PM Modi Lays Foundation Stone for 500 MWh BESS Projects in Bihar

Standalone BESS are being installed at 15 grid substations of the state including Muzaffarpur, Motihari, Bettiah, and Siwan, among others. The capacity of the battery to be installed in each sub-station is between 20 to 80 MWh. It will save the distribution companies from buying electricity at expensive rates by feeding the already stored electricity back to the grid directly benefiting the consumers.
Boosting railway infrastructure in the region, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new Vaishali–Deoria railway line project worth over INR 400 crore and flagged off a new train service on this route. Additionally, in a major boost to connectivity in North Bihar, Modi also flagged off the Vande Bharat Express between Patliputra and Gorakhpur via Muzaffarpur and Bettiah.
The PM also laid the foundation stone for water supply, sanitation and STPs worth over INR 3,000 crore in various towns across Bihar aiming to provide clean and safe drinking water to the citizens of these towns.
Later in Odisha, Modi flagged off 100 electric buses under the Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) system, supporting a modern, eco-friendly urban mobility network.
