India’s infrastructure push received a major boost as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and launched multiple development projects worth over ₹20,000 crore in Gujarat, including the much-awaited Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway.
These projects are expected to significantly accelerate connectivity, industrial development, and investment opportunities—especially in the rapidly growing Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR).
Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway: A Game Changer
