DICDL held 1,519 acres of industrial land ready for allotment as at 2025-03-31 and had allotted 530 acres cumulatively, up from 522 acres a year earlier. Neither annual report says how much land any single allottee took or what any of them paid. That is a declared gap and not an omission on this site.

The difference between 522 acres at 2024-03-31 and 530 acres at 2025-03-31 is not presented by either report as a year's allotment, so this site does not present it that way either. Land monetised during a financial year, expressed as an area, is not stated anywhere.
How the land is reserved
Every cell is one percent of total land area. Half the land is freely saleable by DICDL and half is reserved for a specified purpose. Percentages as printed in the DICDL annual report for FY2024-25. Unit: percent of total land area. Tag: OFFICIAL. Last verified 2026-08-04.
Who has been allotted land
Named allottees, and what is not said about them
Both reports name a handful of industrial allottees and both say plainly that the list is not exhaustive. Neither attaches an acreage or a price to any name.
Named in the FY2024-25 report
- M/s Tata Semiconductor Manufacturing Private Limited (formerly M/s Semifab Private Limited)
- M/s Renew Photovoltaics Private Limited
- M/s Polycab India Limited
- M/s Inox Air Products Limited
Named in the FY2023-24 report
- M/s Semifab Private Limited
- M/s TATA Chemicals Limited
- M/s Renew Photovoltaics Private Limited
- M/s Polycab India Limited
Two things changed between the two lists. Semifab Private Limited appears in FY2024-25 as Tata Semiconductor Manufacturing Private Limited, a rename the report states directly. TATA Chemicals Limited was named in FY2023-24 and is absent from the FY2024-25 list, with no explanation given. Both lists are stored here against their own year and no inference has been drawn about whether that allotment lapsed. The change is logged on the revision sheet.
One monetary figure attaches to one allottee anywhere in either report: a Gujarat semiconductor policy land allotment subsidy receivable of Rs. 13,646.74 lakh, relating to the allotment made to Semifab Private Limited, disclosed in the FY2023-24 report at page 112. That is a subsidy receivable by DICDL, not a price paid by the allottee.

What land monetisation shows up as
Upfront lease premium is the line to watch
DICDL recognises land monetisation as upfront lease premium inside revenue from operations. That line was Rs. 36,145.95 lakh in FY2023-24 and Rs. 6,159.43 lakh in FY2024-25, which is why the headline revenue figure fell so sharply between the two years while the company moved from a loss to a profit. A reader who takes revenue from operations as a measure of activity at Dholera will get the direction of travel wrong.
Land also sits on the balance sheet as inventory rather than as fixed assets, because DICDL develops and sells it. Inventories stood at Rs. 4,61,766.68 lakh as at 2025-03-31 against total assets of Rs. 6,57,299.35 lakh. The breakdown of that inventory, including land development cost for roads and services, is on the full ledger.
