While I havent really visited any other states besides Gujarat and Maharashtra, I have heard many people say that infrastructure-wise Gujarat is waay ahead of any other state. I remember a ride from Mehsana-Gujarat was considered in up-down category. Today it take an hour. While GSTC isnt what we would like it to be but the rest of infrastructure alone provides so much incentive for pvt xport companies that reaching from anywhere to anywhere is piece of cake. On last visit I wanted to go to Somnath (Veraval) and before I used to take Girnar xpress but this time that train has been discontinued since they are laying down broadgauge line on that route. Instead I took the bus and it took me 9 hours in a nice luxury bus. It was amazing. Even where we took a break for meals, the restaurant was gorgeous and it was in the middle of nowhere.
In short besides the ability to handle torrential rains I think the infrastructure of Gujarat is truly fantastic.
