(a) to (e) : Government has launched PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP) in October, 2021 for the development of multimodal connectivity infrastructure  to  various  Economic  Zones.   PM  GatiShakti  NMP  is  a technology enabled GIS platform to support data-based decision making for integrated planning, synchronized implementation, and project monitoring.    Since  October,  2021,  more  than  900  data  layers  of concerned  Central  Ministries/Departments  have  been  uploaded  on  the NMP. Individual portals with necessary data layers, customised tools and functionalities for all concerned Central Ministries and State Governments have been developed.    PM Gati Shakti is not a scheme;  Therefore no funds are allocated under it.  However, Ministry of Finance, Department of  Expenditure  has  issued  the guidelines  for " Scheme  for  Special Assistance  to  States  for  Capital  Investment  for  2022-23 " on  6  April 2022.  Part-II of the Scheme  is aimed at facilitating PM Gati Shakti related investment in the States.  An amount of Rs 5,000 crore is earmarked for Part-II of the Scheme.  States have been sensitized about the Guidelines and are in the process of complying with necessary conditions for availing the funding under the scheme. At present, 23 Ministries/Departments at Centre are part of  PM Gati Shakti, as per details given below: 1.    Ministry of Railways; 2. Ministry of Road, Transport & Highways; 3. Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways;  4. Ministry of Civil Aviation; 5.  Ministry  of  Petroleum  &  Natural  Gas;  6.  Ministry  of  Power;  7. Department  of  Telecommunications;  8.  Ministry  of  Coal;  9.  Ministry  of Mines; 10. Department of Chemicals & Petro-Chemicals; 11. Department of Fertilizers;  12.  Ministry  of  Steel;   13.  Department  of  Economic Affairs;   14.

The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan entails creation of a common platform with all infrastructure projects pertaining to various Ministries/Departments incorporated within a comprehensive database for efficient planning and implementation on a real-time basis.   Uploading of data  (geo-coordinates  of  projects)   by   Ministries/Departments   on  the National Master Plan portal is intended to  reduce duplication of efforts and promote adoption of integrated approach  for planning of projects and

their synchronised implementation.
