Central Home and Co‑operative Minister Amit Shah inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth approximately ₹1,400 crore in Ahmedabad, which will improve the city’s infrastructure and promote new concepts.
On Monday, 9 November 2026, a historic day was witnessed in Ahmedabad, the main city of Gujarat, when Union Home and Co‑operation Minister Mr. Amit Shah inaugurated projects that will give a new direction to the city’s development. On this occasion, the minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of various important development projects amounting to a total cost of approximately ₹1,400 crore, both completed and under construction. This step reflects the central government’s commitment to establishing Ahmedabad as a modern and progressive metropolitan city.
During his address at the ceremony, Mr. Amit Shah explained that these projects are not only constructing physical structures but are also designed to uplift the standard of living of city residents and make their daily lives easier. He said that the projects include the expansion of the city’s roads, improvement of the water‑supply system, extension of the green belt, and the establishment of modern public‑service centres. In particular, the new road network and metro extension plans will prove effective in reducing Ahmedabad’s congestion and traffic problems, thereby saving citizens both time and money.
The government’s investment will have a direct impact on the local economy as well. The minister expressed confidence that this ₹1,400 crore investment will energize local markets and create thousands of new employment opportunities. During construction and after the projects are completed, local craftsmen, engineers, and other technical workers will gain employment, giving regional development a fresh boost.
Ahmedabad’s mayor and local administrative officials congratulated the minister on this occasion and said that the projects align with the city’s expectations. Local residents also welcomed the initiative, as the growing population and commercial activities had long been putting pressure on the city’s infrastructure. The new projects will not only foster comprehensive development of the city but also help move it toward an environmentally friendly and smart‑city future.
During the ceremony, Minister Amit Shah also stated that the central government’s goal is to make every city a place where citizens can live comfortably and receive encouragement for every development opportunity. This ₹1,400 crore investment to develop Ahmedabad as a model city in this direction will prove to be a milestone. The event once again demonstrated that only through coordinated action between the centre and state governments can urban issues be resolved and work be done in the interest of citizens.
