Network Planning Group Reviews 5 Projects

The Network Planning Group (NPG), under the PM GatiShakti initiative, has recently evaluated five critical infrastructure projects, marking a significant step towards bolstering India’s connectivity and economic growth. These projects, focusing on multi-modal transport and logistics, are part of the government’s broader strategy to integrate infrastructure development with the needs of the industry and citizens. PM GatiShakti, launched to streamline project implementation, aims to enhance synergy between various government departments, ensuring efficient execution and timely completion of infrastructure projects across the country.

The five projects under review include initiatives that target the development of urban infrastructure, highways, ports, and logistics hubs. The focus on multi-modal transport is central to the government’s vision of creating seamless connectivity between different transport systems, such as railways, roads, and ports. This integrated approach is expected to reduce logistics costs, improve supply chain efficiency, and boost economic productivity.

One of the key objectives of the NPG’s evaluation process is to ensure that these projects are aligned with the national master plan, facilitating the movement of goods and people more efficiently. The projects are designed to enhance last-mile connectivity, reduce travel times, and improve access to key industrial and economic hubs. By addressing critical infrastructure bottlenecks, the government seeks to improve India’s global competitiveness and attract more investment in its transport and logistics sectors.

The evaluation of these projects highlights the government's commitment to strengthening the country’s infrastructure framework, which is crucial for supporting sustained economic growth. The PM GatiShakti initiative continues to be a game-changer, with its focus on modernizing infrastructure and promoting integrated planning across various sectors to meet the evolving demands of India’s rapidly growing economy.
