Planning group saves ₹15 crore per km in construction of highways
Mint Mumbai
|December 04, 2023
The Network Planning Group (NPG) under the PM Gati Shakti initiative for logistics efficiency reckons it can save up to ₹15 crore per km for projects run by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
The estimated savings are due to a reduction in the length of roads by integrating various expressway corridors after modifications of alignment for NHAI projects, said Sumita Dawra, who is leading the NPG as special secretary, department for promotion of industry and internal trade.
The NPG, one of three institutional mechanisms established under the PM Gati Shakti initiative, alongside Empowered Group of Secretaries and Technical Support Unit, has assessed 119 infrastructure projects worth $143.26 billion since its inception in October 2021.
It has recommended improvements to over 200 state logistics infrastructure projects valued at $660 million.
