Marking 5 years of PM Gati Shakti, I am proud to reflect on its impact on aviation infrastructure in the country!

With PM Gati Shakti we could take faster & informed decisions for site selection of Greenfield Airport at Kuppam, land feasibility for Keshod Airport expansion and external infrastructure planning for Bagdogra Airport expansion.

PM Gati Shakti's data-driven planning helps us save about 3 months in airport site evaluation, 6 months in obstacle mitigation, 9 months in land acquisition.

And we continue to leverage it for planning of projects at Bihta, Kota, Silchar, Srinagar and Ayodhya!
