Why Need of a Gati Shakti Plan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gati Shakti Master Plan focuses on coordinated planning and effective implementation of infrastructure projects so that the logistics costs can be brought down. It has been observed in the past that there exists a lack of coordination between different Departments \/ Ministries which lead to a wide gap between macro planning and micro implementation as departments think and work in silos. Poor infrastructure planning badly affects the road Infrastructure. Also, high logistics costs that amount to 13-14% of GDP impact cost structures within the economy which make shipping merchandise to buyers costly for exporters.<\/strong> This reduces the competitiveness of India\u2019s exports. The Gati Shakti Master Plan is expected to create quality infrastructure for Sustainable Development thus giving rise to many economic activities and creating employment on a large scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
