The new gates raise the height of the dam to 138.68 metres.
"Modi will inaugurate Narmada Dam at Kevadiya in the presence of religious leaders and others. Later he will address people at Dabhoi in Vadodara district," Pandya said.
The Narmada Control Authority in June this year granted permission to the state government to close the gates, which will raise water level in the Sardar Sarovar reservoir, after being convinced that rehabilitation of the people displaced due to the project was complete.
Ahead of Modi's visit, the state will organise Narmada Mahotsav Yatra from September 6 to 15.
