We are going to explore this plan, its technology used, its developing ecosystem of Multimodal Transportation in Indian Supply Chain. You can read this blog in various languages.
What is PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP)
As we know with the aim of supplying multimodal connectivity infrastructure to different economic zones on October 13, 2021, the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) was introduced in proximity cost of the projects worth close to Rs. 100 lakh crores. It is not a secrete that economic growth and sustainable development of every nation will depends on seven engines. That’s are roadways, ports, inland waterways, airports and airways, multimodal transportation and logistics infrastructure.
In the past India’s business system, there has been a deficiency in coordination among various government departments, leading to problems. Such as protracted approval processes and multiple regulatory official clearances and there is necessity to break through these departmental strategies have to implement and achieve the development goals. For this PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) for multi-modal connectivity, which brings together 16 ministries. Thats are the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), the Ministry of Railways (MoR), the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (MoPSW), the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and so on. You should know dynamics pillars for foundation of the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan are the comprehensiveness, prioritization, optimization, synchronization, analytical.
Role of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in PM GatiShakti National Master Plan
In relation to a thorough database of the trunk and utility infrastructure, as well as current and upcoming projects of various infrastructure, structures and economic ministries and departments of the central government, states, and union territories, is provided by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). Firstly, economic zones of Indian enterprises are mapped for integrated infrastructure planning. These zones include textile clusters, pharmaceutical clusters, defense corridors, electronic parks, industrial corridors, fishing clusters, agricultural zones, etc. States and UTs adopt the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan institutional mechanism and NPG structure are being adopt at the state and UT level to evaluate last and first-mile connectivity gaps for ground surveys, land records, highway alignments, etc.

Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal Operator (GCTO)
As a reaction to government initiative the Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal Operator (GCTO) scheme launched by the Indian Railway with the objective of expediting the growth of railway cargo traffic by promoting the proliferation of new cargo terminals and enhancing the existing private siding. This initiative will help to increase the modal share of rail. The Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal Operator (GCTO), who will be chosen through an open tendering process. It is open to applications from sole proprietorship firms, companies registered under the Company Act 2013, and limited liability partnership firms. Once they have the required approval, the operators will determine the location and build the terminal; accordingly buildings can be constructed at railway or private property land.
Process of GCTO
However the licensing period for land owned by railroads was five years but now days it will renewable every five years for a maximum of thirty-five years. The Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal Operator (GCTO) will not impose any fees on commercial railway employees posting at the terminal. The Ministry of Railways will retain ownership of the infrastructure, but the investor will pay the full capital cost of construction and look after its maintenance. Consequently, GCTO is able to build infrastructure and offer value-added services like processing, packaging, and warehousing.
The Ministry of Railways shall charge the terminal for handling rakes and reimburse the investor according to a predetermined schedule. The 510 km2 of surplus railway land is being made available to third parties for the construction of logistic terminals with private investment. The Multi-Modal Master Plan of the GMNMP plan at least 300 GCTs freight terminals.
Subsequently, three new major economic railway corridors were proposed for construction under the Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal (GCT) policy. In order to enable multi-modal connectivity, the projects have been identified based on the following points under PM GatiShakti National Master Plan.
These are listed in the following order:
(1) Corridors related to energy, minerals, and cement;
(2) Port connectivity; and
(3) High traffic density
Dedicated Freight Corridors
Western Corridor WDFC
Western Corridor WDFC is double line electrified track spanning 1506 km, connecting Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, and JNPT, Mumbai, via Vadodara, Sanand, Palanpur, Pulera, and Rewari.
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are among the states covered.
Western DFC join Eastern Corridor close to Dadri.
The operational routes are as follows: 244 km from Makarpura to Gholvad, 77 km from Gholvad to Vitrarna, 938 km from Dadri to Sanand, and 138 km from Sanand to Makarpur.
East Coast Corridor
East Coast Corridor is 1080 km long passing states Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and Orissa.
Mostly follows the existing coastal railway line between Vijayawada and Kharagpur.
Potential Traffic from the East Coast Corridor
The primary sources of traffic that East Coast Corridor are thermal power plants, ports, fertilizer plants, coal and iron ore mines, POL, CONCOR ICDs, FCI Goods Sheds, and other sources.
East West Corridor (EWDFC)
East West Corridor (EWDFC) 1738 RKM longBhusaval to Dankuni passing through West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra will extended from Bhusaval to Palghar
Possible sources of traffic include:
major and minor ports; fertilizers; thermal power plants; petroleum oil lubricants (POL); cement plants; Container Corporation (CONCOR) inland container deports (ICDs); Food Corporation of India (FCI) Goods sheds; and mines of coal, iron ore, bauxite, manganese, and ferro alloys.
