Among the key initiatives inaugurated at the event was the launch of “PM Gatishakti Public” through the Unified Geospatial Interface (UGI), a significant step towards democratizing access to infrastructure and geospatial data.
This query-based web platform provides regulated access to select non-sensitive datasets from the PM Gatishakti NMP. This allows private entities, consultants, researchers, and citizens to leverage advanced analytics for infrastructure planning and investment decisions. Developed by the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) and powered by the National Geospatial Data Registry (NGDR), the platform allows users to access 230 approved datasets covering physical and social infrastructure assets, perform site suitability analysis, connectivity mapping, alignment planning, compliance checks, and generate analytical reports based on pre-defined templates and user-defined criteria. Users can also view multi-layered geospatial data, promoting better project design, inter-agency coordination, and private sector participation.
Access to the platform is possible through self-registration, with strong authentication and data security protocols in place to ensure compliance with privacy and policy norms.
The platform will continue to evolve in future phases by adding new data layers and analytical modules based on user feedback and emerging requirements.
Launched on October 13, 2021, PM GatiShakti has revolutionized infrastructure planning and implementation in India by integrating geospatial data from over 57 central ministries, departments, and states/union territories.
This initiative has brought about a paradigm shift in coordinated infrastructure development. It has accelerated project implementation, reduced logistics costs, and improved service delivery, accelerating economic growth and enhancing India’s global competitiveness.
Over the past four years, PM GatiShakti has evaluated hundreds of major infrastructure projects, engaging all central ministries, departments, and state governments.
It has adopted cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence for planning and analysis. This initiative is evolving as a cornerstone of India’s infrastructure development framework.
This initiative reinforces the commitment to transparency, integrated planning, and innovation in line with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat by extending PM GatiShakti’s advanced data analytics capabilities to the private and public sectors.
It embodies the “whole of government” and “whole of society” approach by fostering collaboration among ministries, industries, and citizens in infrastructure planning and implementation.
This platform further strengthens evidence-based decision-making and helps realize the vision of a developed India 2047.
