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.

The tool, a key component of India's infrastructure development strategy, aims to streamline decision-making processes and optimize resource allocation. By extending the potential sharing of GatiShakti to neighbouring nations, India envisions fostering regional cooperation in infrastructure development.

The move aligns with India's broader vision of promoting connectivity and economic integration in the South Asian region. Collaborative efforts utilizing GatiShakti could contribute to shared prosperity, improved trade links, and enhanced infrastructure connectivity among neighbouring nations.

Sharing the GatiShakti tool reflects a commitment to regional development, recognizing the interconnectedness of infrastructure networks. By leveraging this platform, India seeks to not only enhance its own infrastructure but also catalyze growth and development in neighbouring countries.

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.