North-South Corridor (NSDFC)
North-South Corridor (NSDFC) is 890 RKM Itarsi-Nagpur-Vijayawada long routes passing through four states—Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. The Railway Board has extended this corridor from Vijayawada to Nidubrolu.
Natural resources like coal and other minerals, steel plants nearby, industrial hubs like cement plants, thermal power plants, and logistic parks that produce heavy freight along the North-South Subcorridor route are all present in the areas surrounding the route.
Traffic Potential:
Coal mines, cement factories, thermal power plants (TPP), petroleum oil lubricants (POL), Container Corporation (CONCOR) inland container deports (ICDs), Food Corporation of India (FCI) godowns, fertilizers, etc. are the main traffic generators that will contribute to the North-South Corridor in the Project Influence Area (PIA).
Owing to these corridors, trains average speed on these dedicated tracks is 50–60 km/h (with the potential to reach 100 km/h). Before days this speed was range from 20–25 km/h for goods trains. It is honor us to say that in 1951 railway acquire 73 MT of freight traffic; in 2021 that number raise to 1210 MT and now days Indian railways plans to handle 1600 MT by 2024–2025.
Technology used in PM GatiShakti National Master Plan
The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) was created using a dynamic Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. It was created as a digital spatial planning tool by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) and an imagery-based map by BiSAG-N (Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics). The map will be construct using open-source technologies and safely housed on the Indian government’s MEGHRAJ cloud. With NMP’s electronic Detail Route Survey (eDRS), reports can be produced more quickly. It will make use of base maps from the Survey of India and satellite imagery from ISRO.
Planning, designing, and carrying out infrastructure projects with a shared vision is made easier by the integration of more than 200 GIS layers with the extensive database of past, present, and future projects from multiple Ministries. Each Ministry will receive unique user identification (login id) for the digital system’s software, which will allow them to update their data on a regular basis.
In the first place planning, reviewing, and monitoring will be possible with the integration of all Ministries’ data onto a single platform. Through BISAG-N, the logistics division of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry (MOCI) will also help all stakeholders create and update the necessary system layers and update their database using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Separately, satellite imagery periodically provides on-ground progress, enabling all departments and ministries to examine, track, and visualize the advancement of cross-sectoral initiatives.
Unified Logistics Interface Platform
With GIS-based spatial planning and analytical tools, the Logistics Data Bank and Unified Logistics Interface Platform can combine all pertinent data under one roof. To increase connectivity and boost the competitiveness of Indian businesses, economic zones such as textile clusters, pharmaceutical clusters, defence corridors, electronic parks, industrial corridors, fishing clusters, and agricultural zones will be covered. By integrating this data with the GIS-enabled PM Gati Shakti platform, it is possible to plan, design, and monitor Next Generation infrastructure projects all on one portal. The master plan’s technological prowess and overwhelming strength may prove to be very advantageous for the developing world.

Business Ecosystem can develop along with PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) project
Someone said that corporate capital from this project ruins of national assets as well as foundation of liberal democratic State but it is unavoidable in global economy. This project will destroy traditional jobs but can create other opportunities or modern jobs. It is seems to that more big private business players involve in this project. But it can produce opportunities for small business players also that’s:-
Cargo Aggregator
Cargo Aggregator can move moves bulk as well as non-bulk cargo.
Multimodal Transporter
Multimodal transportation refers to the utilization of various modes of transportation, such as road, rail, river, and so forth.
Hub and Spoke Services
In order to connect distant locations, freight traffic planners arrange routes as a network of “spokes” that center around a central “hub” for transportation.
Warehouse services
Warehouse Businesses that store goods in warehouses for long periods of time in order to distribute, sell, or manufacture them. These businesses usually have storage spaces, loading docks, conveyors, and other equipment for handling materials.
Cold Storage Services
For perishable cargo, cold storage is a unique type of room where the temperature is maintain at a very low level with the use of machinery and precision instruments.
Labor- mechanized cargo handling operators
Call of Action
Railways have not yet reached their full potential in terms of carrying non-bulk freight. For small players, multimodal transport operations such as Rail-Ship-Rail, Road-Rail-Road, etc., can generate piecemeal traffic. Training is required for this for capacity building in the logistics and supply chain management industries with high-quality education.
Conclusion
Last but not least, the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan reduced the costs associated with logistic. It enhancing supply chains and raising the competitiveness of local goods on a global scale.
