Sarkhej-Okaf anchors the southwestern edge of Ahmedabad's road grid: the SG Highway (NH-147) to Gandhinagar and the Sardar Patel Ring Road both originate here, with NH-751 and SH-17 also passing through, per 99acres and Wikipedia. The locality has its own Western Railway station (Sarkhej) plus nearby Sanathal and Vastrapur stations, GSRTC circular-bus service, and Ahmedabad Metro Red Line access about 4 km away at Jivraj Park.

Kalupur (Ahmedabad Junction), the city's main rail hub, is roughly 11 km away; the airport is approximately 19 km away.

Within Sarkhej itself, 99acres cites Sarvajanik High, Diamond International and Safal as reputed schools, alongside Shrey Hospital for medical needs; Square Yards separately lists Adani Vidya Mandir and DAV International School roughly 1-2 km away. Higher-education institutes (Nirma University, L.J.

Campus, NIPER Ahmedabad) sit further north along the SG Highway corridor that originates at Sarkhej, per Wikipedia, rather than within the locality itself.

Per the Ministry of MSME's district industrial profile, Gujarat's New Industrial Policy has drawn many industrial units to Sarkhej-Bavla Road and Sarkhej-Viramgam Road, both originating at Sarkhej.

The locality also anchors the SG Highway, which Wikipedia says grew into a corporate-park and auto-dealership belt - housing GNFC, Intas Biopharmaceuticals and Zydus offices, plus BMW, Audi, Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes showrooms further along the corridor.

The locality's centerpiece is Sarkhej Roza, a 15th-century Sufi mosque-tomb-palace complex around a great tank, built for saint Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh and expanded by Sultan Mahmud Begada. Protected by ASI as a Monument of National Importance, it is often called the 'Acropolis of Ahmedabad' after architect Le Corbusier compared it to Greece's Acropolis, per Gujarat Tourism and Wikipedia.

Gujarat Tourism itself describes its buildings as 'elegant, though dilapidated.' The 2017 Bollywood film Raees filmed scenes here.

The SG Highway corridor that originates at Sarkhej has, per Wikipedia, grown into a retail and leisure belt: large-format stores (Lifestyle, Globus, Croma, Westside) and malls including ISCON Mall/ISCON Mega Mall, Acropolis Mall and Palladium Ahmedabad Mall, plus clubs such as Karnavati Club and Rajpath Club and hotels like Novotel and Crowne Plaza, all lie further up the same road.

In December 2025, per a Square Yards locality news update, the Union Home Minister inaugurated redeveloped lakes in Ahmedabad including Sarkhej's Shakari Lake, alongside new railway overbridges, grade separators, bridges, flyovers, roads and gardens.

More recent 2026 AMC/state programs cited on the same feed include a Rs 100-crore plan to green the SG Highway corridor and Rs 400+ crore of city-wide civic works (electric buses, roads, water supply), per Times of India.
