Business Standard reported in February 2013 that HCC’s proposed ₹40,000 crore waterfront city at Dholera had been “washed out” — the project did not materialise.
Why it matters to Dholera: this was one of the earliest private mega-project failures at the site, and it illustrates the gap between vision and ground reality that this news page exists to measure. Announcements are not projects; we tag everything accordingly.
What came next: a more disciplined phase — government-funded trunk infrastructure first, private investment following the readiness rather than the promises.
