Hub‑and‑Spoke Launch Expected to Boost Ahmedabad’s Textile and Pharma Sectors

Industry leaders in Gujarat welcomed the hub‑and‑spoke rollout, citing expected gains for textiles, pharmaceuticals, diamonds, gems and engineering firms. Previously, passengers bound for destinations such as Paris, Toronto or Sydney had to fly domestically to Delhi, manage separate bookings, and endure long immigration queues. The new system consolidates all pre‑flight procedures in Ahmedabad, allowing luggage to travel straight to the final overseas airport. This streamlined experience is projected to attract more international traffic, directly benefiting the state’s export‑driven industries.
