PM GatiShakti, the government’s geospatial infrastructure planning platform, has completed five years, with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry reporting that it now integrates more than 1,800 data layers from 58 Central Ministries and Departments and all 36 States and Union Territories. The figures were released by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on 13 October 2026.
The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS NMP) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2021. According to PIB, its geospatial digital platform was developed indigenously by the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) under Atmanirbhar Bharat, and has grown to include more than 65 software modules and tools and over 100 mobile and web applications.
How Many Infrastructure Projects Has PM GatiShakti Evaluated?
The Network Planning Group (NPG) has evaluated more than 400 infrastructure projects worth approximately ₹20.23 lakh crore using PM GatiShakti principles. PIB’s year-wise chronology puts the 2026 count at 421 projects, against 121 projects evaluated in 2024–25 and 352 projects evaluated by February 2026.
The evaluation framework emphasises integrated planning of multimodal infrastructure, last-mile connectivity to economic and social nodes, intermodal connectivity, better logistics efficiency and synchronised implementation of projects. PIB says the NPG has institutionalised a Whole-of-Government approach to project appraisal.
What Has Changed Beyond Roads, Rail and Ports?
PM GatiShakti has expanded beyond conventional infrastructure into social-sector and area-based planning. It has progressively been extended to districts, supporting integrated planning for local needs including roads, schools, healthcare facilities and water pipelines. In 2024–25 the District Master Plan was launched, and economic-sector integration was undertaken. In 2025–26 the PM GatiShakti Public platform (UGI), KMS, DUMS and a Dashboard were launched.
Institutional Push: Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority
PIB notes that the Union Cabinet has approved the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority, which is intended to strengthen multimodal connectivity. The release does not give a start date or budget for the authority, and those details were not available in the source.
Market and Trade Reaction
No market or industry-body reaction to the five-year milestone was found in the source release or in other reporting at the time of writing. For manufacturers and logistics operators, the relevance lies in project appraisal: schemes evaluated through the NPG are meant to be planned with last-mile and intermodal links in mind.
What Happens Next?
PIB frames the next phase as deeper district-level and social-sector planning plus the setting up of the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority. Readers should watch for notifications on the authority’s structure and for further NPG project evaluations.
