It will additionally comprise the infrastructure formed by the state governments as per the GatiShakti Master Plan.

The touchstone of the Master Plan will be world-class modern infrastructure and logistics synergy among various modes of movement - both of people and goods - and the location of projects. She said this will assist raise productivity and boost economic growth and advancement.
