Satellite: An Active Yet Serene Neighbourhood.

Located in the western part of Ahmedabad, Satellite is primarily an upscale residential neighborhood. Before the 1960s, the area was largely farmland under villages like Jodhpur. As the city expanded its boundaries to meet the demand for serviced land for greenfield development, Satellite emerged as a key locality. Significant growth occurred in the 1990s with the establishment of Judges Bungalow residences and other government housing projects. Despite the availability of higher Floor Space Index (FSI), the area has seen little major redevelopment over the past two decades.
