PM GATI SHAKTI plan to be a game changer

Dr. A. Sakthivel, President, FIEO, says the unveiling of PM Gati

Shakti National Master Plan for multi-model connectivity will increase India’s productive capacity and global competitiveness in manufacturing and exports from India. “To have all utility and infrastructure planning under one umbrella is unprecedented. For a long time, our infrastructure sector was witnessing inter-ministerial delays, multiple layers of stakeholders, and the culture of working in silos,” says the FIEO chief. This has led to time and cost overruns and staggered pace for infrastructure led growth. Sakthivel says that bringing 16 ministries on the digital platform for the integrated planning and consolidated implementation of infrastructure connectivity will be a game changer for the Indian economy.
