The eight projects mentioned are, the Mumbai Urban Transport Project Phase-3, four-laning of the Melur-Karaikudi section of NH, Ginigera-Raichur New BG line, the North East Gas Grid Project, the Raipur-Vishakhapatnam Economic Corridor, the Sulwade-Jamphal-Kanoli Lift Irrigation Scheme, the Kakinada-Srikakulam Natural Gas Pipeline Project, and the Patratu Super Thermal Power Project.

The projects spread across 14 states, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Odisha, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim, Mizoram, and Jharkhand. PM Narendra Modi further directed the officials to give special attention to the National Broadband Mission (NBM).
