The renowned Sobha Group of Dubai has promised a staggering Rs 1,000 crore to the building of the the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, marking an unprecedented step toward foreign investment in Indian infrastructure projects.
This kind gift underlines not just the importance of the endeavor but also the expanding trade connections between Indian and the UAE. Here is a detailed analysis of this development.
The 1976-founded Sobha Group, which has its roots in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has developed into one of the major real estate builders in the area. The organization has completed multiple famous projects in both India and the Middle East under the direction of its founder at P.N.C. Menon.
A memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Gujarati government & the Dubai-based Sobha Company for the creation of the the Sabarmati Riverfront Project’s third phase.
The MoU was executed in the presence of Gujarat’s chief minister, Bhupendra Patel.
The Sobha Group’s founder, PNC Menon, committed to donating Rs 1,000 crore during the ensuing five years for the construction of the the Sabarmati Riverfront. His past promise to donate half of his own wealth to organizations that benefit regional communities and advance the general development and prosperity of the country is reflected in this donation.
The Ahmedabad Municipality Corporation (AMC) created a special purpose vehicle (SPV), Sabarmati River Development Corporations Limited (SRFDCL) in 1997 with the goal of transforming the Sabarmati Waterfront into a key urban resource for the city.The project is divided into three parts. Phase 1 of the development included 11.5 km of promenades for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists to get to the lake. It has a lot of public amenities at the municipal level, including stunning gardens and parks, riverfront walkways, the Atal the Bridge, a park devoted to biodiversity, state-of-the-art athletic venues, and an event space.
Authorized in October 2020, the upcoming second phase of River East would extend the existing 11.5 km by 5.8 km.
In order to provide equitable, sustainable, and vibrant urban regions that empowers people and foster economic growth, the third stage of the project will be carried out in collaboration between SOBHA Realty Dubai with the state of Gujarat government.
Another section of the Sabarmati riverfront will be transformed over the 4.5 km stretch of the third phase, which will feature artistic development on both sides of the river.
The Sobha Group, which is renowned for its dedication to quality, prompt delivery, and creative designs, invested in the Sabarmati Riverfront project because they recognized India’s potential for growth.
The Ahmedabad Municipality Corporation (AMC) has launched the ambitious Sabarmati Waterfront Development Project in an effort to revitalize the Sabarmati River, which flows through the city.
