A freshwater dam on the gulf

The long-discussed Kalpasar project — a freshwater dam across the Gulf of Khambhat — is advancing, with an estimated outlay in the range of ₹1.33 lakh crore.

What Kalpasar is

The scheme envisions a dam across the gulf to create a large freshwater reservoir, with potential benefits spanning water supply, irrigation and road connectivity along its top.

A regional multiplier

A reliable freshwater source at this scale would underpin the industrial and urban growth planned across the Dholera region for decades to come.

• Freshwater reservoir on the Gulf of Khambhat
• ~₹1.33 lakh crore estimated outlay
• Water security for the wider region

Long-horizon upside

Projects like Kalpasar are long-horizon, but they shape the fundamentals of a region — and the corridor Shivaay Xpress Way sits on is squarely within that footprint.
