PM Gati Shakti has reduced logistics cost, enabled better service delivery: Piyush Goyal

“The PM Gati Shakti has brought about a paradigm shift in how India plans and implements infrastructure projects. By integrating data from multiple Ministries and States, we have created a more efficient, transparent, and outcome-driven system”, Goyal said on the occasion of the third anniversary of the initiative on Sunday 13 Oct. He said that the impact of the initiative is visible in faster project execution, lower logistics costs, and better services reaching every corner of the country.

The initiative continues to fulfil its promise of creating a modern, interconnected infrastructure network that is key to India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision…This digital platform is designed to bring various Ministries, including Railways and Roadways, to ensure integrated planning and coordinated execution of infrastructure projects.

Taking PMGS to international level and for promoting the use of PM Gati Shakti and Geospatial technology in the integrated planning of infrastructure, diplomatic engagements are underway with countries in the neighbourhood and other developing countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Senegal and Gambia.

The government is also considering providing access to non-government users for the data (non-sensitive and shareable) relevant to the planning of the infrastructure and developmental activities by the sector. Such access to the data would be provided in the most secure manner.
