Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Gujarat on August 25 and 26. During his visit, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation for numerous projects in Ahmedabad and Hansalpur. These projects represent an investment of over ₹5400 crore for the state of Gujarat.
Over ₹1400 crore will be dedicated to railway projects.
