The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP) platform could soon be accessible to the private sector. This would provide a huge opportunity for the private players as they could apply the geospatial data about infrastructure, which is stacked in the NMP, for taking decisions about locating warehouses or connecting to the market potential.

Launched on October 13, 2021, the Pradhan Mantri Gati Shakti (PMGS) scheme aims to break the inter-ministerial tangles and foster cooperation and integration in the fast track implementation of projects. The scheme is expected to smooth out the execution of projects and foster coordination among the ministries. Large-scale infrastructure projects such as Bharatmala and Bharat Net will be executed using the master plan. “Shortly, you would see the platform could or would be opened to the private sector,” Joint Secretary, DPIIT, said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
