The Network Planning Group (NPG), which reviews large projects under the PM GatiShakti initiative, have so far cleared as many as 229 critical infrastructure projects of different ministries, a senior government official said on Tuesday.
In October last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had rolled out the Gati Shakti-National Master Plan. It is essentially a GIS-based platform with close to 1,500 layers, capturing all utilities and network linkages in various economic clusters. Under this, different departments join hands for a coordinated development of projects, especially to address first and last-mile connectivity issues and reduce logistics costs.
