Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and GIFT City are poised to become the epicenter of Gujarat’s rapid development. Projections estimate their combined population will reach 30 million in the next decade. Ahmedabad is set to drive this growth, bolstered by ambitious projects like the bullet train, riverfront extensions, and new amusement parks, which aim to put the city on the global map.
GIFT City is envisioned as an international trade and finance hub, with infrastructure designed to meet the needs of the next 50 years. This transformation will have a direct positive impact on both Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The three cities will be seamlessly linked by a Metro Rail system, with connectivity between Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and GIFT City expected by August. This connectivity will facilitate the development of roads, bridges, amusement parks, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.
Significant investments are anticipated across various sectors in this tri-city region over the next decade. Within the next five years, Ahmedabad will see substantial infrastructural upgrades, including constructing 12 new flyovers and extending the riverfront to Gandhinagar in its fifth phase.
GIFT City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) is projected to handle financial transactions worth $1 trillion, playing a crucial role in India’s ambition to become the world’s third-largest economy. This economic activity will boost the state’s economy and contribute significantly to the national GDP.
By 2041, Ahmedabad’s population is expected to reach 13 million. The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) proactively plans to accommodate this growth, ensuring sustainable development. With Gandhinagar’s ample open spaces, the city is set to evolve into a new tourism and entertainment hub, complementing its goal of becoming Gujarat’s new IT hub.
As these transformative projects take shape, Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar-GIFT City is set to redefine the region’s landscape, driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for its residents.
