Dholera Town Planning Schemes: TP1 to TP6 Complete Guide
Understanding Dholera Town Planning Schemes
The Town Planning (TP) Schemes in Dholera are the practical implementation tools that translate the master plan into actionable development. Using a unique land pooling mechanism under the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976, these schemes reorganize land parcels to build modern infrastructure without traditional government land acquisition.
Land Pooling Mechanism
Under the land pooling (reconstitution) system:
- Land from various owners is consolidated and planned with essential utilities and roads
- Land is redistributed back to owners as "Final Plots"
- Authority retains 40-50% of land for "Trunk Infrastructure" (roads, utilities, public amenities)
- Remaining land value increases significantly due to world-class infrastructure
