At Itanagar, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of two major hydropower projects worth ₹3,700 crore — the Heo Hydro Electric Project (240 MW) and the Tato-I Hydro Electric Project (186 MW).

Modi will also lay the foundation of a state-of-the-art Convention Center at Tawang, situated at 9,820 feet above sea level. With a capacity to host over 1,500 delegates, the center is envisioned as a global-standard facility for international conferences, cultural events, and exhibitions — boosting the tourism and cultural potential of the frontier district.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will launch multiple infrastructure projects worth ₹1,290 crore, spanning connectivity, healthcare, fire safety, and working women’s hostels. These initiatives are aimed at catalyzing economic activity and improving the quality of life in the region.
