Ahmedabad, India (Metro Rail Today): The Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project has reached a significant milestone with the commencement of trial runs, marking a pivotal step towards enhancing urban connectivity in Gujarat. The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited (GMRCL) initiated the trial run on the GIFT City - GNLU section, unveiling the metro experience for the first time in GIFT City.

The introduction of the metro system not only enhances transportation efficiency but also contributes to the overall development and accessibility of key areas within Ahmedabad.
