After Bengal, PM Modi will visit Bihar’s Purnia. There he will inaugurate the new Interim Terminal Building of the New Civil Enclave at Purnea Airport. This terminal is set to significantly enhance regional air connectivity and passenger handling capacity in northeastern Bihar.
In a major boost to regional development, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone and inaugurate projects worth approximately Rs 36,000 crore. Among these is Bihar’s largest private-sector investment, the 3×800 MW Thermal Power Project at Pirpainti in Bhagalpur, valued at Rs 25,000 crore. Designed with ultra-super critical, low-emission technology, the power project is expected to significantly strengthen Bihar’s energy security.
