Developed indigenously by the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, the PM GatiShakti geospatial digital platform promotes coordinated infrastructure planning across Central Ministries, Departments and States and Union Territories. It integrates geospatial data to support coordinated decision-making, multimodal and intermodal connectivity, and last-mile links to economic and social infrastructure.
The platform has integrated approximately 1,800 data layers covering 58 Central Ministries and Departments and all 36 States and Union Territories. It has also enabled the development and integration of more than 65 software modules and tools, along with over 100 mobile and web applications, to support data-driven planning.
The Network Planning Group (NPG) has evaluated 421 infrastructure projects worth approximately Rs 20.23 lakh crore based on PM GatiShakti principles. The framework assesses multimodal infrastructure planning, last-mile connectivity to economic and social nodes, intermodal links, logistics efficiency and coordinated project implementation. The NPG has also institutionalised a Whole-of-Government approach to infrastructure planning.
The initiative has expanded beyond conventional infrastructure to support social-sector development and district-level planning. Its applications include integrated planning for roads, schools, healthcare facilities, water pipelines and other essential services to address local socioeconomic needs.
In September 2025, the PM GatiShakti Public platform was launched through the Unified Geospatial Interface (UGI), extending selected data and analytical capabilities to private entities and the public. Other digital initiatives, including the Knowledge Management System (KMS), Decentralised Data Uploading and Management System (DUMS) and PM GatiShakti National Master Plan Dashboard, have strengthened knowledge sharing, data management and infrastructure monitoring.
The programme has progressed through successive phases of foundation, expansion, integration and digitalisation. In 2022–23, eight key infrastructure Ministries were onboarded and 71 projects were evaluated. During 2023–24, social-sector integration advanced, with 1,463 data layers and all 36 States and Union Territories onboarded. In 2024–25, economic-sector integration was undertaken, the District Master Plan was launched and 121 projects were evaluated.
During 2025–26, the public platform and UGI, KMS, DUMS and the dashboard were launched. By February 2026, 352 projects had been evaluated. The cumulative number subsequently reached 421 projects worth Rs 20.23 lakh crore, alongside the integration of approximately 1,800 data layers, more than 65 tools and over 100 applications.
To strengthen long-term transport planning, the Union Cabinet also approved the establishment of the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority (ITLA). The authority is intended to strengthen research, planning, project appraisal, monitoring and impact assessment across transportation and logistics.
ITLA is expected to support multimodal infrastructure connectivity, improve infrastructure efficiency, reduce logistics costs and enhance India's competitiveness in global logistics. Its establishment builds on PM GatiShakti's integrated planning framework by placing greater emphasis on coordination and long-term transport and logistics development.
As India advances towards its Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, PM GatiShakti is intended to support coordinated infrastructure investment, multimodal connectivity and improved logistics efficiency. Its evolution from a national digital planning platform into a broader geospatial ecosystem reflects the government's approach to integrating infrastructure development with economic and regional planning.
