What projects is my government investing in Surat?

Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Surat — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.

Summary

Public money is leaning toward movement and shelter: transport leads with 45 announcements, urban housing 34 and water 11. The Surat railway redevelopment and Tapi-Karjan pipeline scheme show the physical agenda, although the funding list also contains items whose connection to the city is unclear.

WATCH Watch whether transport, housing and water plans turn into visible work.
