Metro now connects GIFT City - live since Jan 2026
You're buying into2036 Ahmedabad.Not 2026.
A home bought today sits inside a decade of infrastructure that hasn't finished arriving - metro lines still being laid, a finance city still filling up, a stadium district being built for a Games this city is chasing. Here's what's actually happening, and why it matters to where you buy.
- The decade ahead
2026 to 2036, one city building.
Not projections - commitments already in motion. Each mark below is dated, sourced, and either operational, confirmed, or formally underway.
Metro reaches GIFT City
The Violet Line connecting GNLU to GIFT City has been operational since January 2026 - Ahmedabad's finance district is now a metro ride away.
GIFT City fills in
Phase 2B extends the Violet Line from GIFT City to Shahpur Circle, and a proposed loop line is on the table - GIFT keeps adding stations as it adds offices.
Commonwealth Games
Ahmedabad has been confirmed as host for the 2030 Commonwealth Games - the city's first turn hosting a multi-nation event of this scale.
Airport corridor
A Koteshwar Road–SVP Airport metro spur is mapped into Phase 3, tightening the line between the airport and the rest of the city.
An Olympic city
Ahmedabad is India's formally proposed host city for the 2036 Olympic Games - with a 650-acre sports enclave already taking shape near Motera, regardless of the bid's outcome.
- Infrastructure
What's actually being built.
Metro, expanding
68 km live across the Red, Blue and Violet lines - now reaching GIFT City, with Phase 2B and an airport spur already mapped.
GIFT City
India's international finance and tech hub, minutes from South Bopal and Shela by the new metro corridor - a generational employment driver next door.
Airport, connecting
SVP International Airport is set to gain a direct metro spur under Phase 3, shortening the city's link to the world.
2030 Commonwealth Games
Confirmed host city status brings a wave of sporting, hospitality and transit infrastructure - built to last well beyond the Games themselves.
2036 Olympic bid
Ahmedabad is India's formally proposed city for the 2036 Olympics, with a 650-acre Sardar Patel Sports Enclave already under development near Motera.
Industrial corridor
The Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor runs through Gujarat, anchoring Ahmedabad's role as a logistics and manufacturing base for western India.
Why the timing matters
Infrastructure-led growth corridors are, historically, where real estate in Indian cities appreciates fastest in the years just before and after major transit and event infrastructure goes live. Resset doesn't quote speculative numbers - we build where the infrastructure is already committed, not where it's only promised.
- A city that lives well
India's first UNESCO World Heritage City.
The old city's pols and stepwells sit a short drive from glass-fronted GIFT towers - a 600-year-old walled city and a 2036 ambition, on the same map. Add a riverfront, a thriving food culture, and a calmer pace than Mumbai or Bangalore, and the everyday case for Ahmedabad holds up as well as the investment one.
- How it compares
Set beside Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore.
Cost of living vs Mumbai
Significantly lower
More home, for less

Less sprawl than peers
General directional comparison based on cost-of-living and infrastructure reporting; figures vary by neighbourhood and should be verified for any specific decision.
A city we've read
for 19 years.
- Where Resset builds
Three corridors, one trajectory.
South Bopal
Schools, hospitals and the SP Ring Road already in place - South Bopal has spent a decade maturing into one of West Ahmedabad's most livable corridors.
Shela
Adjacent, lower-entry pricing, and absorbing the same infrastructure spillover - Shela is where South Bopal's growth story is repeating, earlier in the curve.
Telav
Furthest out, closest to tomorrow's road and metro extensions - Telav is the corridor for buyers reading the city the way Resset does: ahead of it.
- Buy Ahead Of The City
Decide where you'll be in 2036.
We'll walk you through the corridor that matches your timeline - whether that's South Bopal today, or Telav ahead of where the city is headed.
