India’s first International Financial Services Centre at GIFT City in Gandhinagar will be connected with metrorail network by the beginning of 2024, officials of Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) said on Saturday.
GIFT City will be connected to the metro rail network under the Rs 5,384 crore Phase-2 of the Ahmedabad Metro project. The second phase of constructions involves two elevated corridors.
The first corridor will begin at the Narendra Modi cricket stadium at Motera (where Phase-1 culminates) and extend northwards connecting Sector-1 and Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar. At the GNLU metro station, a short 5.42 kilometers of metrorail line will branch out eastwards and connect GIFT City across the dry riverbed of Sabarmati river.
