Ahmedabad Gets Massive Tech Boost as Amit Shah Launches Million Minds Tech City Phase-1
Ahmedabad is set to become one of India’s major technology and business hubs with the launch of Phase-1 of Million Minds Tech City, a large integrated tech park and mixed-use development project by Ganesh Housing near the GIFT City corridor in Gujarat.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the first phase of the project, which is being developed as Gujarat’s first IGBC Platinum-rated SEZ IT Park and integrated tech city.
The ambitious project aims to attract Global Capability Centres (GCCs), IT companies, startups and AI-focused businesses while generating nearly 70,000 high-skill jobs across multiple development phases.
What Is Million Minds Tech City?
Million Minds Tech City is a large integrated technology and business ecosystem being developed near Vaishnodevi Circle along the GIFT City–Gandhinagar corridor in Ahmedabad.
The project follows a “city within a city” concept and is expected to be completed in seven phases with a planned investment of approximately ₹15,000 crore.
It is also Gujarat’s first IGBC Platinum-rated SEZ IT Park and integrated technology city project.
Key Features of the Tech City
The large-scale development will include:
• Around 65 acres of development area
• Nearly 1 crore sq ft of Grade-A office space
• Around 60 lakh sq ft of residential development
• Nearly 20 lakh sq ft of retail, hospitality and lifestyle infrastructure
• Direct connectivity to GIFT City and Ahmedabad International Airport
The project is expected to become a major destination for IT companies, startups, multinational firms and Global Capability Centres.
Project Expected to Create 70,000 Jobs
Million Minds Tech City aims to generate nearly 70,000 high-skill employment opportunities across different stages of development, making it one of Gujarat’s largest upcoming job-focused technology projects.
Officials stated that approximately 9,000 high-skill jobs are expected to be created during the first phase alone.
The development is being positioned as a future hub for AI-driven businesses, technology companies and GCC operations expanding in India.
Integrated Office, Housing and Lifestyle Infrastructure
Million Minds Tech City will feature commercial office towers, residential housing projects and lifestyle infrastructure within a single integrated ecosystem.
One of the key developments, the M-One premium office tower, includes 15 floors with approximately 42,000 sq ft carpet area per floor and a 4.2-meter ceiling height designed for modern corporate workspaces.
The larger master plan also includes shopping areas, hospitality projects and urban lifestyle infrastructure aimed at supporting professionals and businesses.
Developers stated that the project has been designed to provide flexible office spaces along with modern urban infrastructure for technology and corporate companies.
Strategic Connectivity and Prime Location
One of the major advantages of Million Minds Tech City is its strategic location near S.G. Highway and the GIFT City corridor.
The project offers direct connectivity to GIFT City, Ahmedabad International Airport and several major corporate hubs, including offices of companies such as Zydus and Adani Group.
This connectivity is expected to help attract multinational corporations, global technology firms and GCC investments to Gujarat.

During the inauguration event, Amit Shah highlighted Gujarat’s industrial growth journey since 2002 and emphasized the increasing importance of technology and service-based industries.
He stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has placed strong focus on innovation, Global Capability Centres, technology parks and AI-driven economic growth.

Rs 500 Crore Educational Expansion Also Announced
Alongside the tech city inauguration, a real estate-focused educational institution was also launched during the event.
Officials announced plans to expand the institute across nearly 100 acres with an estimated investment of around ₹500 crore.
The initiative aims to strengthen education, research and professional training in urban planning, infrastructure and real estate development.
Conclusion
The launch of Million Minds Tech City marks a major step in Ahmedabad’s transformation into a future-ready technology and innovation hub.
With large-scale office infrastructure, residential development, AI-focused business opportunities and strong connectivity, the project could play an important role in Gujarat’s growing position within India’s digital and technology economy.
