The National Maritime Heritage Complex is one of India’s most ambitious cultural and heritage projects, being developed near Lothal in Gujarat. Planned by the Government of India, this project aims to showcase India’s rich maritime history while boosting tourism and regional development.
Located close to Dholera Smart City, the complex is expected to become a major attraction with museums, heritage zones, research centres, and waterfront development. Its strategic location benefits from upcoming expressways, airport connectivity, and smart city infrastructure.
Large government-backed projects like the National Maritime Heritage Complex often act as growth drivers for surrounding regions. Increased tourism, improved infrastructure, and higher regional visibility can positively impact long-term development around Dholera.
As Dholera continues to evolve as a smart city, cultural and infrastructure projects such as this add depth to its growth story—making the region more than just an industrial hub, but a balanced destination for heritage, development, and future opportunities.
