PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP) has   digital component in the form of a GIS based platform which integrates the geospatial data related to the infrastructures in the country and planning portals of various Ministries/Departments of the Government .This was launched in October, 2021 with the objectives viz, facilitating data-based decision- making for integrated planning, prioritisation of projects, synchronised implementation, optimisation of cost and time and project monitoring .

Empowered  Group  of  Secretaries  (EGoS),  headed  by  the  Cabinet  Secretary  with Secretaries of various infrastructure and economic Ministries/Departments as Members, is  the  apex  level  of  the  administrative  arrangement  created for implementation of PMGatiShakti National Master Plan.

Network Planning Group (NPG), consisting of heads of Planning Divisions of 8(Eight) Infrastructure Ministries along with representative from Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and NITI Aayog, evaluates the project proposals emanating from various  Ministries/Departments  for  their  conformity  to  the  principles/objectives  of  PMGatiShakti.

Technical Support Unit (TSU), constituted at the Central Government level with Director level officers drawn from various infrastructure Ministries, Subject Matter Experts (SME) and Young Professionals (YPs), undertakes the detailed analysis of the project proposals.

The  EGoSs,  NPGs  and  TSUs  have  also  been  constituted  in  all  the  States/Union Territories.

Further, following steps are taken for improving the ease of governance and resolution of issues related to planning or implementation of the projects;

- (i) NPG is facilitating ease of governance as projects are discussed among all the concerned Ministries to indicate their respective priorities at the planning stage itself .Meetings of NPG are held at regular intervals to evaluate project proposals for multi-modal, last mile connectivity and recommend the same for approval.
- (ii) The project planning is done using NMP platform wherein all concerned Ministries inter alia, can see existing infrastructures, infrastructure gaps, projects planned or under  implementation,  land  type  along  the  potential  alignment  .This  helps  in addressing the requirements of stakeholders and data-based decisions related to planning of the projects.
- (iii) The projects at various stages of implementation are being monitored on Project Monitoring  Group  (PMG)  portal  .This  is  facilitating  active  resolution  of  issues related to the projects which can otherwise lead to time and cost over run.
- (iv) Horizontal integration of Ministries of Central and State Governments has led to their sensitisation about data-based decision-making relating to project planning at all levels.
