NPG identifies projects worth Rs 4.5 trillion for Gati Shakti

India has identified infrastructure projects worth Rs 4.53 trillion to improve urban connections and promote manufacturing, which will now be implemented under the PM Gati Shakti masterplan.

The Network Planning Group (NPG) has identified many road, rapid train, metro, and railway projects, as well as petroleum pipelines, as critical infrastructure initiatives that must be completed as soon as possible. The move follows the government's announcement in the budget of a Rs 10 trillion capex plan for the upcoming fiscal year.

The NPG's support, which includes the leaders of the planning divisions of eight ministries and departments, is projected to result in faster project approvals and implementation.

"The NPG assesses the initiatives developed by several infrastructure ministries. It then recommends these projects to the Ministry of Finance and the ministry that proposed them "According to a senior government official.

While proposing connectivity initiatives, the PM Gati Shakti principles require an integrated approach. "Infrastructure that is multi-modal or inter-modal, as well as last-mile connectivity, should be addressed. Once mapped on the National Master Plan (NMP), it will also provide the best answer in terms of project alignment "According to the official.

The infrastructure gaps have been identified under NMP in response to suggestions from ministries in charge of industries like as steel, which would benefit from these initiatives.

There are 63 projects in total, with the Pune-Bengaluru Expressway being the most capital-intensive, costing 49,241 crore. The 107-kilometer Delhi-Gurgaon-SNB (Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behrod) Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor, which is part of the Delhi-Alwar RRTS line, is the second most valuable at 37,987 crore.

The development of trunk infrastructure components for the 5,796.68-acre Dighi Port Industrial Area, which is part of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, is the most expensive project approved by the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation, with a project cost of 5,410.04 crore.
