Chiloda Circle — the principal roundabout junction at the heart of Chiloda village in Gandhinagar district, Gujarat — is one of the Gandhinagar–Ahmedabad fringe zone’s most strategically positioned transit junctions, standing at the convergence of National Highway 8C (Chiloda–Sarkhej/Santhal Road), the Gandhinagar–Ahmedabad State Highway (SH-141 / NH-147 connector), and the rural road network serving the Chiloda, Mota Chiloda, Pethapur, and Dabhoda belt. The circle takes the name of Chiloda village — a Gandhinagar Sub-District settlement — and functions both as an important highway node on the NH-8C Chiloda–Sarkhej axis and as the transit gateway for the sizeable government security campuses flanking this route: the BSF (Border Security Force) Campus on Chiloda Road and the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) Army Camp, both prominent landmarks immediately adjacent to the circle. AMTS Route 6 — the Pathika Ashram to Chiloda VTCOS Bus service — is the primary city bus service at the circle, running from 6:25 AM to 9:25 PM. IIT Gandhinagar, one of India’s most prestigious technical institutions, is approximately 7 kilometres from Chiloda Circle, and GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City) is accessible via the NH-8C / Nana Chiloda – GIFT City connector approximately 10 to 12 kilometres away.
