The initiation of trial runs is a crucial step in ensuring the seamless operation and safety of the metro system. The Gandhinagar section, part of Ahmedabad Metro's Phase 2, is designed to cater to the increasing transportation needs of residents and commuters, providing an efficient and sustainable mode of travel.

The expansion of the metro system reflects a commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the city's residents while promoting a cleaner and more sustainable mode of transportation.
