Gati Shakti Empowering Country: Jyotiraditya Scindia

16 Dec 2024 CW Team

Scindia emphasized that by adopting a unified whole-of-government approach, projects that previously took 8 to 10 years to complete are now being finished much more quickly. He stated, "Earlier, it used to take 8-10 years for the implementation of a single project. Today, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the country has been empowered with momentum through the Gati Shakti Portal, which is based on a whole-of-government unified approach. The nation is progressing rapidly."

The Gati Shakti scheme is designed to accelerate projects under the $1.5-trillion National Infrastructure Pipeline by sharing resources and developing synergies, ultimately creating a more harmonized infrastructure. The scheme aims to ensure last-mile connectivity to economic zones within a specified timeframe, boosting India's productive capacity and global competitiveness in manufacturing.

Scindia spoke at a press conference on the government's infrastructure push in Delhi on Friday, where he also shared details about India's remarkable achievements in infrastructure development, underscoring its role as a key economic multiplier.

He pointed out that investments in infrastructure not only spur economic growth but also generate employment opportunities and foster development. Over the past year, India allocated a record Rs 11.5 trillion towards capital expenditure, marking a major step in the nation's growth strategy. Scindia added, "Infrastructure is one of the greatest economic multipliers. If we talk about quantum, an allocation of Rs 11 trillion in the budget for capital infrastructure is perhaps unprecedented in any country. Even if you combine the GDP of 10-12 countries, they may not reach the capacity of Rs 11.5 trillion. And India alone has allocated this amount for capital expenditure in a single year. Moreover, it has been increased every year by 10-15%."

Union Minister for Communications, Jyotiraditya Scindia, highlighted that the introduction of the Gati Shakti scheme has transformed infrastructure development in the country, bringing about significant shifts in governance and long-standing frameworks across various sectors.
