The commerce minister gave the keynote at a Dholera seminar at Vibrant Gujarat 2024

Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce and Industries, delivered the keynote address at a seminar titled Dholera, A Greenfield Smart City for Smart Businesses on 10 January 2024 at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit.

Confirmed by an official document: a government release, a filing, or the company's own published statement.

Recorded here because the date and the framing are part of how Dholera was being sold to investors in the month before the Tata fab was approved by the Cabinet, which happened on 29 February 2024. Shri S.S. Rathore, chairman of DICDL, was on the same platform.

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.
