PM Modi Unveils Rs 100 Billion Infrastructure Push in Haryana

Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated and launched infrastructure projects worth over Rs 100 billion (approximately $1.2 billion) in Haryana, signaling a major boost to the state’s power, transport, and green energy sectors.

At the heart of the announcement is the Rs 84.69 billion expansion of the Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant in Yamunanagar, with the foundation laid for a new 800 MW thermal unit. Approved by the Union Ministry of Power and developed by the Haryana Power Generation Corporation Ltd (HPGCL), this third unit will add to the plant’s existing 2×300 MW capacity. Construction, spread across 233 acres, is slated to be completed in 52 months, with commercial operations expected by March 2029. Once operational, it will raise Haryana’s in-house generation capacity to 3,382 MW.

PM Modi also inaugurated the Rewari Bypass, a Rs 10.69 billion (approx. $128 million) project under the Bharatmala scheme. Built using the Hybrid Annuity Mode, the 14.4 km four-lane bypass is designed to decongest traffic around Rewari city and improve connectivity to Narnaul via NH-11. Officials said the new route could cut travel time between Delhi and Narnaul by nearly an hour, benefiting both commuters and freight movement.

Further promoting sustainable energy, the PM laid the foundation for a GOBARdhan biogas plant in Mukarampur, Yamunanagar. The project, worth Rs 900 million (approx. $10.8 million), is being developed by the Municipal Corporation Yamunanagar-Jagadhri in collaboration with BPCL. Once operational by May 2027, the facility will process 45,000 metric tonnes of solid waste and 36,000 metric tonnes of cattle dung annually to produce 2,600 metric tonnes of compressed biogas (CBG) and 10,000 metric tonnes of bio-fertilizer. It is also expected to cut CO? emissions by 7,700 metric tonnes per year.

In another major highlight, Modi laid the foundation stone of a new terminal building at Maharaja Agrasen Airport in Hisar, estimated at over Rs 4.1 billion (approx. $49 million). He announced upcoming flights connecting Hisar to Ayodhya Dham, linking Lord Krishna’s land to Lord Ram’s, with additional destinations to follow. The project underscores the Centre’s commitment to expanding regional air connectivity under the UDAN scheme.

Union Ministers Manohar Lal, Rao Inderjit Singh, and Krishan Pal, along with key state Cabinet members, were present at the launch events.

The comprehensive rollout of these projects marks a significant leap forward in Haryana’s infrastructure and energy ambitions, combining conventional power with sustainable alternatives and modern connectivity.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...
