Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Banswara on Thursday to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for development projects worth ₹1.08 lakh crore.
The highlight of the event is the launch of the 2,800 MW Mahi Banswara Nuclear Power Project, expected to play a transformative role in strengthening India’s energy sector.
In addition, the Prime Minister will virtually flag off two Vande Bharat trains – from Bikaner and Jodhpur to Delhi – along with the Udaipur–Chandigarh Express, improving rail connectivity for the state.
This visit marks PM Modi’s 16th trip to Rajasthan in just 22 months since the Bhajanlal Sharma-led BJP government assumed office in December 2023.
Officials note that his repeated visits underline the state’s growing political and developmental significance.
During previous visits, the Prime Minister attended the Rajasthan High Court’s Platinum Jubilee in Jodhpur, where he launched the e-Seva Quick App (August 2024), and laid foundations for Rising Rajasthan and the ERCP Phase-I (December 2024). His May 2025 trip to Bikaner was the first following Operation Sindoor.
