The statue will have a museum on the life of Sardar Patel at the base, and two high speed lifts will take people to the viewers' gallery, from where they can see beyond the Narmada Dam.
Once completed, around 15,000 tourists are likely to visit the statue every day, officials said.
The museum will have 40,000 documents, 2,000 photographs and a research centre dedicated to Sardar Patel's life.
