Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the 52nd PRAGATI meeting and reviewed four major infrastructure projects worth around Rs 30,000 crore, urging strict timelines, close inter‑agency coordination and the use of the ‘PM GatiShakti National Master Plan’ to ensure their timely completion.
The projects — spanning road, power, an industrial corridor and a metro‑rail scheme across four states — were examined with a focus on removing bottlenecks, cutting delays that drive cost escalation, and delivering benefits for growth and connectivity.
During the session at Seva Teerth, govt officials presented progress and outstanding issues on four critical projects that together aim to boost regional connectivity, industrial development and public welfare. PM Modi said these works “will add momentum to economic growth, connectivity and industrial progress” and asked concerned ministries and state governments to resolve pending issues in a mission‑mode manner.
PM Narendra Modi emphasised that delays not only escalate costs but also deprive people and industries of timely benefits, calling for close monitoring at the highest level to ensure on‑time delivery.
‘PM‑GatiShakti’ as the implementation backbone
Prime Minister Modi stressed the centrality of the ‘PM GatiShakti National Master Plan’ for efficient planning and execution. He directed that project details, utilities, infrastructure layers, clearances and other field‑level information be regularly and accurately updated on the portal so the platform reflects the latest ground reality.
“The platform must reflect the latest ground situation so that bottlenecks can be identified in advance, inter‑agency coordination can be improved, and decisions can be taken on the basis of reliable, real‑time data,” PM said, underlining the portal’s role in pre‑emptive problem solving and faster approvals.
