Prime Minister’s Office to monitor 50 key projects worth Rs 2 lakh crore
NEW DELHI: The government has shortlisted 50 key infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 2 lakh crore for regular monitoring by the prime minister’s office to ensure their early completion. The PMO has set up a monitoring group consisting of secretaries to thrash out the issues holding up these projects or causing delay.
The projects include Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, Char Dham road connectivity improvement, Delhi-Meerut expressway, redevelopment of New Delhi railway station, JNPT terminal-4 in Mumbai, phase-1 of Pune Metro Rail, Navi Mumbai International airport and 1,200-km Paradip Hyderabad Product Pipeline. PM Narendra Modi has laid the foundation stone for all these projects barring the redevelopment of New Delhi railway station which the transporter hasn’t yet bid out. The bid dates have been extended in this case.
