Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened a series of infrastructure projects in Karnataka, including a Bengaluru Metro extension and new energy facilities, totaling over ₹15,600 crore.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a slate of infrastructure projects in Karnataka on Thursday, marking a significant investment in the state’s transport and energy sectors.
The ceremony highlighted the extension of the Bengaluru Metro network, which will add new lines and stations to improve connectivity across the city.
Alongside the metro, the launch included several energy projects aimed at expanding the state’s power generation and grid capacity.
Officials said the ₹15,600 crore investment is part of a broader strategy to shield the economy from external shocks, such as the ongoing conflict in West Asia, by strengthening domestic infrastructure.
