Gujrat International Financial Tech City( GIFT)

Gujarat's GIFT zips into SEZ street

GANDHINAGAR: Ahmedabad’s aggressive claim as a global financial hub, streets ahead of Mumbai and rivalled only by the best in the world like
Manhattan, Shanghai, London and Singapore, got a sizzling punch with the Centre finally clearing a special economic zone (SEZ) status for the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT).

The clearance paves the way for developing 250 acres out of the total 500-acre GIFT project as an SEZ with a possible International Finance Service Centre status that would make it one of its kind project in the country.

The project will of course add a sizzling global touch to Ahmedabad’s skyline with its glitzy skyscrapers, including a 400-metre tall diamond faceted steel and glass Diamond Tower. After all, it is being designed by the Shanghai-based East China Architectural Design & Research Institute Co Ltd that has designed Shanghai’s Pearl Tower.

More importantly, GIFT will alter the contours of India’s financial skyline as well by setting towering global benchmarks in investments, exports and job creation. The multi-services SEZ, which is slated to bring in investments of over Rs 15,000 crore, is targeting exports worth $1 billion in the first three years beginning 2010, when the first phase of the project will become operational.

Exports are slated to zoom to $2 billion per annum by the fifth year and to $3 billion by 2020. These figures could shoot through the roof if the project bags an IFSC status. On the job front, GIFT is targeting nearly 1 million jobs by 2020, including a direct employment of 4 lakh.

The project that promises to catapult Ahmedabad into the global big league is being developed by the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City Company Ltd, a joint venture between the state-run Gujarat Urban Development Company (GUDC) and Infrastructure Lease and Financial Services (IL&FS).

And apart from the IFSC, the SEZ portion of GIFT will house an international techno park, STPI technology units, international market zone, stock exchanges and services units, international education zone, integrated townships, entertainment zone, hotels and convention centre and shopping malls.

And so excited has the project got global and domestic finance biggies as well as realtors that even before it has got off the ground, 13 memoranda of understanding have already been inked with nearly 40 million sq ft space being booked.

Jammu-Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (JUSBRL) project could easily be described as one of the biggest and most challenging railway project in the world. And in fact many railway engineers involved in the project believe this project as top of the list, even more challenging than the highly acclaimed and much talked about Tibet railway project completed by China.

Such a grand project, to my belief, deserves a thread of its own. To help this thread get started, I've scoured various places for relevant material and placed them below.
Some facts and a little bit of history can be found here.
Design features of the JUSBRL project can be found here (Warning: pdf link).
Some challenges faced from a geological aspects can be found in this article at Indian Society of Engineering Geology site.
Information about tunnels on the route can be found in this 2006 Activity Report of Tunneling Association of India, while some experiences related to tunneling on this project can be found in this book from Google library.
Salient features of the two major bridges on the route, the Chenab bridge and the Anjikhad bridge can be found here, here, here, here (has photos) (Warning: all these are pdf links), and here.

There is a combination of both at work.......most old planned cities have overhead wires.....but new and upcoming cities have underground Wires for Electricity and Communication.

All the poverty **** junkies, pls stick to the topic. The thread tries to highlight the development being done in India in the recent past / under progress.
