A press release issued by the state government stated that with the clearance, close to 850 hectares of land will be available for the development. Following the clearance, the land of 50 sq km area on both sides of the one kilometer-long stretch between Kamrej and Palasana in Surat district, on the National Highway number 48, will now be available for residential and commercial development.

The proposed industrial growth corridor suggested in the development plan at Hazira area in Surat city, will also give boost for the well-planned industrial development. Apart from this, it would open up new employment opportunities.
