Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for a series of development projects collectively valued at over INR 48,100 crores in Rajkot, Gujarat. 

These projects span across various sectors including healthcare, transportation, energy, petroleum and natural gas, and tourism, showcasing the government's commitment to holistic progress and infrastructure enhancement.

PM Modi elaborated on the PM Suryaghar Scheme, an initiative aimed at reducing electricity bills to zero for beneficiaries while concurrently generating income for their families. Under this scheme, households will receive 300 units of electricity free of charge, with the government purchasing the surplus power.

In a move towards sustainable energy, the PM also laid the foundation stone for several renewable energy projects. Noteworthy among them are the 300 MW Bhuj-II Solar power project, the Grid Connected 600 MW Solar PV Power Project, and the Khavda Solar Power Project. 

Additionally, foundation stones were laid for the 200 MW Dayapur-II Wind Energy Project, underscoring the government's commitment to expanding renewable energy production in the region.

The PM also laid the foundation stone of the New Mundra-Panipat pipeline project worth over INR 9000 crore. The 1194 km long Mundra- Panipat Pipeline with an installed capacity of 8.4 MMTPA was commissioned to transport crude oil from Mundra on the Gujarat coast to Indian Oil's refinery at Panipat in Haryana.

These projects underscore the government's dedication to advancing infrastructure, promoting clean energy, and fostering economic prosperity in Gujarat and beyond.
