India is contemplating the possibility of sharing its GatiShakti tool with neighbouring countries to facilitate collaborative infrastructure initiatives. GatiShakti, a comprehensive platform, is designed to enhance coordination and efficiency in the planning and execution of infrastructure projects across various sectors.

As countries explore avenues for economic and infrastructure collaboration, the potential sharing of the GatiShakti tool emerges as a significant step toward creating a more connected and resilient South Asian region.
