The train, operating at a speed of 320 km/hr, is expected to carry 17,900 passengers daily in each direction, providing a significant boost to industries like cement and steel.
The Dholera Solar Park, located 80 km from Ahmedabad, is India’s largest solar project with a capacity of 5,000 MW. Situated within the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), the park spans 11,000 hectares and employs cutting-edge solar technology. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel emphasises the importance of Special Investment Regions, with Dholera SIR being India’s largest greenfield industrial investment region.
The Sabarmati high-speed rail station is transforming into a multimodal transport hub, strategically positioned near Sabarmati stations, Metro, and BRTS stops. This project aims to seamlessly connect high-speed rail with Indian Railways, showcasing Gujarat’s commitment to modern and sustainable infrastructure.
The Gujarat Hybrid Renewable Energy Park, a mega project near the India-Pakistan border in Kutch district, is set to revolutionize India’s energy landscape with an investment of Rs 1.5 lakh crore. Integrating solar panels and wind turbines, the park aims to yield 30 Gigawatts of sustainable power, benefiting the youth of Kutch directly.
