DPIIT Reviews Railways, MoRTH, and MoHUA Projects to Boost Gati Shakti Plan

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has conducted a comprehensive review of infrastructure projects undertaken by the Railways, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), and Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). This evaluation aims to bolster the implementation of the Gati Shakti initiative, which seeks to integrate and streamline infrastructure development across India.

The review focused on assessing the progress and strategic alignment of key projects within the railway, road, and urban infrastructure sectors. These sectors play pivotal roles in enhancing connectivity, promoting economic growth, and improving the quality of life for citizens.

Projects under scrutiny include the expansion and modernization of railway networks, construction of national highways and expressways, and development of smart cities and urban infrastructure. DPIIT's evaluation aimed to identify bottlenecks, expedite project timelines, and ensure effective utilisation of resources to achieve the objectives of the Gati Shakti plan.

The Gati Shakti initiative, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasises integrated planning and coordination among various infrastructure ministries to optimise resource allocation and enhance project efficiency. It aims to transform India's infrastructure landscape, making it more robust and responsive to the country's developmental needs.

By reviewing these critical infrastructure projects, DPIIT seeks to accelerate their implementation, foster innovation, and promote sustainable development practices. The initiative is expected to stimulate economic growth, create employment opportunities, and strengthen India's infrastructure foundation for future generations.
