Speaking on the occasion, Ravi Menon, chairman of Sobha Limited said, “Ahmedabad is a prominent business centre of Gujarat. It is the second-largest cotton textile centre in India, after Mumbai, with equally strong pharma, petrochemical and automobile industries. Rapid infrastructure development over the years, has augmented the IT and ITeS sectors tremendously, making it an important investment destination. These have given a fillip to the commercial and residential real estate markets in the city. To fulfil this increasing demand, the government of Gujarat initiated the integrated city project of GIFT City, between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, where Sobha will contribute significantly, in fulfilling the residential demand.”
