Tenure types
How the land is actually held, in the words the documents use. Five stated tenures ranked by how many parcels carry them, and the six parcels whose sources say nothing at all.
No paid placement · No developer money · Nothing for sale
The answer, first
The most common stated tenure in Dholera Special Investment Region is award through e-auction, which covers two of the twelve parcels on the register, per the DICDL Annual Report 2024-25. Four further tenures appear once each and six parcels state none. Last verified 4 August 2026.

How this list is ordered, and what would move a rank
The rule. Tenure is quoted from the source, never paraphrased into a tidy category, and the wordings are ranked by how many parcels carry each one. Two records that say the same thing in different words stay as two rows, because collapsing them would be an editorial judgment about what the documents meant rather than a record of what they said.
Why UNKNOWN does not take first place. Six of the twelve parcels state no tenure at all, which is the largest single group on the register and would otherwise rank first. It sits below the ranked block instead, because a ranking should not be led by the absence of evidence. The count is printed in full so the shape of the gap is still visible.
What would move a rank. A registered lease deed for any of the six silent parcels, which would create or grow a stated tenure group. Or the selection of a concession partner for the cleanroom site, whose tenure currently reads as a plan rather than a holding.
Who is not on this list, and on which criterion
Six parcels are outside the ranked block on one criterion: their source document never says whether the land is held on lease, on sale or on any other footing. That covers both Tata Semiconductor records, Renew Photovoltaics, Polycab India, Inox Air Products and the unnamed proponents. The DICDL Land Allotment Policy would let you guess, since it makes 99 year leasehold the norm, but a policy default is not a fact about a parcel and this register does not attach one.
What the four one-off tenures actually describe
Four of the five stated tenures appear exactly once each, and they are not variations on a theme. One is an equity contribution: DSIRDA brought in its share capital by allotting land to DICDL. One is inventory: land DICDL owns inside the Activation Area which, in the words of the audited accounts, would be transferred on lease hold basis, which is forward looking. One is an administrative circle: 15 per cent of land appropriated for roads goes back to DSIRDA and is leased to DICDL for 99 years at a consideration of Rs 1. And one is a plan: a site to be developed on a public private partnership basis whose concession partner had not been selected as at November 2025.
Status: OFFICIAL for all four. Sources: DICDL Annual Report 2024-25 pages 71 and 111, and the DICDL cleanroom RfQ cum RfP page 138. Last verified 4 August 2026.
E-auction is the only route stated twice
Both dated allotments on the register were awarded through e-auction, and it is the only tenure wording here that covers more than one parcel. That matters for reading the rest of the table: the policy sets out allotment by auction, by tender and by direct allotment, with a processing fee of INR 20,000 and earnest money of 5 per cent of the reserve price, and the only route the annual report actually names for a specific award is the auction one. Both awards are dated, which no other parcel on this register is.
