Gujarat CM Inaugurates Rs 550 Crore Atal Smart City Project in Rajkot

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the Atal Smart City in Rajkot on Friday, a cutting-edge urban development project under the central government’s Smart City Mission. Located in the Raiya area, this expansive initiative spans 930 acres and has been developed at a cost of Rs 550 crore.

The Atal Smart City is designed to accommodate approximately four lakh residents, providing them with modern amenities and robust infrastructure. The project, which began on August 23, 2019, is set to be fully operational by November 19, 2024. A key highlight of the development is its focus on sustainability, with the retention of natural drainage systems and tree plantations along drains to prevent encroachment. The city’s power supply infrastructure includes power ducts, eliminating the need for overhead lines, and laying the groundwork for future development, such as double-decker buses. The road network is planned for long-term growth, with roads ranging from 18 meters to 60 meters in width to accommodate future transportation needs. The Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has developed 18.21 km of integrated roads and an 8.51 km BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit System) corridor, complete with 15 sophisticated bus stops. The city also boasts a 24/7 potable water supply system and a recycled water system, which includes two separate water lines—one for potable water and another for recycled water, expected to save 30% of potable water usage.

The 56 MLD sewage treatment plant (STP) and tertiary treatment plant ensure efficient water treatment. The stormwater drainage system is designed to conserve rainwater, with rainwater directed to Atal Sarovar lakes for storage and reuse. Additionally, special RCC ducts have been installed for 66KV power cables and optical fiber networks, ensuring no need for road digging in the future. The city promotes eco-friendly transportation with a 14 km cycle track and footpaths, providing easy access for pedestrians and cyclists. With these advanced features, Atal Smart City in Rajkot is set to become a model for sustainable urban development, offering a modern, comfortable, and eco-friendly living experience to its residents.
