The Prime Minister also took to X today and said, "Chaired a PRAGATI meeting yesterday, where projects worth over Rs. 62,000 crore were reviewed, covering diverse sectors like roads, power, water resources, semiconductors and more. Emphasised on ensuring all infra projects are completed on time. Also deliberated on RERA-related grievances. It's our Government's priority to ensure justice for homebuyers."

In a review of public grievances related to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), PM Modi called for improved quality and timeliness in grievance redressal to ensure justice and fairness for homebuyers and directed State Governments to enforce mandatory registration of all eligible real estate projects under the RERA Act, underscoring that strict compliance is essential to rebuild trust in the housing sector, the release stated.

The Prime Minister also examined best practices in India's Semiconductor Ecosystem, noting their potential as a model for broader adoption across States and Union Territories to bolster the National Semiconductor Mission.

As of the latest PRAGATI meetings, a total of 373 projects worth approximately Rs 20.64 lakh crore have been reviewed, reflecting the platform's pivotal role in driving governance and infrastructure development. (ANI)
