The Network Planning Group (NPG) convened its 97th meeting on July 23, 2025, to assess five key rail and road infrastructure projects from MoRTH and MoR under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan.

The reviewed projects include three highway upgrades—Dwarka Tunnel (linking NH-8 to IGI Airport), Patna-Purnia Motorway (connecting airports and economic hubs), and Suratgarh-Sri Ganganagar widening (boosting cargo near the western border).

Two railway projects—Baddi-Ghanauli new line and Kanalus-Okha doubling—aim to support freight movement in industrial areas of Himachal, Punjab, and Gujarat. All projects focus on enhancing multimodal connectivity, accelerating freight movement, and improving logistics efficiency across industrial and economic zones.
