Furthermore, PM Modi dedicated important power projects in Jharkhand, including Unit 1 (660 MW) of the North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project (STPP) in Chatra. This project, developed at a cost of over ₹7,500 crore, will improve power supply in the region and contribute to employment generation and socio-economic development.
The Prime Minister also dedicated projects related to the coal sector in Jharkhand, highlighting the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy sources.
PM Modi’s visit to Jharkhand is part of a larger two-day tour that also includes visits to West Bengal and Bihar.
