This inauguration is symbolic for SYSTRA because it marks the completion of phase 1 of this unprecedented metro project. Our SYSTRA India team was part of this grand inauguration which marks the commissioning, in one go, of one of the longest sections of metro in the country.

A first inauguration of the Ahmedabad Metro took place in early 2019 on an initial section. The first line of the network, running east-west, has now been completed, as has SYSTRA’s assignment, while the authorities have already begun work on a second line running north-south.
