Water Resource Development
The Kalpasar concept is associated with development of a large freshwater reservoir in the Gulf of Khambhat by regulating river inflows.
Dholera SIR Infrastructure
Kalpasar Project & Gulf of Khambhat
Understanding the proposed Kalpasar Project, its water-resource concept, planned transportation corridor and its relationship with the wider Dholera SIR development region.
Project Overview
What is the Kalpasar Project?
The Kalpasar Project, also referred to as the Gulf of Khambhat Development Project, is a long-term infrastructure concept involving the Gulf of Khambhat.
Government studies have examined the possibility of creating a large freshwater reservoir by regulating river inflows into the Gulf. The project has also involved engineering, hydrodynamic, transportation, environmental and social studies.
The proposed transportation infrastructure is significant for the wider region because project studies have considered road and rail connectivity across the Gulf, linking the Saurashtra side with South Gujarat.
Key Components
Major aspects of the Kalpasar Project
Road Connectivity
The proposed infrastructure includes a road corridor across the Gulf that is intended to improve movement between Saurashtra and South Gujarat.
Rail Connectivity
Government project studies have considered extending railway connectivity along the proposed Kalpasar dyke.
Industrial Connectivity
Project studies identify Dholera SIR, port activity and industrial development among the wider development factors associated with the corridor.
Dholera SIR Connection
Why is Kalpasar relevant to the Dholera region?
Dholera SIR is part of a wider industrial and infrastructure network in Gujarat. Project studies for the Kalpasar corridor have considered Dholera SIR projects, airport development and port activities among the wider regional development considerations.
The proposed crossing is intended to provide a shorter regional connection between the Saurashtra side and South Gujarat, subject to the project's approvals, studies and eventual implementation.
This means the Kalpasar Project should be presented as a proposed infrastructure project, rather than as an already operational connection.
Regional Infrastructure
- Gulf of Khambhat Development Project
- Freshwater storage concept
- Proposed road connectivity across the Gulf
- Rail connectivity considered in project studies
- Connection between Saurashtra and South Gujarat
- Potential regional logistics benefits
Part of Gujarat's wider infrastructure network
Kalpasar is one component within a broader set of water, transportation, industrial and port-development studies in Gujarat. Its potential relationship with Dholera should be understood in the context of the proposed infrastructure corridor rather than as a direct project inside Dholera SIR.
