Ahmedabad Metro Phase 3 has received Public Investment Board clearance and awaits Union Cabinet approval. GMRC has begun preparatory work, appointed Detailed Design Consultants, and initiated surveys and geotechnical investigations. The phase is estimated to cost around ₹2,825 crore.

Four utility-shifting tender packages worth ₹35.81 crore cover parts of Phase 3B, Phase 3C and the Gyaspur depot, including water, electricity, gas, sewage, drainage, telecom and optical-fibre services.

The proposed network is about 60 km, with 41 elevated stations; some reports cite 42, pending final approval. Three Metro-RRTS hybrid corridors total about 48.48 km and 32 stations. A circular route would start and end at Vadaj, with interchanges at Gujarat University, APMC, Amraiwadi and Vadaj.

A corridor from Thaltej Gam to Badrabad via Godhavi would run near Shilaj Canal Road, follow Sardar Patel Ring Road and pass Bopal and Shantipura. Badrabad could enable an extension to Dholera SIR. A direct link to the South West Ahmedabad Sports Arena at Godhavi is also planned. Completion around 2030 is under discussion.
