The initiative has successfully broken-down silos through a Network Planning Group (NPG) designed to synchronise efforts across ministries. So far, 81 NPG meetings have evaluated 213 infrastructure projects with a combined worth of INR 15.48 lakh crore. Additionally, 156 infrastructure gaps have been identified by relevant ministries and departments. The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan is also dedicated to developing smart, green solutions for sustainable infrastructure.

By breaking down silos and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, the plan not only addresses critical infrastructure gaps but also lays the groundwork for sustainable development. As the nation progresses towards becoming a developed economy, the Gati Shakti initiative stands as a testament to the government's commitment to modernising India's infrastructure and promoting holistic growth.
