PM Gati Shakti to boost 196 critical infrastructure gap projects

Almost eleven months after the release of the PM Gati Shakti - National Master Plan, the government has identified 196 essential infrastructure gap projects including port connection and the movement of coal, steel, and food products that are being expedited. A comprehensive pan-India port connectivity plan, framework to track foodgrain and fertiliser movement across the country, and mapping of schools and aanganwadi centres are also being done on the portal, which aims to build robust infrastructure, fill logistics gaps, and attract more investments into the country. The portal would work in tandem with the national logistics policy that Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched on Saturday.
