Naranpura: An Affluent Residential Neighbourhood

Naranpura is situated in the western part of Ahmedabad along the western bank of Sabarmati River. Initially, it had predominant agricultural land but with various policy interventions, social, cultural, and political changes, the area transformed into a primarily residential area. It was included in the Residential Zone R-1 in the Ahmedabad Development Plan 2011. The proposed metro transit corridor passes through Naranpura making the area a Transit Oriented Development Zone with higher permissible FSI. The area has very good connectivity and moderately well walkability. It is undergoing transformation at a rapid pace and distinct change in built form.
