In a major boost to Gujarat’s digital and industrial ambitions, the state government has signed a massive ₹25,000 crore Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with L&T Vyom for setting up a 250MW data centre at Dholera Special Investment Region (Dholera SIR). This landmark investment marks a significant step toward transforming Dholera Smart City into India’s next-generation digital infrastructure hub. The project is expected to strengthen Gujarat’s position as a leading destination for technology-driven investments and high-value infrastructure development.

250MW Data Centre to Power India’s Digital Future

The proposed 250MW data centre at Dholera SIR is expected to be one of the largest data centre facilities in India. With rising demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), fintech services, and digital storage, this mega project will play a crucial role in supporting India’s rapidly expanding digital economy. The L&T Vyom data centre will provide world-class infrastructure, high-speed connectivity, and reliable power supply, making Dholera an attractive location for global tech companies and hyperscalers.

Why Dholera SIR is Emerging as a Data Centre Hub

Dholera Smart City has been strategically planned as a greenfield industrial city under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). Its plug-and-play infrastructure, wide roads, underground utilities, sustainable urban planning, and proximity to the upcoming Dholera International Airport make it an ideal location for large-scale data centre investments. With stable power supply, renewable energy integration, and advanced connectivity infrastructure, Dholera SIR is rapidly emerging as India’s semiconductor and data centre hub.

Economic Growth and Job Creation in Gujarat

The ₹25,000 crore investment by L&T Vyom is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities in Gujarat. From construction and engineering to IT services and facility management, the 250MW data centre project will boost local businesses and enhance skill development in the region. Additionally, this large-scale investment will significantly contribute to Gujarat’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and strengthen India’s digital economy growth story.

Strengthening India’s Digital Infrastructure Vision

The Gujarat government’s proactive industrial policies and investor-friendly environment continue to attract global giants across sectors such as semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, renewable energy, and data centres. The signing of this MoU aligns with India’s broader vision of becoming a global technology powerhouse. By establishing large data centre infrastructure in Dholera SIR, Gujarat is not only supporting domestic digital transformation but also positioning itself as a global data storage and cloud services destination.

A Major Step Towards Smart and Sustainable Development

What makes this project even more significant is its alignment with sustainable development goals. Modern data centres focus on energy efficiency, green building standards, and renewable power usage. With Dholera Smart City’s emphasis on clean energy and advanced urban planning, the L&T Vyom data centre is expected to integrate eco-friendly practices, reinforcing Gujarat’s commitment to sustainable industrial growth.

Conclusion: Dholera’s Rise as India’s Digital Capital

The ₹25,000 crore MoU between Gujarat and L&T Vyom for the 250MW data centre at Dholera SIR is more than just an investment announcement—it is a clear signal of Dholera’s rise as a national and global technology hub. As infrastructure projects accelerate and major industries set up operations, Dholera Smart City is steadily shaping into a powerful engine for India’s digital and economic growth.
