Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (31 March) inaugurated the Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway, an access-controlled highway constructed at an estimated cost of more than Rs 5,100 crore.
The corridor is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Ahmedabad and the upcoming industrial hub of Dholera.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for several road infrastructure projects, including the four-lane Idar–Badoli bypass with paved shoulders and the upgradation of the Dholavira–Mauvana–Vauva–Santalpur stretch of National Highway 754K into a two-lane paved shoulder carriageway.
Another major project announced was a flyover at Bhaijipura Junction on the Gandhinagar–Koba–Airport Road, which is expected to ease traffic congestion and provide organised parking facilities beneath the elevated structure.
Addressing a public gathering, the Prime Minister highlighted Gujarat’s strong progress in renewable energy, noting that the state now leads India in solar power generation.
Recalling his tenure as Chief Minister in 2010, he said the establishment of a multi-technology solar park helped trigger the solar energy movement in the state and laid the foundation for Gujarat’s current leadership in renewable energy development.
