To lay the foundation stone for the railway station, President Ram Nath Kovind had visited Kevadia in Gujarat in December 2018, which is around five kilometres away from the world’s tallest- 182-metre tall Statue of Unity. According to the report, the railway station is aimed at providing direct Indian Railways’ connectivity to tourists visiting the Statue of Unity in Gujarat. The Indian Railways’ broad gauge line would connect Kevadia with the city of Vadodara.
The metro train service in Ahmedabad is divided into two phases. While the city of Ahmedabad will be covered in the first phase of the project, nearby Gandhinagar will be connected in the metro project’s second phase. In the month of March 2019, the Prime Minister had inaugurated Ahmedabad Metro’s 6.5 km long stretch. The first phase of the Ahmedabad Metro network has two corridors- one corridor is from Vastral to Thaltej Gam, while the other corridor is from Gyaspur depot to Motera stadium in the city. For phase-II of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project, the Union Cabinet had given approval in February 2019. Earlier, the authorities had said the second phase will be from Motera cricket stadium till Gandhinagar.
