Prime Minister Narendra Modi left Gujarat for Delhi on Saturday afternoon after reviewing major development projects with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi.
The meeting covered the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), Sabarmati Ashram redevelopment and preparations for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
Officials said the Prime Minister assessed the progress of these initiatives before concluding his visit.
Dholera, located in Ahmedabad district, is emerging as a major industrial and investment destination. The planned industrial city focuses on advanced manufacturing and semiconductor production.
Tata Electronics is establishing a semiconductor fabrication plant in the region. The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway has also become operational, while the state government is developing airport and railway connectivity.
The Centre and Gujarat government are jointly undertaking the ₹1,200 crore Sabarmati Ashram redevelopment project.
Spread across 55 acres, the initiative aims to restore 28 heritage buildings and develop museums and visitor facilities while preserving the original five-acre ashram.
Ahmedabad will play a central role in Gujarat’s preparations for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
The state government has allocated ₹301 crore for preparations, including ₹200 crore towards the host fee. It has also established the Amdavad 2030 Commonwealth Games Organisation to oversee planning and management.
The Prime Minister’s meeting followed his overnight stay at Lok Bhavan in Gandhinagar. On Friday evening, he attended a Gujarati New Year dinner with Patel, Sanghavi and state ministers.
His scheduled visit to Ambaji Temple on Saturday was postponed due to the expected rush of devotees during the festive period. Sanghavi said PM Modi would visit the shrine on another occasion to seek Maa Amba’s blessings.
