## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)   In October, 2021, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved the proposal for development of 'PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP)' for providing multimodal connectivity infrastructure to  various  Economic  Zones.  The  PM  GatiShakti  NMP  will  depict  the economic  zones  and  the  infrastructure  linkages  required  to  support them  with  an  objective  to  holistically  integrate  all  the  multimodal connectivity projects and remove missing gaps for seamless movement of people, goods & services.

There  is  no  financial  implication  for  multimodal  connectivity infrastructure to the economic zones under the PM GatiShakti NMP as the  concerned  line  Ministries / Departments  will  seek  funding  of  their respective infrastructure projects serving the economic zones as per procedures laid under their respective schemes / programmes .

PM GatiShakti NMP will bring in holistic planning and development across  the country . It  will  provide  complete  visibility  of  multimodal infrastructure connectivity to the economic zones and will thus help in supplementing the various initiatives being taken to increase the share of  manufacturing in  the country,  attract  investment  in  manufacturing and service industry sectors, which will have a catalytic effect on up -gradation and development of skills of the workforce and generation of employment opportunities .

- ( b ) The PM GatiShakti NMP has been prepared in the Geographic Information System ( GIS ) based platform developed by BISAG -N to provide bird ' s eye view of the infrastructure development across the country encompassing the layers of Administrative boundaries, economic zones, infrastructure & utilities, etc . This portal

is  a  GIS  based  ERP system  to  support  the  stakeholders  in  planning, reviewing and monitoring of the Plan . ( c ) The  Geographic Information  System ( GIS ) based  platform of  the  PM GatiShakti NMP will ensure smarter decision making through the power of spatial analysis made available to the Network Planners . The portal will  provide  analytical  tools  for  Planning,  Permissions  and Project Management Information Systems which will be available for individual organisations  at  Centre  and  State  level . This  will  not  only provide  visual  depiction  of  the  Master  Plan  but  will  also integrate, through APIs, the physical progress on real -time with existing database of these Ministries . ( d ) In recent years several infrastructure projects including Bharatmala, Sagarmala,  Jal  Marg  Vikas  and  Ude  Desh  Ka  Aam  Naagrik  (UDAN); regulatory,  IT  and  process  reforms  (such  as  introduction  of  GST, electronic toll collection system (FASTAG) for reducing time loss at toll plaza; introduction of paperless EXIM trade process through E-Sanchit etc.  have  been  introduced  to  improve  logistics  and  efficiency  of logistics management in the country. ( e ) To integrate and to build upon the initiatives already taken/planned, 'PM  GatiShakti  National  Master  Plan  (NMP)'  has  been  launched  for providing  multimodal  connectivity  infrastructure  up to the  last  mile  to various Economic Zones which will be the fulcrum of economic development.
