Road infrastructure works valued at Rs 1,185 crore have been sanctioned to enhance connectivity in the Surat Economic Region (SER). Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel sees this as a step towards Gujarat’s “Viksit Gujarat@2047” plan. The approved projects, spanning 383 kilometers across districts like Surat, Bharuch, Navsari, Valsad, Tapi, and Dang, aim to bolster economic growth.
The selected districts within the SER collectively contribute over 35% to Gujarat’s economic progress. Aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Viksit Bharat@2047” vision, these initiatives focus on fortifying infrastructure-led economic advancement in southern Gujarat. Patel emphasized the importance of realizing the “Viksit Bharat@2047” vision during the current Amrit Kaal.
These road upgrades are part of strategic plans to develop six growth hubs in Gujarat, ensuring balanced and comprehensive progress. The Gujarat State Institution for Transformation (GRIT) has formulated these plans, emphasizing long-term development based on infrastructure, innovation, individuals, and institutions. The SER has been identified as a key growth hub in South Gujarat under these plans.
Approving the initial set of projects worth Rs 1,185 crore for road infrastructure enhancement, Chief Minister Patel reiterated the government’s commitment to action. Gujarat aims to not only contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth but also lead in achieving set objectives. The state’s roadmap focuses on “Earning Well – Living Well” by bolstering the economy through sustained development.
