multi-modal connectivity infrastructure to various economic zones including
ports and shipping centres
PM Gati Shakti National
Master Plan (NMP) is a transformative approach for integrated and holistic
planning across concerned Ministries/Departments to improve multimodal
connectivity, logistics efficiency and to address critical infrastructure gaps
for seamless movement of people and goods, with focus on minimising disruptions
and ensuring timely completion of projects.
The NMP aims at facilitating
development of multi-modal connectivity infrastructure to various economic
zones including Ports and shipping sector. 101 number of projects in respect of
Ports and Shipping have so far been identified under PM Gati Shakti initiative
worth Rs. 60,872 Crores for implementation. Out of these, 13 projects worth Rs.
4,423 Crore have been completed. The statewise list of projects for Ports and
shipping sector is annexed.
For enhanced capital
expenditure by States for infrastructure development, the Ministry of Finance,
Department of Expenditure through part-II (for PM-Gati Shakti related
expenditure) of the "Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital
Investment for 2022-23" has made an additional provision of Rs. 5000
crores for disbursement among the States as long-term loans at a zero interest
rate.
Ministry of Ports, Shipping
and Waterways has undertaken various initiatives for ease of doing business.
Incentives such as Model Concession Agreement, flexibility to concessioners,
New tariff guidelines etc have been issued which allows improvement in port
performance at Major Ports. However, Under PM Gati Shakti there is no envisaged
structure related to additional incentives to any high performing port.
