PM Modi Launches Development Projects Worth Over Rs. 15,600 Crore in Bengaluru, Boosts Metro, Rail and Energy Infrastructure.<\/h1>\n

Inaugurates Bengaluru Metro Pink Line, flags off Vande Bharat train connecting Karnataka with Goa; highlights infrastructure, energy security and technology-led growth.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bengaluru:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated and dedicated several development projects to the nation, laid foundation stones and flagged off new initiatives worth over Rs. 15,600 crore in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The projects cover key sectors, including urban mobility, railway infrastructure, energy security, renewable energy, petroleum infrastructure and waste management.<\/p>\n

Addressing a gathering on the occasion, the Prime Minister said infrastructure played a crucial role in the development journey of any nation, while improved connectivity created new opportunities for economic growth, employment and industrial development.<\/p>\n

He said the projects would strengthen Karnataka’s infrastructure and accelerate the vision of a developed India through a developed Karnataka. He also highlighted Bengaluru’s position as a major technology and innovation hub.<\/p>\n

Bengaluru Metro network crosses 100-km milestone<\/h4>\n

Highlighting the inauguration of the new Pink Line of Bengaluru Metro, Modi said the corridor would improve connectivity to IIM Bengaluru, educational institutions and major business, technology and commercial centres.<\/p>\n

He said the new metro infrastructure would provide greater convenience to lakhs of commuters while saving their travel time and expenses.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister noted that Bengaluru had emerged as the third city in the country, after Delhi-NCR and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, to achieve a metro network of more than 100 kilometres.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Namma Metro had a network of just 17 kilometres in 2014, which had now expanded to over 100 kilometres. He described this achievement as a reflection of India’s renewed focus on ease of living and ease of travel.<\/p>\n

New Vande Bharat train connects Karnataka with Goa<\/h4>\n

The Prime Minister highlighted the modernisation of Indian Railways and said the country was moving away from its colonial-era railway legacy towards infrastructure reflecting India’s identity and aspirations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He said Karnataka had recently received its first Vande Bharat Sleeper train and was now being provided another Vande Bharat service connecting Karnataka with Goa.<\/p>\n

The new service will benefit passengers travelling along Karnataka’s coastal region, including Mangaluru, by offering a semi-high-speed rail travel experience.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the development of Amrit Bharat railway stations, stating that more than 60 stations in Karnataka were being modernised. These stations are being equipped with improved passenger facilities, including amenities for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said Karnataka’s railway budget allocation had increased ninefold over the past 10 to 12 years. Four Amrit station projects and two railway doubling and electrification projects were also included in the initiatives announced on the occasion.<\/p>\n

Three projects to strengthen energy security<\/h4>\n

Emphasising the importance of energy security, Modi said the ongoing conflict in the Iran and Gulf region had highlighted the need for countries to strengthen their domestic energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He said India had been able to face global challenges more effectively because of investments made over the past decade in petroleum production, crude oil storage, renewable energy and railway electrification.<\/p>\n

Highlighting three major projects in Karnataka, he said the Mangaluru LPG project would add 80,000 metric tonnes of storage capacity. The Devangonthi Marketing Terminal would improve the distribution of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel, while a compressed biogas (CBG) plant in Bengaluru would produce 13 tonnes of biogas daily.<\/p>\n

He said the CBG plant would also contribute to better waste management and reduce expenditure on natural gas imports.<\/p>\n

Renewable energy capacity crosses 300 GW<\/h4>\n

The Prime Minister said reliable electricity supply was essential for India to emerge as a global leader in emerging technologies, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data centres and quantum computing.<\/p>\n

He noted that India’s renewable energy capacity had crossed 300 gigawatts and emphasised the government’s efforts to expand clean energy production.<\/p>\n

Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, more than 60 lakh households across the country, including over 40,000 families in Karnataka, had installed rooftop solar systems with government assistance.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the PM-KUSUM scheme, under which more than eight lakh solar pumps were being used to support farmers in Karnataka. He said the initiative would reduce electricity expenses, generate additional income and create employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

Describing farmers as important contributors to the country’s energy transition, he said Karnataka’s farmers were increasingly becoming energy producers along with food producers.<\/p>\n

Focus on middle-class families and economic growth<\/h4>\n

Modi said the country’s development initiatives were creating new opportunities for the middle class and an emerging aspirational class. Rising aspirations for quality education, healthcare, housing, consumer goods and tourism were contributing to industrial expansion and employment generation.<\/p>\n

He said sectors such as automobiles, electronics, tourism and services were benefiting from growing domestic demand.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also highlighted measures taken by the Central Government to increase disposable income and strengthen household savings. These included income tax relief for individuals earning up to Rs. 12 lakh annually, changes in TDS provisions benefiting senior citizens and rental income earners, and next-generation GST reforms.<\/p>\n

He also referred to the removal of GST on individual health and life insurance premiums, saying the measure had made insurance more affordable.<\/p>\n

Concluding his address, Modi said the development projects launched in Karnataka would accelerate the state’s economic progress and strengthen its contribution towards the goal of a developed India. He reiterated that the government’s priority was to increase middle-class savings, improve purchasing power and enable families to fulfil their aspirations while contributing to national economic growth.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister extended his congratulations to the people of Karnataka on the launch of the development projects and expressed confidence that the initiatives would give fresh momentum to the state’s infrastructure, connectivity and economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
