The ₹1000 Crore Transformation
As shown in the announcement, the “White City” is undergoing a major overhaul with several high-value projects:
- Rainwater Drainage System (₹180.99 Cr): A flagship project designed to solve Porbandar’s chronic seasonal flooding issues. This modern system is being built to handle high-intensity rainfall and protect the city’s low-lying areas.
- Modern Underground Sewage (₹128.10 Cr): A complete modernization of the city’s sanitation infrastructure to ensure cleaner streets and better hygiene for the residents.
- Port & Blue Economy: As a Minister overseeing Environment and Climate Change, Modhwadia is spearheading the upgrade of the Porbandar Port to support the burgeoning fisheries and export sector, as discussed in the recent Regional Conclave.
