Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a two-day visit to Assam beginning January 17, during which he will flag off two Amrit Bharat Express trains and lay the foundation stone for the Kaziranga elevated corridor, an official said on Friday.
The visit comes less than a month after the Prime Minister’s previous tour of the northeastern state and ahead of the Assam Assembly elections scheduled in the first half of 2026.
Soon after his arrival in Guwahati on the evening of January 17, Modi is scheduled to witness the Bodo folk dance ‘Bagurumba’, to be performed by 10,000 artistes at the Arjun Bhogeswar Barua Sports Stadium, the official said.

On January 18, the Prime Minister will travel to Kaliabor to lay the foundation stone of the ₹6,957-crore Kaziranga elevated corridor. He is also expected to virtually flag off two Amrit Bharat Express trains, Dibrugarh-Gomti Nagar (Lucknow) and Kamakhya-Rohtak, and address a public meeting at the venue.
Modi had last visited Assam on December 20, when he inaugurated the new terminal of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati and unveiled a statue of Assam’s first Chief Minister, Gopinath Bordoloi.
During the visit, he had also laid the foundation stone for a ₹10,601-crore brownfield ammonia-urea plant in Dibrugarh and addressed public meetings in Guwahati and Namrup, setting the tone for the 2026 Assembly elections.
