Dholera airport's cargo operations were expected to begin in 2025 and there is no record that they did
DICDL's 2024-25 annual report states that cargo operations at Dholera International Airport are expected to begin in 2025, with the passenger terminal and other works targeted for completion in 2026.
Confirmed by an official document: a government release, a filing, or the company's own published statement.
The first aircraft to land at Dholera was an Airports Authority of India calibration flight on 4 June 2026. No source we hold records the start of cargo operations, at any date. That is why the row below says unknown rather than no. There is a difference between a thing we know did not happen and a thing no document records either way, and collapsing the two is how a record becomes an opinion.

Last verified: 11 August 2026. Read the status column this way. CONFIRMED means the named document states the figure. REPORTED means a credible outlet states it and no document confirms it. TARGET means somebody is aiming at it. UNKNOWN means no source we hold gives it, and we would rather leave the row empty than fill it with an estimate.
Two government releases give two different costs for the same expressway
One government document calls Dholera's trunk infrastructure complete while another still calls it nearing completion
DICDL's own two annual reports describe the expressway with different lane counts

Several of these documents are large PDFs on government portals that move without notice. Where a document has no stable deep link we cite it by its number and date so it can be found again. See the source register for what each document is and what we took from it.
If one of these links has moved or we have read it wrong, write to [email protected] and we will fix the entry and say so on the corrections page. For how we decide what counts as confirmed, see how we source and correct. For the full dated history of the region, see the Dholera timeline.
