Bihar infrastructure development initiatives
Overview
The Bihar government and the Indian central government have initiated large-scale infrastructure projects focused on power and transportation.
On the energy front, the state government announced a 12,000 crore rupee plan to stabilize the electricity supply for 22.5 million consumers. This initiative involves repairing 1.8 million kilometers of poles and cables, replacing hazardous wires, and installing 12,000 new high-capacity transformers. Additionally, the state is implementing an electronic toll collection system via FASTag on 47 bridges and 55 state highways for commercial vehicles.
In parallel, the central government approved road infrastructure projects totaling ₹1,64,518 crore. This expansion includes 2,424 kilometers of roadwork, such as highway widening, new bypasses, and railway overbridges. A significant component of this plan is the 568-kilometer Gorakhpur-Siliguri Expressway, which will pass through eight districts in Bihar to enhance connectivity between Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Assam.
