Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated the second phase of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Extension. After the inauguration, Prime Minister Modi also took a ride on the metro train from Section 1 Metro Station to GIFT City Metro Station along with Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. The second phase of the metro rail network has been developed by Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) in collaboration with the Center and the Government of Gujarat.
According to official information, the first part of Phase-2 is 21 km long. It initially includes 8 new stations. This new route of Metro Rail will connect major places like GNLU, PDEU, GIFT City, Raison, Randeson, Dholkuwa, Infocity and Sector-1 between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The new phase from Motera to Sector One of Gandhinagar will connect important centers like GIFT City, which will provide convenience to professionals, students and tourists.
The total project cost for phase two was Rs 5,384 crore, for which funds were raised through loans from international agencies like AFD and KfW. The extension of the metro rail route will reduce the travel time between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar considerably. Passengers will be able to travel between APMC and Gifty City in less than an hour by paying Rs 35. This extension of the metro rail has solved the connectivity problem between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
Earlier, PM Modi inaugurated the 4th Global Renewable Energy Investor Conference and Expo (RE-INVEST) at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar. On this occasion, he said that we are building 7 crore houses in the country. This is more than the population of many countries of the world.
The PM said- You all know that the people of India have given a third term to a government after 60 years. We have many expectations from the third term given to our government.
The PM said that today 140 crore Indians, youth and women are confident that the wings that have been given to their aspirations in the last 10 years will take a new flight in this third term. The poor, Dalits, victims, exploited and deprived of the country are confident that our third term will guarantee them a dignified life. We are working with the resolve to rapidly reach the top three economies. This is part of a big vision, a big mission.
