What is actually built in Dholera, and what is still a plan
Dholera is a new industrial city going up on the coast about 100 km south west of Ahmedabad. Most of what gets written about it mixes finished work with press announcements, so it is hard to tell what exists. This site keeps the two apart. Every number on it carries the date it was reported and where it came from.
