Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the multi modal connectivity, Gati Shakti Plan, today, the 13th of October. The digital platform connectivity of big business and enterprises, including the ministries of India was launched today. The new Gati Shakti plan is going to be worth Rs. 100 lakh crores.

These would cover these information to improve connectivity and make Indian businesses more competitive. It would also leverage technology extensively including spatial planning tools and future vision of growing business.
Gati Shakti is going to help in fulfilling the ambitious targets set by the Union Government for the period of 2024-2045, including expanding the the length of the national highway network to 2 lakh route km, creation of over 200 airports, heliports and water aerodromes and doubling the gas pipeline network to 35,000 km.
