Bodakdev is one of West Ahmedabad’s oldest premium addresses, historically known for housing Gujarat High Court judges, and today a mix of gated apartment towers, corporate offices, and the cafes and restaurants that have made Sindhu Bhavan Road and the surrounding stretch one of the city’s more fashionable corners. It sits directly on SG Highway, bordered by Vastrapur to the east and Thaltej to the west, which is exactly why its metro access pulls from stations on both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick answer: <\/b>Thaltej Gam Metro Station is the one to know, sitting roughly 1.4 km from central Bodakdev, about a 14-minute walk or a 5- to 7-minute auto ride. Doordarshan Kendra and Gurukul Road, both on the Vastrapur-facing side of the locality, run a close second, so which station actually makes more sense depends on which end of Bodakdev you’re starting from.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Bodakdev is large enough and straddles enough of the Vastrapur-Thaltej stretch that residents genuinely split between these options depending on address. None of them is a station sitting inside Bodakdev itself, but three of them are close enough that a short walk is realistic outside the hottest hours of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Thaltej Gam Metro Station: The Primary Answer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Distance from Bodakdev: <\/b>approximately 1.4 km<\/span><\/p>\n

Metro Line: <\/b>Blue Line (Line 1)<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking Time: <\/b>14 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n

Travel Time by Auto: <\/b>5 to 7 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n

Thaltej Gam is the current western terminus of the Blue Line, and for most of Bodakdev it’s also the most-used metro access point, close enough that plenty of residents genuinely walk it on cooler mornings and evenings. It opened relatively recently, in December 2024, which makes it one of the newer additions to a station list that otherwise dates back to 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it’s a terminus rather than a mid-line station, it doesn’t carry the same crowd density as some of the more central Blue Line stops, which residents generally count as a plus.<\/span><\/p>\n
