Gujarat on the Fast Track: ₹1,400 Crore Infrastructure Boost

Gujarat is set for a significant infrastructure upgrade with projects worth over ₹1,400 crore, aimed at enhancing railway connectivity, logistics efficiency, and regional development. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off a new passenger train between Katosan Road and Sabarmati, improving access to religious destinations and stimulating local economic activity.

A new car-loaded freight service from Becharaji will also be launched to strengthen industrial logistics, particularly benefiting Gujarat’s thriving automobile and manufacturing sectors.

Key railway projects include:

Doubling of the 65 km Mehsana–Palanpur line at a cost of ₹537 crore, Broad-gauge conversion of the 37 km Kalol–Kadi–Katosan Road line at ₹347 crore, Conversion of the 40 km Becharaji–Ranuj line at ₹520 crore

Complementing the rail upgrades, the Prime Minister will inaugurate several key road infrastructure developments, including:

Widening of the Viramgam–Khudad–Rampura road, A six-lane underpass on the Ahmedabad–Mehsana–Palanpur highway, A new overbridge on the Ahmedabad–Viramgam route

Together, these initiatives are poised to make travel and freight movement faster, safer, and more efficient, while giving a strong boost to regional trade, connectivity, and socio-economic growth in North Gujarat.
