- (a) to (d): The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS NMP) initiative, launched in October 2021, provides an integrated geospatial platform combining datasets from over 58 Central Ministries/Departments and all States/UTs.

In  line  with  the  Budget  2025-26  announcement,  PM  GatiShakti  Public  was launched on 13 October 2025 through a query-based mechanism for sharing data analytics report with private entities on the basis of selected datasets on PM  GatiShakti  Public.  It  allows  public  /  private  sector  to  visualize  socioeconomic assets and infrastructure within a project's catchment area, identify suitable sites based on specific criteria, know the approvals & N.O.C.s required, and  plan  alignments  for  linear  projects  such  as  roads,  pipelines,  etc.  Its objectives are:

- (i) Provide open, user-friendly access to the PM GatiShakti platform for citizens, private entities, academia, researchers, etc.;
- (ii) Enable  geo-spatial  data  based  decision  making  project  planning  by  the private sector;
- (iii) Foster wider use of geo-spatial data analytics in planning for infrastructure and socio-economic assets;
- (iv) To  encourage  private  sector  participation  in  infrastructure  planning  and investment.

A Public/private person can access the PMGS platform through National Geospatial Data Registry (NGDR) on URL: ugi.pmgatishakti.gov.in through a selfregistration  process  requiring  two-factor  authentication.  Presently,  the  data analytics report on the portal is prepared on about 230 data layers of different Central Government Ministries/Departments.

- (e): For  PM  GatiShakti  related  expenditure  under  the  'Scheme  for  Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) for 2022-23', the Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure (DoE) under Part-II had made provision of  Rs.  5000 Crore total for disbursement among all the States as long-term loans including 07 Projects of the State of Rajasthan.
