The PM GatiShakti programme has so far this fiscal year suggested approval for up to 85 large-scale infrastructure projects totaling Rs 5.4 lakh crore from various ministries.

The Network Planning Group (NPG), established as part of the PM GatiShakti programme announced in October of last year, has suggested these projects.

Special secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Sumita Dawra said that so far the NPG has held 51 meetings.

The initiative was launched to develop an integrated infrastructure to reduce logistic costs. All logistics and connectivity infrastructure projects, entailing investments of over Rs 500 crore, are routed through the NPG.
