New Delhi, Oct 12 (UNI) Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that PM GatiShakti has brought about a paradigm shift in planning and execution of infrastructure projects over the last three years and helped reduce logistics cost.
The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP) for multi-modal connectivity completes three years today. Launched on October 13, 2021 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is a digital platform to bring various ministries including railways and roadways together for integrated planning and coordinated implementation of infrastructure connectivity projects.
“By integrating data from multiple Ministries and States, we have created a more efficient, transparent, and outcome-driven system. The impact is visible in faster project execution, lower logistics costs, and better services reaching every corner of the country,” said Goyal in a statement on three years of PM GatiShakti.
The commerce ministry in its media release said that PM GatiShakti platform has significantly improved inter-ministerial coordination and streamlined project execution by harnessing geospatial data from 44 central ministries and 36 states/UTs.
Aligned with the National Logistics Policy (NLP), the PM GatiShakti has been instrumental in addressing critical infrastructure gaps, reducing logistics costs, and improving India’s logistics performance. Its data-driven approach is powered by GIS-based tools and a real-time monitoring system that enables faster and more informed decision-making. The platform ensures that projects are aligned with national priorities and completed on time, minimising delays and reducing cost overruns.
“As India celebrates three years of the PM Gati Shakti, the initiative continues to fulfill its promise of creating a modern, interconnected infrastructure network that is key to India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision,” the commerce ministry said.
