 "verdict": "Becharaji is the SIR that lived by shrinking: eight villages, two global factories running since 2016 and 2017, and no new town. It proves a Gujarat greenfield can land global manufacturers, and that industry alone does not conjure a city. Dholera bets bigger on both halves. Respect the first proof and price the second. Dated 25 August 2026.",
