100 Industrial Clusters to Be Developed As Part Of Gati Shakti Masterplan
The government has identified close to 100 industrial clusters for comprehensive infrastructure development. These developments will be carried out in close coordination and collaborations with the state governments, following the principles of the Gati Shakti Masterplan (NMP). By utilizing the national master plan, the government and concerned states will identify deficiencies in infrastructure within a 150 km to 200 km radius of a cluster that houses a critical project, and take measures to address the inadequacies. The masterplan has a digital component in the form of a GIS platform which integrates the geospatial data related to the infrastructure in the country and planning portals of various ministries and departments. The government has identified 66 large scale projects worth about Rs 5 lakh crore for development through the Network Planning Group (NPG) under the Gati Shakti initiative to boost infrastructure. The details of the projects along with the locations and estimated costs can be explored through this link. The Gati Shakti NMP was launched in October 2021 with the objectives of holistically integrating the interventions of various ministries and departments, and addressing the gaps to ensure seamless movement of people, goods and services.
