'Govt is committed to the early completion & financing of the Polavaram Irrigation Project', said FM

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says, 'Power projects, including the setting up of a new 2400 MW power plant at Pirpainti will be taken up at the cost of Rs 21,400 crores. New airports, medical colleges and sports infrastructure in Bihar will be constructed. The requests of Bihar Govt for external assistance from multilateral development banks will be expedited. Our govt has made efforts to fulfil the commitments in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. Recognising the state's need for capital, we will facilitate special financial support through multilateral agencies. In the current FY, Rs 15,000 crore will be arranged, with additional amounts in future years. Our govt is fully committed to the early completion and financing of the Polavaram irrigation project, which is the lifeline for Andhra Pradesh and its farmers'. #unionbudget2024
