(NPG), constituted under the PM 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 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

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.This information was given by the Minister of State for Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Shri Jitin
