airport named, the Dholera International Airport, decks have been cleared for work on the Rs 2,000-crore greenfield airport project, which is a part of Gujarat government’s Dholera Special Investment Region (Dholera SIR), located 100 km south west of Ahmedabad. The Dholera International Airport, with an annual capacity of 50 million passengers once fully operational, would decongest the saturated Ahmedabad airport, catering to the regions of Vadodara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Nadiad, Kheda and Anand in Gujarat. To facilitate connectivity, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has acquired a 120-m-wide strip extending from Dholera SIR to Ahmedabad, of which 90 m would be used for a six-lane highway and 30 m for a Metro link.
