The building is also equipped with lifts, staircases and modern fire safety systems, including hose reels.
More services to go live in phases
Officials said the remaining systems are being configured and will be commissioned gradually. Once the migration is complete, all RTO services will be available from the new premises.
The upgraded infrastructure is expected to reduce waiting times, improve administrative efficiency and offer a more streamlined experience for applicants visiting the Ahmedabad RTO.
