The implementation framework for PM Gati Shakti MasterPlan will take final shape after April 1, 2022. A government official said that every project is likely to be routed through the network planning group formed under this initiative. The Gati Shakti plan was announced last year to break departmental silos and bring |in holistic and integrated planning and execution of projects to address multimodal and last-mile connectivity issues. Anurag Jain, Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), stated that this will help reduce logistics costs.Things are in readiness.

The Empowered Group of Secretaries and NPG have been constituted, and the Technical Support Unit is more or less in place. So the structure is there,” he said “We have asked states to put in their layers (on the masterplan portal). So what we intend to do is that after April 1, 2022, every infrastructure project that is over `500 crore will be routed through this (NPG),” Jain said.
