Ahmedabad Metro to Link City with Airport via New Extension

16 Jun 2025 CW Team

The government has approved the extension of Ahmedabad Metro Phase-2A, a strategic 6.03-kilometre link from Koteshwar to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. This development aims to enhance connectivity between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, easing traffic congestion and offering a sustainable transit alternative for air passengers and airport staff.

The metro extension forms part of the city’s broader efforts to modernise urban mobility and strengthen public transport. By integrating the metro directly with the airport, the project is expected to offer eco-friendly and efficient travel, reducing reliance on private vehicles.

The link is also projected to provide a significant economic boost to the region. Improved airport access is likely to attract more tourists and business travellers, increasing passenger footfall and supporting the local hospitality and services sectors. The metro’s reliable operations could become a key enabler for both commuter convenience and economic development.

The government has stressed the importance of ensuring safe construction practices, environmental compliance, and minimal disruption to surrounding communities during the build phase. The project also underscores the administration’s continued push towards sustainable urban development and climate-conscious infrastructure.

Once completed, this extension will be a vital component of Ahmedabad’s integrated metro network, positioning the city as a model for airport-metro integration in India and encouraging similar mobility solutions in other metros.
