2 City Profile
2.1 Introduction
Surat is India's eighth and Gujarat's
second most populous city with a
population of 4.4 million (2011). It is one of
the economic power-house of Gujarat. The
city's economy is essentially based on two
industries, textile and diamond cutting and
polishing industry. In recent years the
intensification of oil and gas exploration
activities has led to expansion of the
economic base to gas based industries at
Hazira. For this reason the city has been a
huge magnet for migration from all over the state and the country. Surat has been experiencing an
average annual growth of population, more than 6% making it the 8 th largest city in terms of population.
With the growth of number of SEZs in the region, it is expected that the population of the city would
reach 80 to 90 lakhs by 2031.
The city of Surat, second largest in the state, has been experiencing exceptionally high rate of growth
over the past four decades. Surat city is one of the most important city on the industrial map of the
country with many large industries developed over here. The industrial sector, both factory and small
scale sectors, is the major contributing
factor for the rapid growth. It is an
industrial hub for the production of
synthetic fibers and man-made
fabrics, contributing almost 28% of
India's total synthetic fiber output and
40% of the nation's total man-made
fabric production and computerized
embroidery work. The economic base
of Surat are traditionally dominated by
small scale manufacturing units consists of textile manufacturing, Jari, dyeing and printing which were
largely home based and cater to the domestic market, trade, diamond cutting and polishing industries,
intricate Zari works, chemical industries and the petrochemical and natural gas based industries of
GIDC and Hazira industrial estates has further acerbated the rate of growth. The dynamism seen in the
urban economy of Surat has brought large number of people from all over the country to Surat in
search of suitable source of livelihood.

3 Site Appreciation
The assessment of the project site has been carried out in the context of its strengths, connectivity,
surroundings, types of developments and future potential of nearby area etc.
Surat railway station is one of the busiest stations on western railway line. The existing railway station
building was built in 1860 and after that no major changes has been done in main station building. The
main station building is located on the west side while the second entry is from east side. At present
there are total 4 platforms three FOBs and one sub-way for station building. Apart from main station
building the railway station vicinity has yard area and staff quarters at east side with existing passenger
and train traffic Surat railway station falls under A+ category.
Presently, Station caters to an average of more than 1,59,000 passengers per day with an average 124
pairs of Trains, out of which 106 Trains on the UP Line and similar 106 and the rest on the
Bhusavalside, Udhana station in the UP Direction at 3.99 km and Utran Station in the DOWN Direction
at a distance of 3.69 km. from the Surat Railway Station.
The site is located adjacent to busy station road, Surat-Kamrej Highway (Varachha road) and GSRTC
Central Bus stand.
Total project land area for development of Multi-Modal Transport Hub at Surat Railway Station are -
Out of the total permissible FSI for development of project,Built up area to be reserve for Administrative
Zone, Operational Zone, Passenger Facility Zone, Passenger Transfer/Transit Zone, and Infrastructure

3.3 Connectivity
The existing railway station is bounded by Unapani road on western side, Varachha Road on the
Northern side, Lambe Hanuman on the Southern side. Approach to the Eastern side of the station
building is through railway station road which leads from Lambe Hanuman road on the southern side.
This road terminates in front of the present booking office and the vehicles have to turn back to exit on
the same road i.e. there is no proper connectivity between Lambe Hanuman road and Varachha road
as approach to station building thereby the passengers have to necessarily come to western side of the
station building.
Following are few photos indicating the road connectivity to project site:
As stated earlier, the project site is situated at adjacent to busy station road, Surat-Kamrej Highway
(Varachha road) and GSRTC Central Bus stand. The main station building is located on the west side
while the second entry is from Lambe Hanuman Road from south side and adjacent to Varachha Road
from North side. The immediate surroundings of project site consists of Railway Colony on the Eastern
side adjacent to station building, while Railway Yard and GSRTC Bus Depot and Lambe Hanuman
Road on the Southern side.On the West side there is GSRTC Bus Stand and Commercial shops,
Restaurants and Hotels, while on the Northern side followed by Varacha Road, Commercial shops,
Restaurants and Hotels, Ayurvedic College and Office Space. The vicinty area of project site is
surrounded by number of Commercial shops, Hotels and Restaurants, Offices and Small and medium
