Gujarat emergency response infrastructure expansion

Overview

The Gujarat government is expanding its emergency response infrastructure through the deployment of new vehicle fleets. In August 2026, the Gujarat Police increased its ‘Janrakshak’ emergency fleet to 1,000 vehicles as part of the ‘Dial 112’ project. This initiative integrates police, ambulance, fire, and helpline services into a single platform, utilizing a modern call center and dispatch system to reduce response times.

Following this, in September 2026, the government announced the addition of 89 ambulances specifically targeting tribal districts to improve healthcare access. This expansion includes Advanced Life Support, Basic Life Support, and four-wheel-drive vehicles designed for rough terrain. The goal of these combined efforts is to reduce response times in rural and tribal regions to better align with urban averages and improve care during the ‘Golden Hour’ of medical emergencies.
