₹100L cr Gati Shakti plan to boost infra

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the government will unveil a ₹100 lakh crore “holistic and integrated” approach in infrastructure construction — Prime Minister ‘Gati Shakti’ National Master Plan — to create employment and make local manufacturers globally competitive. He also reiterated his resolve to nurture startups as emerging wealth creators.

“In the near future, we are going to launch Prime Minister ‘Gati Shakti’ National Master Plan,” the PM said in his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort.

“Gati Shakti will lay the foundation of holistic infrastructure and will lead to an integrated and holistic pathway to our economy. Right now, there is no coordination among our means of transport. Gati Shakti will break the silos, and will remove all these obstacles.”
