Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Gujarat on March 12 to lay the foundation stone of the Tata Group’s semiconductor fabrication facility at the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR). The visit also includes the inauguration of completed infrastructure projects worth Rs 4,000 crore at the smart industrial city.

During the visit, the Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of the Sabarmati Ashram, along with several railway infrastructure projects, including station redevelopment, road bridges, and other facilities aimed at enhancing Indian Railways’ capacity and reducing transportation costs.
