In Itanagar, the Prime Minister will launch two key hydropower projects—the 240 MW Heo Hydro Electric Project and the 186 MW Tato-I Hydro Electric Project—together worth over Rs 3,700 crore. He will also lay the foundation for a state-of-the-art Convention Centre in Tawang, designed to host over 1,500 delegates for national and international conferences and cultural festivals.

Modi is set to roll out infrastructure projects worth Rs 1,290 crore to boost connectivity, healthcare, fire safety, and women’s hostels, while engaging with local taxpayers and traders on the impact of recent GST rate rationalisation.
