In January 2019, the Gujarat High Court sought an explanation from the state government regarding land acquisition processes at Dholera SIR, responding to farmer petitions challenging the acquisition framework.

The court’s intervention highlighted that the TP mechanism — however innovative — operates under judicial scrutiny, and that farmer grievances remained live even after the shift away from raw acquisition.
What came next: the TP mechanism continued operating (2A/4A sanctioned mid-2018), with subsequent scheme sanctions proceeding through 2025–2026.
