PM Modi unveiled projects worth over Rs 15,600 crore in Karnataka on 13 November, spanning metro, railways, power, fuel storage and waste.
Power got the biggest share. Four transmission projects add up to more than Rs 10,000 crore.
These are the lines that carry electricity from solar and other renewable energy farms to the national grid.
PM Modi inaugurated two of them. The Koppal and Gadag scheme cost about Rs 4,450 crore and can move around 2 GW of clean power. A solar scheme in Bidar, built for about Rs 1,370 crore, can handle 2.5 GW.
He laid foundation stones for the other two, worth over Rs 3,450 crore and over Rs 1,100 crore, in the Davanagere, Chitradurga and Ballari regions.

A 9.4-km pipeline links it to New Mangalore Port. In Bengaluru, he dedicated MRPL’s Devangonthi terminal, a Rs 330 crore facility for storing and sending out petroleum products.
On the railways, four rebuilt stations opened at Chamarajanagar, Chikkamagaluru, Sakleshpur and Subrahmanya Road.
A 45-km track doubling at Bagalkot-Wandal will help move passengers, freight and coal for the Kudgi NTPC plant.
Electrification of a 55-km stretch from Sakleshpur to Subrahmanya Road means the whole Bengaluru-Mangaluru route now runs on electric power.

It will connect Hassan, Sakleshpur, Mangaluru, Udupi, Murdeshwar, Gokarna and Karwar. The list also included a waste project.
