# Sanand GIDC, Bol and Khoraj: which estate is which The Sanand industrial cluster is really several places: GIDC's large Sanand estate, its Sanand II area at Bol and the newer Sanand III estate at Khoraj. This guide from Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels explains how they differ, how far they are from Ahmedabad and the airport, and what to tell a driver so the car reaches the right gate. - GIDC, Bol & Khoraj - Plot and gate pickups - Airport about 35 km | To | Distance | Sedan | | --- | --- | --- | | SVPI Airport (GIDC: 30–35 km) | 35 km (~1 h) | ₹1,000 | | Ahmedabad (Western edge) | 21 km (~40 min) | ₹1,000 | | Becharaji (SMG plant area) | 90 km (~2 h) | ₹1,620 | Approximate distances; sedan one-way drop fares with the ₹1,000 sedan minimum. Khoraj and the far end of Bol add a few kilometres. ## What are the Sanand GIDC estates? GIDC runs a large industrial estate at Sanand of about 2,056 hectares, which includes the Sanand II area at Bol with ten product-based cluster zones, and a newer Sanand III estate at Khoraj of about 612 hectares, roughly 5 km from Sanand II. Together they hold more than 500 units. - **~2,056 ha**: GIDC Sanand estate - **10**: Product-based zones in Sanand II (Bol) - **~612 ha**: Sanand III, Khoraj - **~5 km**: Khoraj to Sanand II Sources: [GIDC Sanand Industrial Estate profile](https://gidc.gujarat.gov.in/pdf/gidc-presentation/GIDC_Sanand_Industrial_Estate_27-10.pdf), [GIDC Sanand-III (Khoraj) profile](https://gidc.gujarat.gov.in/pdf/June%202022%20Sanand-III%20Khoraj%20Estate_123.pdf). Figures are GIDC\'s and are rounded; plot-level detail changes as land is allotted. ## How do the Sanand estates differ? By age, size and the kind of industry GIDC has planned for each. For a driver, the practical difference is which road and which gate. | Estate | What it is | Industries (public sources) | Tell the driver | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GIDC Sanand estate | GIDC's large estate near Sanand, about 2,056 ha | Automobiles and auto components, electronics, pharmaceuticals and engineering; the Tata Motors plant (formerly Ford's) and the Micron semiconductor site are here | Estate, plot number and gate | | Sanand II, Bol area | Part of the GIDC Sanand estate, laid out in ten product-based cluster zones | Grouped by product cluster | Bol, the cluster or zone, plot number | | Sanand III, Khoraj | Newer GIDC estate, about 612 ha, about 5 km from Sanand II | Aerospace and defence, automobiles and ancillaries, engineering, electronics | Khoraj, plot number and gate | Named plants are listed only as places to help you locate an estate. We serve staff at units across all of them; we never present any company as our client. ## What should you tell a driver going to a Sanand unit? Five things: the estate, the plot number, the gate, a landmark and a contact at the unit. With those, the driver goes straight to the gate instead of circling the estate. Estate: GIDC Sanand / Bol (Sanand II) / Khoraj (Sanand III) Plot no.: ____ · Gate: ____ Landmark: ____ (a big neighbouring plant or road junction) Contact at the unit: ____ (name, mobile) Pickup: ____ · Date & time: ____ Large plants often have separate gates for staff, visitors and trucks, and security at each sends a car to another gate if it arrives at the wrong one. If you are a visitor, ask your host which gate to use and whether the car needs a pass; we send the car number and driver's name in advance so the pass can be ready. ## Why is Sanand one of Gujarat's busiest industrial areas? Car making started the growth and electronics is adding to it. The estates sit close to Ahmedabad and its airport, which suits companies whose staff and visitors fly in. ### Automobiles The estate grew around car plants. The Tata Motors plant at Sanand, which took over the former Ford factory, is the best known, and component makers followed. Many of them also supply plants in the Becharaji and Mandal area, about 90 km away, which is why staff and engineers travel between the two clusters often. ### Electronics and semiconductors Micron is building a semiconductor assembly and test plant on 93 acres in the GIDC Sanand estate, a project reported to create about 5,000 direct jobs ([Business Today](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/micron-technology-signs-deal-with-tata-projects-to-build-new-facility-in-sanand-starts-hiring-process-399451-2023-09-23)). New sites like this bring construction crews, commissioning engineers, foreign visitors and, later, shift workers, all of whom need transport. ## Where are the estates in relation to Ahmedabad? West of Ahmedabad, beyond Sanand town. The airport is on the far side of the city, about 35 km away by road.

Bol is part of the GIDC Sanand estate: GIDC calls it the Sanand II area and has laid it out in ten product-based cluster zones. ### Where is the Khoraj industrial estate? Khoraj is GIDC's Sanand III estate, about 612 hectares, roughly 5 km from Sanand II (Bol) according to GIDC. ### How far are the Sanand estates from Ahmedabad Airport? GIDC gives 30–35 km from the Sanand estate to the airport; a one-way drop is ₹1,000 in a sedan. ### How do I find the right gate? Ask your host for the plot number and the gate for visitors or staff, and give both to the driver with a contact number at the unit. ### Do you serve units in all the estates? Yes: the GIDC Sanand estate including Bol, Khoraj, and Sanand town around them. ## Related Sanand pages - [Sanand GIDC taxi service](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/): Every service in the estates. - [Airport pickup to Sanand](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/airport-pickup-to-sanand.html): Arriving for a plant visit. - [Employee transport](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/employee-transport.html): Shift routes to any estate. - [Sanand to Becharaji](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/sanand-to-becharaji-taxi.html): The other auto cluster. **Written by [Vaibhaviba Bhavsinh Solanki](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/author/vaibhaviba-bhavsinh-solanki.html)**, owner of Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels: GST and MSME registered, 8+ years in business, with cars based near Sanand and an Ahmedabad office in Ghatlodiya.
