The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved Phase 2(A) of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail project, a major infrastructure initiative aimed at enhancing urban connectivity in Gujarat’s largest city.
The approved project includes a 6.032-kilometre extension of the metro network, improving connectivity between key residential, commercial, and transportation hubs. The expansion will seamlessly integrate with the existing Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Metro corridor, further strengthening public transport infrastructure in the region.
According to an official statement, Phase 2(A) will feature five stations, including four elevated stations and one underground station. The stations are Ashram Road, Koteshwar Prachin Mandir, Sabarmati River, Sardar Nagar, and Airport.
With the completion of this phase, the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Metro network will expand to a total length of 77.63 kilometres, significantly improving accessibility and reducing travel time for commuters.
