Chief Minister Patel received a ceremonial welcome from Sushil Kumar Singh, IRSME, Chairman of DPA, upon his arrival at the Port Township in Gopalpuri, Gandhidham.

Reiterating its role as a key driver of socio-economic growth in Kachchh, DPA Kandla has partnered with the municipal administration to execute several urban improvement, sanitation and beautification projects aimed at enhancing civic amenities and improving overall quality of life in the Gandhidham–Adipur urban belt.

A major highlight is the redevelopment of Heritage Road, stretching from the Sardar Patel Statue to Gandhi Market. The project will feature new landscaping, aesthetic upgrades and pedestrian-friendly interventions to enhance the city’s visual appeal and ease movement.

Another key initiative is the planned transformation of Lilashah Circle into the DPA Green Hydrogen Park — envisioned as a symbolic landmark celebrating Gandhidham as India’s first Green Hydrogen City, reinforcing Gujarat’s growing prominence in renewable energy.

DPA will also adopt and upgrade two important public junctions, Jhanda Chowk and Adipur Circle, enhancing them into modern civic spaces.

Further demonstrating its community-first approach, DPA has committed support to a comprehensive Swachh Gandhidham Sanitation Drive. The initiative, spanning 24 months, will include both mechanised and manual cleaning services across the city’s East Zone.

Through these initiatives, the Deendayal Port Authority strengthens its commitment to sustainable development and public welfare, cementing its role as a major contributor to growth and modernisation in western Gujarat.
