Ahmedabad, 12 February, 2026: In view of Ahmedabad’s preparations to position itself on the global stage with the upcoming 2030 Commonwealth Games, Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will host AmdavadNXT, a three-day public exhibition and convening from 21–23 February 2026 at Riverfront House, Ahmedabad.
Three-day exhibition and convening at Riverfront House from Feb 21–23; Open for all.
As the city advances its long-term development priorities, AMC is initiating this platform to strengthen public transport as a key component of an inclusive, people-centric and climate-resilient mobility system. The initiative aims to facilitate informed public dialogue and stakeholder engagement through an interactive display of Ahmedabad’s future mobility.
This one-of-a-kind initiative is being organised by AMC under the SHIFT Transport coalition, in partnership with WRI India, TUL Foundation, UrbanVoices, aProCh, MYBYK and other stakeholders.
On the importance of AmdavadNXT, Municipal Commissioner, Shri Banchhanidhi Pani, IAS, said, “As Ahmedabad continues to grow as an economic and cultural hub with a global future, our mobility systems must evolve in tandem. AmdavadNXT is an important step towards bringing together institutions, experts and citizens to collectively envision a public transport system that is safe, inclusive, and sustainable. By strengthening integration, accessibility and public engagement, we aim to make public transport the backbone of Ahmedabad’s urban future.”
“We invite all educational institutions to bring their students to AmdavadNXT. The exhibition, with interactive sessions and games, will prove to be a learning opportunity for students,” he added.
The exhibition and convening will present Ahmedabad’s public transport journey and future opportunities through maps, infographics, multimedia installations and interactive tools, along with panel discussions and fireside chats, to make transport planning more accessible to citizens. It will also feature best practices in mobility from other cities in Gujarat, startups working on city & civic issues, and a life-size model of the UNESCO World Heritage Walled City of Ahmedabad.
Envisioned as a first-of-its-kind platform, AmdavadNXT will bring together government departments, urban practitioners, academic institutions, civil society organisations, students and citizens to reflect on Ahmedabad’s mobility journey and identify pathways for improvement.
