What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Our Assessment

Gujarat operates maternity and newborn transport, including Khilkhilat vehicles and emergency ambulance services. The state review reports 434 Khilkhilat vehicles operational by September 2025, while the national review describes their mainly post-delivery transport role. This is useful delivery, but these vans cannot automatically be counted as dedicated pregnancy ambulances. The reviewed evidence does not reconcile the promised 200-vehicle fleet, equipment, availability for pregnant women and expansion after 2022. The target is 200 in the fleet, not an assumed 200 additional vehicles.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Maternity transport operates; a matching dedicated 200-ambulance fleet and expansion are not fully verified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Relevant delivery evidence exists, but complete scope, coverage or independent verification remains limited.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Dedicated pregnancy-ambulance fleet register and commissioning dates
  • Vehicle equipment, staffing, operating coverage and trip records

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
