Railway projects launched in Bihar
Modi flagged off four new Amrit Bharat trains between Rajendra Nagar Terminal (Patna) to New Delhi, Bapudham Motihari to Delhi, Darbhanga to Lucknow, and Malda Town to Lucknow via Bhagalpur to improve connectivity in the region.

This project aims to enhance the railway operation capacity. Another railway upgradation involved Darbhanga-Narkatiaganj rail line doubling project worth Rs 4,080 crore.
