Avaada Group Celebrates the Third Anniversary of PM GatiShakti; Will Continue To Champion The Government’s Sustainable Infrastructure Development

Mumbai, October 13, 2024 — As the third anniversary of the National Master Plan for Multi-modal Connectivity is marked, the PM GatiShakti initiative continues to stand as a beacon of integrated planning and execution in India’s infrastructure landscape. Launched on Durga Ashtami in 2021, this initiative symbolizes a transformative approach to infrastructure, embodying the spirit of Atma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India). Avaada Group, aligned with this vision, remains committed to supporting these efforts by advancing sustainable and innovative energy solutions that contribute to the nation’s progress.

PM GatiShakti has brought together 44 Central Ministries and 36 States/UTs on a unified platform, breaking down barriers of fragmented planning. This collaboration ensures synchronized execution across various sectors, significantly reducing delays, logistical costs, and resource inefficiencies.

Key Achievements Over the Past Three Years:

Enhanced Connectivity: The Pune-Bengaluru Expressway exemplifies this success, where advanced tools on the GatiShakti platform optimized the route from 841 kilometers to 787 kilometers. This not only saved resources but also reduced environmental impact, preserving 19% of forest land in Tumakuru district.

Technological Innovation: The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite imagery, and real-time data has revolutionized project planning. This enables ministries and private players to identify intersections and coordinate effectively, mitigating bottlenecks in infrastructure development.

Sustainability: By prioritizing eco-friendly project designs, GatiShakti minimizes disruption to natural habitats. This approach has facilitated faster project completions while safeguarding the environment.

Social Impact: The PAHUNCH portal in Uttar Pradesh highlights GatiShakti’s role in enhancing access to education by mapping underserved areas, ensuring that children, especially girls in rural regions, can attend schools closer to home.

Avaada Group is proud to align its mission with PM GatiShakti’s principles and is committed to renewable energy solutions that resonate with this initiative’s goals.

Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, stated, “The PM GatiShakti initiative is a visionary step towards integrating our nation’s infrastructure. At Avaada, we are dedicated to supporting this vision by advancing sustainable practices and innovative solutions that drive economic growth and safeguard our environment for future generations. We reaffirm our commitment to an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.”

Looking ahead, further strides in digitalization are envisioned, with a focus on investing in advanced digital tools and integrating AI for predictive analytics. Additionally, there is a strong commitment to enhancing workforce capabilities through skill development, ensuring that teams are equipped to manage and optimize the use of cutting-edge technologies in infrastructure projects.

Avaada Group is committed to supporting this transformative initiative as we build a future where technology, sustainability, and collaboration drive our nation’s progress.
