Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for a series of development projects in Dahod, Gujarat, collectively valued at Rs24,000 crore. The projects include critical railway infrastructure and several initiatives under the Gujarat government’s broader development agenda. Later, addressing a rally in Dahod in Gujarat, the PM hailed Operation Sindoor and said “those daring to wipe off the sindoor of our sisters must know their end is near”. Tearing into Pakistan, the prime minister said, “The country that came into existence after Partition lives on hatred for India. It only wants to harm Bharat. However, India’s goals are to remove poverty, bring about economic development and become a developed nation.” “Our government’s policy is to take development to areas that have remained backward,” he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his two-day visit to Gujarat on Monday with a high-spirited roadshow in Vadodara, receiving an enthusiastic welcome from thousands of citizens who lined the streets waving the Indian tricolour and chanting patriotic slogans. The roadshow route was vibrant with patriotic songs playing in the background and flower petals showered on the Prime Minister, who was seen warmly interacting with the cheering crowds. Among those in attendance were the family members of Indian Army Officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who played a prominent role during Operation Sindoor. They greeted the Prime Minister with flower petals, underscoring the widespread public support for national security initiatives.

Among the key announcements, PM Modi flagged off the Vande Bharat Express connecting Veraval and Ahmedabad, as well as a new express train linking Valsad and Dahod—moves expected to significantly enhance regional rail connectivity. He inaugurated the Loco Manufacturing Shop–Rolling Stock Workshop and flagged off the first electric locomotive produced at the facility, marking a major milestone for Indian Railways.
Built at an investment of Rs20,000 crore, the Dahod locomotive manufacturing unit is now operational, just three years after its foundation was laid in 2022. The facility is designed to produce 120 electric locomotives annually, scalable up to 150 units depending on future demand. Under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, Indian Railways plans to manufacture 1,200 electric locomotives at this facility over the next decade. Each 9,000-HP locomotive, aligned with the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, will bear the tag ‘Manufactured in Dahod’.These high-powered engines can haul up to 4,600 tonnes of cargo and are intended for both domestic use and export.

Reflecting on his journey in office, PM Modi recalled May 26, 2014—the day he first assumed the role of Prime Minister. “In these years, I have dedicated myself to the nation. Decades-old shackles have been broken. The country has taken decisions that were once unimaginable and unprecedented. We have progressed across every sector,” he said.  Highlighting India’s push toward self-reliance, he said, “Today, 140 crore citizens are working tirelessly to make India a Viksit Bharat. The demand of the times is that everything essential to national progress be manufactured in India.”
