About PM Gati Shakti

• PM Gati Shakti Scheme

The Gati Shakti is a national master plan aimed at the coordinated planning and 

execution of infrastructure projects in India to reduce logistics costs.

• Gati Shakti is a digital platform that will bring 16 ministries and departments of the 

Government of India together and that includes the Railways and the Roadways 

also.

• The idea is to have a coordinated execution of infrastructure connectivity projects 

across the country.

• It is a Rs.100 lakh-crore project for developing ‘holistic infrastructure’.

• The existing infrastructure schemes under various ministries will be incorporated 

into this plan, including Sagarmala, Bharatmala, UDAN scheme, inland waterways, 

etc.

• The master plan will also cover economic zones such as pharmaceutical clusters, 

textile clusters, defence corridors, industrial corridors, electronic parks, fishing 

clusters, and agri zones.

• It will also leverage technology extensively including spatial planning tools with ISRO 

imagery developed by BiSAG-N.

Freight Operations Information System (FOIS)

• Freight Operation Information System (FOIS) Map View–A GIS based monitoring and 

management tool designed and developed in CRIS which provides layered views of 

freight trains on Indian Railways.
