This page tells you how many people actually lived in each village around Dholera when the last census counted them, largest first. It matters because the word village covers everything here from a settlement of 6,339 people to a hamlet of 122, and a brochure never tells you which one it is talking about.
The short version
Hebatpur is the largest village in this set with 6,339 people in 2011, followed by Bajarda with 4,488 and Adval with 3,455. The smallest, Kadipur, held 122. Population and household count rank almost identically, so both sit on this one page rather than being split into two near duplicate lists.
What this ranking is
This is the last time anybody counted these villages one by one and published the answer. The Census of India sent enumerators to every village in the country in 2011 and asked the same questions everywhere, which is what makes the answers comparable. The amenity questions were asked in 2009. That is old, and we say so on every figure, but it is the only complete, uniform and free record of what was on the ground before the industrial city arrived. If you want to understand what Dholera SIR was built on top of, this is the baseline.
None of this describes 2026. Roads have been built, land has changed hands and the expressway has opened since the surveyors came. Read it as the starting line, not the current score.
Which villages are in it. The 69 villages of Dhandhuka taluka, sub-district code 03787, plus the three Barwala taluka villages that appear on the Dholera development authority's own 22 village boundary map. Seventy two villages in all. Census 2011 has no Dholera taluka because Dholera taluka was only created in 2015, so the villages sit under the taluka names the Census used at the time.
What the numbers say
Population is the first thing to check because it silently sets everything else. A village of five thousand people has a school, a bank branch and a bus that turns up. A village of two hundred has a bus stop and a walk. The three largest here, Hebatpur, Bajarda and Adval, are ordinary Gujarati market villages. Most of the rest are small.
The highest figure is 6,339 people and the lowest is 122 people. The middle village of the ranking sits at 1,355 people.

Census of India 2011, village directory. The amenity questions were surveyed in 2009. These are not current conditions and this site never presents them as current conditions.
Population and households rank at Spearman rho +0.981 across these villages, which means a separate households ranking would put the villages in almost the same order. Publishing both as two pages would be padding, so the household column sits here instead.
How to use this without being misled
Use this to sanity check any sentence that begins with the phrase near the village of. Look the village up here first. If it held under five hundred people in 2011, the nearest bank, hospital and secondary school were almost certainly somewhere else, and the Census pages linked below tell you exactly where.
Do not read a small population as a bad location or a large one as a good one. Land near the industrial area is not the land people already live on.
