Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a two-day visit to Gujarat starting Monday, where he will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for development projects valued at ₹5,477 crore. The visit will begin with a 3-km roadshow from Naroda to Nikol in Ahmedabad. Officials expect nearly one lakh people to join the roadshow and the public gathering in Nikol, where the Prime Minister will address the crowd.

During the event, Modi will dedicate 1,449 houses and 130 shops built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) at Ahmedabad’s Ramapir Tekra slum cluster. He will also initiate work on expanding the SP Ring Road into a six-lane expressway in two phases.

Other projects in Ahmedabad include a ₹27 crore water pumping station and a 23-km trunk pipeline under the Jal Jeevan Mission, stormwater drainage systems, new water distribution stations, a mini sports complex, and redevelopment works at Law Garden and Mithakhali precincts.

In Gandhinagar, projects worth ₹281 crore will be launched, covering sewage pumping stations, stormwater drains, and a new road running parallel to the Metro Rail line. In Mehsana, Modi will launch railway projects worth over ₹1,400 crore, including doubling the Mehsana-Palanpur line, gauge conversion of the Kalol-Kadi-Katosan route, and upgradation of the Becharaji-Ranunj line.

He will also flag off a new passenger service between Katosan Road and Sabarmati, along with a freight train carrying cars from Becharaji. On Tuesday, the Prime Minister will inaugurate Maruti Suzuki’s first electric car production line for the ‘e-Vitara’ at Hansalpur near Ahmedabad.

He will also launch local production of hybrid battery electrodes, flag off electric vehicle exports to 100 countries, and dedicate several road and railway projects, including new underpasses and a railway overbridge. Officials said the wide range of projects will strengthen infrastructure, improve connectivity, and open up new economic opportunities in Gujarat.
