Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat's Surat and the Union Territory of Daman on June 5 to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones of several major development projects. The total value of the projects in Surat is around ₹18,000 crore.

During his visit to Daman, the Prime Minister will inaugurate a new civilian airport and a government hospital.

Surat Collector Tejas Parmar reportedly said PM Modi is scheduled to arrive in Surat at around 2.45 pm. His first stop will be an industrial facility in the Hazira area, one of Gujarat's major industrial hubs. Following his programme in Surat, PM Modi will travel to Daman.
