Gati Shakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) framework, evaluates the
critical infrastructure projects of the Central Government to ensure integrated
planning, multimodality, inter-modality, synchronization of efforts, last mile
connectivity, comprehensive development in and around the project location,
data-driven decision makings, etc at the planning stage. As on date, 352
infrastructure projects with total estimated cost of ₹ 16.10 Lakh Crore have
been evaluated through the NPG mechanism. Out of these 352 projects, 201
projects have been sanctioned - out of which, 167 projects are under
implementation. Ministry-wise details are given at Annexure-A.(c): Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure through Part-II (for PM Gati
Shakti related expenditure) of the "Scheme for Special Assistance to States for
Capital Investment for 2022-23" made a provision of ₹ 5000 crores for
disbursement among the States for infrastructure development in the form of
50 years interest-free loan. Details of projects of the States, approved under the
Part-II of the “Scheme for Special Assistance to the States for Capital
Investment” and funds allocated are given at Annexure-B.
(d) & (e): Monitoring of implementation of ongoing Central Sector Projects, including the

on PAIMANA (Project Assessment Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for
Nation Building) portal (i.e. https://ipm.mospi.gov.in/ReportPage).
Further, an institutional mechanism, i.e. Project Monitoring Group (PMG), has
been set up with the objective of milestone-bases monitoring of projects and for
expediting issue resolution and fast tracking the execution of large-scale
infrastructure projects (having estimated cost of Rs.500 Crore & above). PMG
has implemented a unique 5-tier Escalation framework that ensures issues are
addressed at the appropriate level, beginning with the respective Ministry for
regular issues and escalating upto the PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance and
Timely Implementation) forum for complex issues. This approach streamlines
the review mechanism, prevents duplication and enables higher authorities to
focus on critical issues. To resolve bottlenecks and ensure timely completion of
projects, the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan has been integrated with the
PMG that has expedited resolution of issues and regulatory bottlenecks in
implementation of the projects.
