PM Modi inaugurates the Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway

The 109 km access-controlled expressway to Ahmedabad is open — the single biggest cut to Dholera's travel time yet, alongside ₹20,000 crore of Gujarat projects.

The Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway is open. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 109 km access-controlled highway — built at over ₹5,100 crore — as part of a package of Gujarat projects worth around ₹20,000 crore.

Four lanes wide and expandable to eight, it runs from the Sardar Patel Ring Road at Sarkhej in Ahmedabad to Bhavnagar district via the Dholera Special Investment Region, and forms part of the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor. It collapses the drive between Ahmedabad and the new city.

It does not run in isolation. The expressway ties into the Dholera International Airport, the planned metro, the Bhimnath freight line on the DMIC, and the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. Connectivity here is structural — engineered into the corridor plan, not promised for later.

For anyone weighing a plot, the expressway is the clearest proof yet that the corridor's backbone is being built, not just drawn.
