NPG Mechanism: A New Era of Integrated Infrastructure Planning in India
The Network Planning Group (NPG) mechanism has been formally established. This marks a significant step towards improving infrastructure project planning across the nation.
The new system will evaluate projects based on several key criteria. These include integrated planning, multi-modality, inter-modality, and synchronized government efforts.
A key focus will be ensuring last-mile connectivity within and around project areas. This holistic approach aims to maximize project impact and efficiency.
The institutionalization of the NPG mechanism is expected to significantly streamline infrastructure development in India. This will be crucial for achieving the government’s ambitious infrastructure targets and boosting economic growth. The impact on rural connectivity and overall development is anticipated to be transformative.
