Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2021, PM Gati Shakti links multiple ministries and sectors on a digital platform. It has cut logistics costs, sped up project execution, and improved service delivery nationwide.

The platform combines data from ministries for projects in offshore wind, coastal infrastructure, and resource exploration. It highlights regulatory conflicts early, simplifies environmental clearances, and provides a centralized geospatial data repository. Key initiatives include the District Master Plan for all aspirational districts, PM GatiShakti-Offshore, and the Unified Geospatial Interface for public access.

Goyal said that 58 ministries and all 36 states and UTs are now onboarded. He added that the platform accelerates project execution, ensures synergy, and promotes sustainability. It also supports India’s Blue Economy, green energy goals, and the vision of building a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.

The projects include Wardha-Bhusawal (314 km), Gondia-Dongargarh (84 km), Vadodara-Ratlam (259 km), and Itarsi-Bhopal-Bina (237 km). They will connect 3,633 villages with around 85.84 lakh people, including Vidisha and Rajnandgaon Aspirational Districts.

These new lines will improve passenger and freight movement, operational efficiency, and service reliability. They are part of the PM-Gati Shakti Master Plan, enhancing multi-modal connectivity and logistics efficiency through integrated planning.

The railway upgrades will also boost tourism by connecting Sanchi, Bhimbetka, Satpura Tiger Reserve, Hazara Falls, and Nawegaon National Park. The projects will increase freight capacity by 78 MTPA, reduce CO2 emissions by 139 crore kg, and save 28 crore litres of oil annually.
