Vadodara: More than 42,000 people have been placed on a waiting list for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's public programme in Vadodara after all available seats were booked within an hour of free registration opening on BookMyShow, highlighting strong public interest ahead of the event scheduled for Tuesday.
The registration drive, being conducted by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC), marks the first time a private digital platform has been used to manage public participation in a Prime Minister's programme. Registration was subsequently closed after available seats were exhausted, while the waiting list continued to grow.
The event will operate on a fully digital entry and venue-management system. Registered participants will receive an M-Ticket through their BookMyShow accounts, featuring a secure live QR code for entry verification. The entire process, from registration and verification to venue access and seat allocation, is being managed digitally to facilitate faster verification and smoother crowd movement.
PM Modi is scheduled to visit Gujarat and Maharashtra on September 8. In Vadodara, he will lay foundation stones, inaugurate and dedicate development projects worth over Rs 35,000 crore and address a public gathering.
A key highlight of the programme will be the dedication of three sections of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC), spanning 326 route km and built at a cost exceeding Rs 20,700 crore. With these sections becoming operational, the WDFC network will be fully commissioned along its entire length, improving freight connectivity, reducing logistics costs and easing pressure on Mumbai's rail network.
PM Modi will also flag off freight train services from New Sanand (North), New Makarpura, New Umbergaon and New JNPT in Mumbai, besides inaugurating a new train service between Vadodara and Tanda Road. The programme will further include railway, highway and state government projects worth thousands of crores.
After the Vadodara event, the Prime Minister will travel to Mumbai to inaugurate the Global Fintech Fest 2026.
