For the purpose of estimating project costs, the cost of reclaiming the entire 162.80 ha has been considered. Therefore the cost of reclaiming the area that may not eventually be available for development has been included.

Finalplot
Riverbed Land
The SRFD Proposal envisages a comprehensive development of the reclaimed portion of the riverbed in a manner that a maximum number of public facilities and benefits are created for Ahmedabad. To make this financially feasible without having to rely on public expenditure the proposal envisages the sale of a portion of the reclaimed land to raise resources for the entire development. This is in keeping with all earlier riverfront development proposals.
