Dholera in 2025
Everything on this wire that happened in 2025, newest first. There are 34.
The heaviest year on this wire, and most of it is documentary. DICDL's ninth annual report and the monitoring report series both cover this period, which is why so many entries carry late-2025 dates: that is when the documents were signed, not when the things happened.
