Narendra Modi to Launch ₹15,600 Crore Projects in Bengaluru

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bengaluru on November 13, 2026, to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for a series of development projects totaling more than ₹15,600 crore. The visit includes the inauguration of the Bengaluru Metro Pink Line from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere, a project costing approximately ₹3,470 crore, and the flagging off of the Bengaluru-Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express.

Addressing municipal waste challenges, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for a Compressed Biogas Plant at Haralakunte operated by GAIL. Member of Parliament Tejasvi Surya noted that the area has faced persistent hardships for decades due to a previous plant, citing air and water pollution and a severe stench affecting residents within a 4-kilometre radius. Surya stated that while the Government of Karnataka halted the previous plant in 2008, it restarted in 2013 because no alternative existed.

Other regional projects include the dedication of India's largest underground LPG storage cavern in Mangaluru and renewable energy transmission schemes in Koppal, Gadag, and Bidar. The Prime Minister will also oversee the redevelopment of four railway stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, participate in the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Prashanti Kutiram, and launch an S-VYASA off-campus center in Thiruvananthapuram.
