A landmark achievement in national development: The NPG has assessed 352 infrastructure projects with a whopping Rs 16.10 lakh crore price tag. Details emerged Tuesday in Parliament from Minister Jitin Prasada, underscoring PM Gati Shakti’s transformative impact.
Progress metrics are encouraging—201 cleared for takeoff, 167 in execution. NPG’s mandate under the National Master Plan emphasizes unified blueprints, cross-sector harmony, complete linkages, localized advancement, and data-centric strategies, preempting pitfalls from the outset.
Complementing this, Finance Ministry channels Rs 5,000 crore in long-term, zero-interest state loans. Vigilance is airtight: Central projects beyond Rs 150 crore monitored by Statistics and PI Ministry; larger ones (Rs 500 crore+) supercharged by PMG.
PMG’s genius lies in its five-level redressal ladder—from ministry desks for basics to PRAGATI peaks for puzzles—streamlining scrutiny, axing repeats, and channeling top brass to game-changers.
Critically, PM Gati Shakti’s linkage with PMG has revolutionized execution, vaporizing obstacles and regulatory red tape for swifter resolutions. This powerhouse alliance fortifies India’s infra backbone, catalyzing jobs, investments, and a seamless connectivity web that propels the nation toward superpower status.
