Two years after its launch, India’s PM GatiShakti National Master Plan has facilitated the planning of approximately 8,890 kilometers of roads, 27,000 kilometers of railway tracks, and 920 kilometers of petroleum and natural gas pipelines. This initiative has significantly reduced the time taken by the road transport and highways ministry to prepare detailed project reports (DPRs), cutting down the preparation time from six months to just 15 days.
Sumita Dawra, special secretary of logistics at the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), highlighted the successful onboarding of central ministries and all states and Union Territories (UTs) onto the PM GatiShakti platform. The widespread usage of PM GatiShakti principles across infrastructure ministries and various states has demonstrated the substantial benefits delivered by the initiative.
