“The Gujarat State Road Development Corporation Limited (GSRDC) is developing an access-controlled expressway between Ahmedabad and DSIR to serve as the central spine road for Dholera. The proposed road will initially be constructed as a four-lane highway, with plans for a future upgrade to a six-lane structure, allowing for controlled access.”
The metro rail project connecting Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, and Dholera Smart City is planned to span approximately 100 kilometers and will be constructed in two phases: Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad and Ahmedabad to Dholera. Proposed as an elevated metro, this line will enable faster and more efficient travel, particularly benefiting the upcoming international airport near Dholera. Given the project’s long gestation period, swift initiation is crucial to maximize its impact. The metro has received approval under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) master plan by the central government, highlighting its importance to regional development.
Ahmedabad’s existing airport has seen one of the highest annual traffic growth rates and is expected to reach full capacity well before 2020. Due to various constraints, expanding the current airport is challenging, making a new international airport essential to accommodate future traffic demands.
Recognizing the potential and needs of Dholera Smart City, the government identified a strong demand for a Greenfield International Airport nearby. The high level of economic activity within the Special Investment Region (SIR), supported by significant domestic and foreign investments, will require a world-class international airport in the area. Consequently, the state has included the airport’s development in the “Early Bird Projects” list, in coordination with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. The Government of Gujarat has also signed an MoU with the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation to advance this initiative.
