Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Karnataka and Telangana on Sunday, 10 May 2025, where he will attend the 45th anniversary celebrations of the Art of Living in Bengaluru and launch, inaugurate, and dedicate to the nation multiple development projects worth approximately ₹9,400 crore in Hyderabad. The twin-state visit underscores the Centre's continued push on infrastructure, industrial growth, and social welfare across southern India.

Bengaluru: Art of Living Anniversary and Dhyan Mandir Inauguration

The Prime Minister will first arrive at the Art of Living International Centre in Bengaluru at around 11 am to participate in the organisation's 45th anniversary celebrations, which also mark the 70th birthday of its founder, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Founded in 1981, the Art of Living has grown into a global volunteer-driven humanitarian and educational organisation with a presence in 182 countries.

During the Bengaluru programme, Modi will inaugurate the newly constructed Dhyan Mandir — a meditation hall envisioned as a space for inner peace and holistic well-being — at the Art of Living International Centre. He will also launch nationwide service initiatives focused on mental well-being, rural development, nature conservation, and social transformation.

Key Infrastructure Projects in Hyderabad

Modi will travel to Hyderabad for a public programme at around 3 pm, where he will lay foundation stones, inaugurate, and dedicate several large-scale projects. Among the headline announcements, he will lay the foundation stone for the four-laning of National Highway-167 from Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor at a cost of over ₹3,175 crore. The project is expected to cut travel time by nearly one-and-a-half hours and strengthen connectivity between Telangana and Karnataka.

The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the Zaheerabad Industrial Area in Sangareddy district, being developed under the Hyderabad-Nagpur Industrial Corridor as part of the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme. Spread across 3,245 acres and developed at a cost of over ₹2,350 crore, the industrial zone is expected to attract investments worth nearly ₹10,000 crore and generate large-scale employment.

Textile Park, Railway Projects and Energy Terminal

Modi will inaugurate the PM MITRA Park at Warangal — also known as the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park — developed under the PM MITRA Scheme at an estimated cost of around ₹1,700 crore. The park is aimed at strengthening India's textile sector under the Centre's 5F vision — Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign.

Railway infrastructure projects worth around ₹1,535 crore will also be dedicated to the nation, including sections of the Kazipet-Vijayawada multi-tracking project covering 118 km and the Kazipet Rail Under Rail Bypass project, both aimed at reducing congestion and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, the Indian Oil Corporation's Malkapur Terminal Project in Hyderabad — developed at a cost of more than ₹600 crore — will be dedicated to the nation to increase petroleum product handling capacity and meet the region's growing energy demands.

Healthcare: Sindhu Hospital Dedicated to the Nation

In the healthcare sector, Modi will dedicate Sindhu Hospital in Hyderabad to the nation. The institution is a cancer-focused, multi-super speciality quaternary care not-for-profit hospital spread across 2.1 million square feet, with 1,500 beds, 29 operation theatres, and facilities across more than 33 super specialities.

According to the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the projects collectively reflect the Prime Minister's vision of Viksit Telangana for Viksit Bharat, with a focus on integrated infrastructure development, economic growth, and improved quality of life. The visit signals the Centre's sustained investment focus on southern states as it accelerates the Viksit Bharat agenda.
