Ahmedabad metro is now extended till Thaltej gam

In a relief to commuters on the Thaltej route, the metro train running between Vastral gam and Thaltej has now been extended to Thaltej gam. 

From December 8, commuters can now access the extended route of the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) to reach Thaltej gam. The first train from Thaltej gam will begin at 6.20 am.

The GMRC's Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project has been divided into two phases, which include multiple lines and extensions to enhance urban mobility.

The first phase comprises two corridors with a total of 32 stations, of which 28 are elevated, and 4 are underground.

The East-West Corridor spans 20.91 km, including a 14.40 km elevated section and a 6.6 km underground section. 

Meanwhile, the North-South Corridor is 19.12 km long, consisting entirely of elevated sections. Phase 1 includes the Blue Line and Red Line. The Blue Line connects Thaltej gam with Vastral gam, while the Red Line operates between Motera Stadium and APMC.

The second phase of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project which was recently flagged off by PM Narendra Modi extends the North-South Metro Corridor.

The extension will connect GNLU, PDEU, GIFT City and Gandhinagar’s Sector-1, significantly improving urban mobility between the two cities.

The total rail line length is 28.2 km, comprising 22.8 km for the main line and 5.4 km for the branch line. The main line features 20 stations, while the branch line includes 2 stations.
