Nikol, is located in eastern Ahmedabad, has evolved from farmland into a residential area. Initially driven by proximity to the Odhav GIDC, unregulated development prompted AUDA's intervention, leading to infrastructure projects like Virat Nagar Road and government housing schemes. Today, Nikol showcases diverse urban typologies: organized apartment clusters with commercial integration, affordable yet less porous row houses catering to dependent populations, and Gamtal areas with organic, low-rise development. Despite its varied socio-economic patterns, Nikol struggles with limited public transport connectivity, reflecting a mix of urban opportunities and challenges.
