In a major infrastructure boost for Surat, the city is now set to get surat metro connectivity to the upcoming High-Speed Rail (HSR) Bullet Train station. The Gujarat government has proposed a new 4.4-kilometre metro corridor connecting Saroli to the HSR station located near Antroli.
The proposed route is expected to significantly improve urban transportation and provide seamless travel access for passengers using the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train corridor in the future. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the metro expansion has already been submitted to the ministry, and the project is currently awaiting final approval from the central authorities.
Three New Metro Stations Planned on the Route
Under the proposed metro extension, three new metro stations will be developed:
- Kalpataru Metro Station
- Ambaba College Metro Station
- Surat HSR Metro Station
The new route will directly benefit rapidly developing areas including Chedchha, Vedchha, and Antroli by offering faster and more convenient public transportation facilities. Officials believe the new connectivity will help reduce travel time and traffic congestion while improving access to the future bullet train station.

The direct integration between Surat Metro and the Bullet Train network is expected to transform public transportation in South Gujarat. Once operational, commuters will be able to travel smoothly between different parts of the city and the HSR terminal without relying heavily on private vehicles.
Experts believe the project could also positively impact real estate growth, commercial development, and economic activity in surrounding regions.

The ongoing expansion of Surat Metro reflects the government’s broader vision to make Surat one of India’s most connected and future-ready urban centers.
Surat Emerging as a Major Infrastructure Hub
Over the past few years, Surat has witnessed rapid development in transportation, smart city projects, and industrial infrastructure. With metro expansion, the upcoming bullet train station, and improved urban planning, the city is steadily positioning itself among India’s fastest-growing metropolitan regions.
The proposed metro extension to the HSR station is expected to become a game-changing development for daily commuters, business travelers, and future bullet train passengers alike.
