94th Meeting of Network Planning Group under PM GatiShakti Evaluates Key Infrastructure Projects
The 94th meeting of the Network Planning Group (NPG) was convened today to evaluate key infrastructure proposals in the Metro Rail and Civil Aviation sectors. The projects were assessed for alignment with the principles of the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP), with a focus on enhancing multimodal connectivity, last-mile integration, and intermodal coordination to improve logistics efficiency and socio-economic outcomes.
A total of five infrastructure proposals were evaluated—four Metro Rail projects proposed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), and one Greenfield Airport project proposed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA). These initiatives are expected to reduce travel time, support urban decongestion, and stimulate regional growth across the concerned areas.
Projects evaluated:
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA)
Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA)
The meeting was chaired by Joint Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Shri Pankaj Kumar.
- Extension of Metro Line from Aerocity to IGD T-1:
A 2.16 km underground extension of the Aerocity–Tughlakabad corridor to Indira Gandhi Domestic Terminal-1 (IGD T-1) has been proposed. It includes the development of a new metro station at IGD T-1 and will connect key residential zones including Tughlakabad, Khanpur, Saket, Mehrauli, and Vasant Kunj. The extension will enhance airport access and regional transit, especially for commuters from Faridabad via the Tughlakabad interchange.
