In March 2021, Chief Minister Rupani stated that 86% of infrastructure work at Dholera SIR was complete โ€” the first major official progress claim for the activation area’s city-level infrastructure.

Why it matters to Dholera: official progress claims are datapoints we record โ€” and hold to later evidence. The 86% claim set the baseline against which the completion statements of 2023 and the commissioning record of 2024โ€“25 can be measured.

What came next: the “critical milestone” reports of late 2021 and the near-completion statements of 2023.
