Centre may release Gati Shakti master plan in public domain

08 Jul 2022 CW Team

The Commerce and Industry Ministry said that the Centre is planning to release the Gati Shakti national master plan in the public domain. Right now, only state and central government ministries and departments can access the portal to execute infrastructure projects in a time-bound manner.

The government has already started working on its guidelines before making the portal public. Preparing protocols for private user access is crucial, considering data security concerns.

The deliberation was made during a review meeting of the PM Gati Shakti chaired by commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal.

Launched in October 2021, the Gati Shakti national master plan is being developed into a digital platform. It is integrating the existing portal and data of key infrastructure ministries, as well as state governments. It has been prepared to depict the economic zones and the infrastructure linkages needed to support them.
