Gujarat goes for ₹3,500-cr four lanes expressway

The Gujarat government has started the development work of the Ahmedabad-Dholera four-lane expressway project involving an investment of ₹3,500 crore. The state government has approved work orders for 700 MW solar power generations within the Special Industrial Region (SIR) and the power generation and expressway projects worth ₹8,500 crore are likely to kick off after the monsoon. Manoj Das, additional chief secretary (ACS) to the CM, informed that the 110-km four-lane expressway project is expected to be completed between 18 and 24 months and he is overseeing the implementation of the Dholea SIR project. Land acquisition for the project has been completed and the tendering process is over. The Ahmedabad-Dholera expressway will have more advanced features than the Ahmedabad-Vadodara expressway. The infrastructure projects worth over ₹3,000 crore are in full swing within the Special Industrial Region and the four-lane expressway will attract investment to the area in coming days.
