The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) is working rapidly to operationalize the 28 km route from Motera to Mahatma Mandir in the state capital under the Ahmedabad Metro Phase-2 project. Under this project, around 16 km of the route from Motera to Gandhinagar Sector-1 and a 5 km stretch from GNLU to PDPU to Gift City have been completed. Final inspections are currently underway and expected to conclude within a day.
Amendments will be made based on necessary suggestions from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), a process likely to take about a month. As a result, metro train operations on this new 21 km route from Motera are anticipated to commence anytime in August.
A total of 22 stations will be established along the 28 km corridor, with 13 stations ready on the Motera-Sector 1 route and 2 stations ready on the GNLU-Gift City route. Currently, the track, signal systems, coaches, and stations have undergone inspection by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety team. Work on the Sector-1 to Mahatma Mandir route is also progressing rapidly, aiming for completion by year-end.
