New Delhi: The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has evaluated 18 road projects in the 78th meeting of the Network Planning Group (NPG) under the PM GatiShakti, the government said Friday.

Projects in the Chennai-Mahabalipuram-Pondicherry Corridor, Bhopal-Sagar Economic Corridor, Ahmednagar-Solapur Corridor, Talegaon-Chakan–Shikrapur Corridor, among others were reviewed in the meeting.

“These projects are anticipated to play pivotal roles in nation-building by integrating various modes of transport and providing substantial socio-economic benefits, thereby contributing to the overall development of the regions,” the DPIIT said.


These projects, across various states including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Bihar, align with the principles of integrated planning outlined in the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan.

The NPG evaluated all eighteen projects based on the principles of PM GatiShakti- integrated development of multimodal infrastructure, last-mile connectivity to economic and social nodes, intermodal connectivity, and synchronized implementation.
