PM Modi to launch hydropower projects, investors’ meet in Mandi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Mandi in Himachal Pradesh on Monday to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of hydropower projects worth over Rs 11,000 crore. He will also preside over the second ground breaking ceremony of the Himachal Pradesh Global Investors’ meet, the PMO said.

Noting that Modi has constantly focussed on fully utilising the untapped potential of the resources available in the country, it said a step in this regard has been to utilise optimally the hydropower potential in the Himalayan region.

“The projects which will be inaugurated and whose foundation stone will be laid by the Prime Minister during the visit reflect a key step in this direction,” it added.
