Hathijan Circle — the principal roundabout junction in the Hathijan locality of southeastern Ahmedabad — is one of the city’s most rapidly growing eastern transit and commercial nodes, marking the geographic centre of an area that has transformed from a primarily agricultural and rural settlement into a significant residential, industrial, and retail hub within the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) boundary. Situated in the Ramol-Hathijan Ward, the circle sits at the convergence of the Ahmedabad–Mehmedabad Highway, the SP Ring Road connector, and the Vinzol–Hathijan Ring Road — making it both an intra-city transit junction and a significant highway reference point for traffic moving between Ahmedabad and the Kheda district towns of Mehmedabad, Matar, and Nadiad. The Hathijan Circle is also home to a Croma electronics outlet and Zudio fashion store — the presence of national retail chains confirming this junction’s evolution into a viable urban commercial destination.
