A wave of development projects worth over ₹5,400 crore was launched at Khodaldham Ground in Ahmedabad, with a focus on urban development, infrastructure, energy, and railways. The initiatives highlight the government’s continued emphasis on inclusive growth, ensuring benefits reach farmers, cattle rearers, small entrepreneurs, and the urban poor.
Focus on Self-Reliance and Made-in-India
The projects form part of India’s broader vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
- Citizens have been encouraged to prioritise Made-in-India products.
- Manufacturers were urged to enhance product quality to compete globally.
Gujarat, already a leader in diamonds, textiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and petrochemicals, continues to expand existing industries while fostering new sectors that align with India’s self-reliance goals.
Major Infrastructure and Connectivity Push
Over the last two decades, Gujarat has witnessed rapid infrastructure transformation:
- Metro expansions and modern bus services strengthening urban mobility.
- 3,000 km of new railway tracks laid in 11 years, with 100% electrification
- GST reforms expected to benefit traders, small industrialists, and citizens.
These measures are designed to improve connectivity and drive economic growth across the state.
Redevelopment of Sabarmati Ashram
A key cultural initiative is the redevelopment of Sabarmati Ashram, with plans to make it one of the world’s greatest symbols of peace, preserving its historical significance while modernising its infrastructure.
Green Energy and EV Milestones
Tomorrow marks another milestone for Ahmedabad with:
- Localized production of hybrid battery electrodes starting at Hansalpur.
- Exports of battery electric vehicles (EVs) to 100 countries being flagged off, strengthening India’s global presence in the green energy and EV sector.
Summary
Ahmedabad’s new ₹5,400 crore development projects underscore Gujarat’s role as a hub of industrial growth, sustainable infrastructure, and self-reliance. From strengthening farmer welfare and urban development to promoting green energy and global EV exports, the initiatives reflect India’s balanced approach to tradition and modernisation. With connectivity upgrades, industrial expansion, and cultural redevelopment projects like Sabarmati Ashram, Gujarat is set to reinforce its position as a key driver of India’s economic future.
