PM Modi Launches Rs 45,000 Cr Mahi-Banswara Nuclear Project

On September 25, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Banswara, Rajasthan, to perform the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Mahi-Banswara Nuclear Power Plant, a landmark project that will help enhance India’s clean energy capacity.

This will occur on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, which bestows both symbolic and multidimensional strategic importance to the project.

The future nuclear power plant includes a ₹45,000 crore investment and is part of the larger clean energy and infrastructure package for Rajasthan worth ₹1.21 lakh crore. The plant once completed will dramatically increase India’s atomic energy base and will generate reliable and sustainable electricity to meet India’s rapidly increasing electricity demand. According to industry observers, the project reflects India’s long-term vision regarding energy security and self-reliance.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has called the plant a historic achievement for the state's energy sector, while BJP State President Madan Rathore specified it was an important milestone in India's atomic power journey.

In addition to the foundation stone ceremony, the Prime Minister will dedicate clean energy projects to the nation and flag-off Vande Bharat Express trains which will run on the Bikaner–Delhi route and other corridors, giving the region added forward momentum and connectivity.

To encourage participation from the public, the entire program will be live-streamed throughout the districts, municipal bodies, and gram panchayats of Rajasthan. With this unprecedented effort, Rajasthan will be a central hub for the expansion of nuclear and clean energy, while giving India the desired growth and sustainability efforts.
