As part of the PMGatiShakti initiative, a total of six big ticket infrastructure projects, covering roads and railways, requiring an investment of Rs 52,000 crore, have been approved. The NPG meeting has reviewed these project proposals. The first project proposal is a Greenfield Road located in Gujarat and Maharashtra, that will benefit not only industrial belts in Navsari, Nashik, Ahmednagar districts but also the agriculture sector in the region. The second Greenfield Road project is also located in Gujarat, through Banaskantha, Patan, Mahesana, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad District. It will connect Amritsar-Jamnagar economic corridor with Ahmedabad and Vadodara and will integrate with other modes of transportation. The third road project involves construction of 4 laning of Patna- Arrah-Sasaram corridor under Bharatmala Pariyojna. The project will help in improving logistics efficiency by reducing existing route and travel time, and provide seamless connectivity for the traffic coming from UP through Purvanchal Expressway and going towards Jharkhand and Patna. It will also integrate the waterways in the region. The fourth road project will improve the interstate connectivity among Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand. Furthermore, the two Railway project proposals with a total project cost of about Rs. 6700 crore were also assessed. One Greenfield railway line project is located in Odisha and passes through the districts of Ganjam, Nayagarh, Khandhamal, Boudh, Sambalpur and Angul districts. Another railway project proposal is located in Kerala, and involves doubling of railway lines. NPG acknowledged that these projects will benefit a number of aspirational districts and tribal districts by opening the door for industrial development.
