INR 9,000cr North East Boost: Aizawl Railway Line Inauguration By PM Modi

Posted on September 13, 2025 By

New Delhi [India], September 13: Aizawl finally has a seat on India’s railway map. PM Modi’s ₹9,000 crore infrastructure blitz in Mizoram is more than ribbon-cutting; it’s a reset for the North East. It’s a reality check for every politician who thought the North East could be ignored because it didn’t deliver “enough seats.”

Mizoram steps onto the fast track.

Aizawl railway line inauguration is not just another government project. It’s a historic move that drags Mizoram from isolation into India’s mainstream logistics network. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, grounded by bad weather in Lengpui but undeterred, dialled in via video to lay foundations and dedicate projects worth over ₹9,000 crore across rail, roads, energy, education, and sports.

The big headline: the Bairabi–Sairang railway line. Built through brutal terrain with 45 tunnels, 55 major bridges, and 88 minor ones, this ₹8,070 crore lifeline now links Mizoram’s capital directly to the rest of India’s rail grid. For the first time, Delhi to Aizawl via Rajdhani Express is a reality, not rhetoric.

Railways: From dream to deadline

PM Modi reminded the crowd that he had laid the foundation years ago. This week, the trains are running. Alongside the Rajdhani, two more express trains, the Sairang–Guwahati and the Sairang–Kolkata, were flagged off.

The symbolism isn’t subtle. Farmers in Mizoram can now send their ginger, turmeric, and bananas faster to markets. Students get easier routes to universities in Delhi or Kolkata. Patients can reach top hospitals without multi-day road ordeals.

Railways here are more than transport. They are a transformation!

Roads, bridges, and bypasses

The Prime Minister didn’t stop with rail. Road infrastructure got its own boost.

  • Aizawl Bypass Road (₹500 crore, 45 km): Expected to cut south-to-capital travel time by 90 minutes.
  • Thenzawl–Sialsuk Road: A gift for horticulture farmers, dragon fruit growers, and paddy cultivators.
  • Khankawn–Rongura Road: Strengthening market access in Serchhip district.
  • Chhimtuipui River Bridge: A two-hour travel reducer and a cross-border trade booster under the Kaladan Multimodal project.

For a hilly state where connectivity is destiny, these roads mean more trucks, more trade, and fewer excuses.

Energy, education, and sports get their slice.

Infrastructure isn’t just steel and concrete. PM Modi laid the foundation for a 30 TMTPA LPG bottling plant at Mualkhang. That’s code for steady cooking gas and local jobs.

Schools got their due:

  • A new Residential School at Kawrthah under PMJVK, complete with turf football grounds, to benefit 10,000 kids.
  • An Eklavya Model School at Tlangnuam, pushing tribal youth into mainstream education pipelines.

Sports? Mizoram’s football legacy is famous, and the new Khelo India Multipurpose Indoor Hall in Tuikual is designed to turn potential into podium finishes.

Mizoram and the Act East Policy

Connectivity isn’t just for show. Mizoram now sits at the heart of India’s Act East Policy and the North East Economic Corridor. With the Kaladan Multi-Modal project and the upcoming Sairang–Hmawngbuchhuah rail line, the state will connect India’s railways to the Bay of Bengal and beyond to Southeast Asia.

For India’s Look East diplomacy, Mizoram is no longer a footnote. It’s the frontier.

GST relief and everyday economics

PM Modi didn’t miss the chance to pitch his NextGen GST reforms. He reminded the audience that, before 2014, even toothpaste, soap, and oil were taxed at a rate of 27%. Today, most daily-use goods are at 5%.

New GST rates slash costs for families and make essentials like cancer medicines, cement, and even hotel stays cheaper; the message: not just mega-projects, but pocket-level relief. And yes, scooter and car prices are already falling, just in time for festive season shopping sprees.

Growth engine narrative

The Prime Minister stressed a bigger arc: the North East as India’s growth engine. Once sidelined by vote-bank politics, the region now hosts 4,500 start-ups, 25 incubators, and an expanding sports economy.

For Mizoram, it’s a pivot from neglected borderland to investment hotspot.

India flexes global muscle.

PM Modi reminded citizens that while infrastructure connects people, strong growth funds defence. At 7.8% GDP growth, India is the fastest-growing major economy. Operation Sindoor, where Indian soldiers humbled terror sponsors with Made-in-India weapons, is proof that factories and foundries are as critical as fighter jets.

Closing the loop

Even though weather clipped his physical presence, PM Modi’s message was clear: Mizoram is no longer waiting in the wings. Aizawl’s railway line, new express trains, fresh roads, schools, energy plants, and sports hubs make sure of that.

As he signed off, PM Modi congratulated Mizoram and declared what was evident to anyone watching: the North East is no longer a distant frontier, it’s India’s growth driver.
