The Centre has sanctioned Rs 1,078.13 crore from the Central Road Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) for various significant road development initiatives in Gujarat. This decision comes after a review meeting in Gandhinagar on November 25, 2025, involving Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari.
This funding will facilitate 41 road projects under the state government, covering a total distance of 564.57 kilometers. The projects will focus on activities like widening, strengthening, resurfacing, and building structures to enhance road quality, safety, and connectivity.
The allocated amount includes Rs 636 crore for 11 widening projects on state highways across various districts like Patan, Kutch, Banaskantha, Kheda, and others. Additionally, Rs 408.33 crore will be utilized for 23 strengthening and resurfacing works in districts such as Ahmedabad, Anand, Tapi, and more.
Another Rs 33.80 crore has been approved for seven structural projects in Tapi, Surat, and Dang districts. State officials anticipate that these endeavors will significantly enhance transportation efficiency, reduce travel time, and bolster industrial and agricultural supply chains, thereby giving a substantial impetus to Gujarat’s economic growth.
