PM Modi Inaugurates Projects Worth ₹13,480 Crore In Bihar; Flags Off 4 New Trains

In a massive boost to Bihar's infrastructure and connectivity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid foundation stones for projects worth ₹13,480 crore on April 24, 2025. The developmental spree included everything from modern trains and highways to a state-of-the-art medical institute, reaffirming the Centre’s focus on inclusive growth and regional development.


🚆 Four New Trains to Power Connectivity

One of the most impactful announcements was the introduction of four new trains — a mix of high-speed and long-distance services that will enhance travel convenience for millions:

✳️ Saharsa–Mumbai LTT Amrit Bharat Express

This new weekly superfast train will drastically improve connectivity between Bihar and Maharashtra, benefitting migrant workers, students, and traders. With features like CCTVs, mobile charging points, and modern toilets, it’s not just a new route — it’s a safer, smarter travel experience.

✳️ Three New Vande Bharat Express Trains

The iconic Vande Bharat Express made deeper inroads into eastern India with these new routes:

  • Howrah–Bhagalpur

  • New Jalpaiguri–Patna

  • Howrah–Gaya

These semi-high-speed trains promise reduced travel time, better punctuality, and luxurious interiors — marking a new era in Indian Railways.


🏥 AIIMS Darbhanga: Healthcare Revolution in the Making

In a landmark move, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for AIIMS Darbhanga, with a budget of ₹1,264 crore. The institute will provide world-class medical education and super-specialty healthcare facilities to Bihar and neighboring regions.

For a state that has long struggled with access to quality healthcare, AIIMS Darbhanga is not just a hospital — it's hope.


🛣️ Roads That Lead to Progress

Improved road connectivity is another pillar of the development plan. The Prime Minister inaugurated several highway and bypass projects across Bihar, including:

  • Galgalia–Araria section (NH-327E) – a key corridor for north Bihar

  • Bypass roads in Chhapra, Muzaffarpur, and Patna – to reduce congestion and improve urban mobility

These infrastructure upgrades will ease traffic, cut travel times, and create new economic opportunities.


🔥 Energy and Clean Fuel Expansion

Energy security and clean fuel distribution also got a major push:

  • Muzaffarpur–Motihari LPG Pipeline was launched, improving cooking gas availability across rural Bihar.

  • City Gas Distribution (CGD) projects in five districts will now bring piped gas to homes and businesses, reducing dependence on polluting fuels.

This is a key step toward a greener Bihar.


💊 Affordable Healthcare Access via Jan Aushadhi Kendras

To make medicines more affordable, PM Modi launched 18 Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendras at railway stations across the country. These stores offer generic drugs at up to 90% lower prices — a huge relief for lower- and middle-income families.


🗣️ PM’s Address: Empowering the East

In his address, PM Modi emphasized the government’s vision of “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) and reiterated the importance of empowering eastern states. He said,

"Bihar is not just a part of India’s past, but it is essential to India’s future. These projects will write a new chapter of progress for the state and the nation."


🌟 Conclusion: Bihar on the Fast Track

From speeding trains to life-saving hospitals, these projects represent more than brick-and-mortar development — they signify trust, vision, and commitment. For Bihar, this day marks a turning point — not just in infrastructure, but in aspiration.

With ₹13,480 crore flowing into the state, Bihar is no longer waiting for development. It's racing toward it.
