Hi Mr Jack,

Lies on the Golden Quadrilateral highway system. Connected to NH-8 (Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor) via a 16-km connector highway. Has a good local transport system, and excellent civic and social infrastructure. The Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) has eased commuting for several commuters in the city.

@ Mr Jack,

As per my own experience , Surat has a good thriving real estate, owing to the growth in the city’s infrastructure and economy. However interestingly, Surat doesn’t yet witness much of an apartment culture. One may however find a number of villa projects here. There are villas of various configurations available here.

Hi Guys,

Realty prices in Surat are in the range of Rs 2,100-6,000 per sq. ft. This means that one may be able to buy a villa in the city for a budget of Rs 30 lakh-3 crore, depending on the location, configuration and the dimension of the plot. There are also villas available at a higher budget. Most of the areas such as Adajan, Vesu and Piplod have witnessed good appreciation in property prices in the last one year. The approximate price appreciation in these areas were about 13-15 per cent in one year alone.

Hi Guys,

In my point of view, Surat has thriving manufacturing and IT sectors. Some of the prominent companies established here include GAIL, ONGC, Ambuja Cement, ESSAR Group of Industries, L&T, Reliance Petroleum, Cairn India Ltd, Shell, IBM, Wipro and HCL.

Hi Jack,

As per my knowledge, Surat has excellent connectivity to other major cities such as Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore via road, air and rail. Has excellent highways such as Surat-Ahmedabad Highway, Udhana-Mumbai Highway and Udhana-Navsari Highway.

Hi Jack,

According to me, also known as the diamond city, Surat is the most important city in Gujarat, after Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. Famous for its diamond trade with different parts of India and overseas, the city is now set to host a smart city in the state of Gujarat. The DREAM City which is being created in Surat is expected to be the next smart city after the GIFT City in Ahmedabad.

@ Jack,

That is right Jyothi. Thriving diamond trade between the city and major parts of India and the world. It is also a major hub for diamond cutting and polishing in the world. Aptly called the diamond city of India. Also has a thriving textile industry, including silk and cotton production. Surat is the biggest centre of man-made fibre in India.
