Today, Vastral is developing by leaps and bounds and is serving as an ideal option for the migrators and the people who are looking for an affordable living. Apart from expanding city, increasing demands, scaling migration, one of the major reasons of Vastral’s development is Vatva GIDC.
The employees and workers of these industries have settled nearby and substantial parts of Odhav and Vastral are occupied by them.Gradually in the last few years, the area started developing. Today’s Vastral is a residential heaven.From apartments to penthouses to bungalows and plots for individual houses, it is the most emerging residential locality of Ahmedabad that too at affordable rates. And there is no surprise that people from varied classes of society reside in Vastral.
It is a cosmopolitan area with larger chunk of Kathiyawadis. People from all walks of life narrow down on Vastral. A 1-BHK flat in Vastral would cost between Rs 15 25 lakh depending on the space and amenities provided. One thing that has played a major role in increasing the demand for Vastral is its strategic location.
It is on the juncture of several highways. It is on the periphery of Vadodara-Ahmedabad Expressway and GodhraAhmedabad Expressway.
Also, it is surrounded by the SP Ring Road which connects it to other parts of Ahmedabad.
There are hospitals, grocery stores, shops, schools in the area, but otherwise Vastral has majorly grown as residential locality.
The only factor that stood against the area is distance from old city and some major buildings, but soon this complaint shall dilute. Vastral is getting connected via Metro train to the West of Ahmedabad. Around seven lakh passengers will be boarding Metro from east part of the city to west and vice a versa.
This route will connect Apparel Park with Amraiwadi, Rabari Colony, Vastral, Nirant Cross Roads and Vastral Gam.
The first phase of work has begun between Vastral and Thaltej. Gradually, it is expected to proceed and ease lives of Vastral dwellers. Mohit Shenai, a resident says, “We shifted to Vastral some five years back and find the area absolutely peaceful and green. With upcoming metro rail projects, we feel our decision of investing here was right since the prices have already started soaring up. Many people are even investing to seek advantage of inflation that shall hit the area post functioning of metro. All in all, Vastral with tall standing buildings, open spaces, party plots and multistoreyed structures is the area that offers affordable living at its best.“
Anant Nikte, a resident, says, “Vastral is an emerging area and we are happy that we chose this place as with smart city transformation and development this area is immensely expected to flourish and reap back good returns.“
Sharing his view, another resident of Vastral, Tushar Pansare, avers, “We took time to get used to the extra travel time we have to adjust staying here, but barring that such peaceful, green, airy and spacious spot is rare to find in the metro city.“
