Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the 49th meeting of PRAGATI, a platform designed to monitor major projects across India. The meeting was held at South Block on Wednesday.
Eight critical infrastructure projects were reviewed during the meeting. These projects include sectors such as Mines, Railways, Water Resources, Industrial Corridors, and Power. They span 15 States and Union Territories with a total investment of over Rs 65,000 crore.
The Prime Minister stressed that project delays increase costs and deny citizens timely access to essential services. Officials were urged to adopt a result-oriented approach to ensure timely delivery and better living standards.
States and UTs were advised to strengthen review mechanisms and implement reforms to improve efficiency, competitiveness, and innovation. Better preparedness will allow quick seizing of emerging opportunities and promote ease of doing business.
