'''Ahmedabad Suburban Railway''' is a planned [[Regional rail|regional rail system]] in the city of [[Ahmedabad]], [[Gujarat]], India.<br />

== History ==<br />
The suburban railway was proposed to let people live in satellite towns and commute easily making less pressure on urban infrastructure. The project was conceptualised by the Delhi Metro Board around 2003. The Detailed Project Review was submitted to the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) by [[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]] in October 2005. GIDB sent it to RITES for verification. The project had received approval in 2009 but was not implemented.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://ahmedabadmirror.indiatimes.com/ahmedabad/others//articleshow/51144965.cms|title=Rail min breathes life into old suburban train project|last=Avasthi|first=Yogesh|date=Feb 26, 2016|work=Ahmedabad Mirror|access-date=2017-09-27}}</ref> During [[Vibrant Gujarat Global Investor Summit|Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit]] 2015, [[Memorandum of understanding|MOU]] was signed with Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd for a suburban railway system in Ahmedabad.
