New Delhi [India], April 23 (ANI): Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) which is responsible for fostering industrial growth and internal trade reviewed mega infrastructure projects in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttarakhand.
The total cost of these projects exceeds Rs14,096 crore, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry in a release.
Amardeep Bhatia, Secretary, DPIIT, chaired a high-level meeting to review 19 issues across 17 significant mega infrastructure projects.
The review meeting, conducted under the aegis of the Project Monitoring Group (PMG), was attended by senior officials from central ministries, state governments, and project proponents.
The discussions focused on fast-tracking resolution of implementation challenges through enhanced inter-ministerial and inter-state coordination.
Among the major projects reviewed was the four-laning of the Jaunpur-Akbarpur road project, valued at Rs 3,164.72 crore. The project involves two key issues across two work packages, and is crucial for improving regional connectivity and road infrastructure.
The meeting also laid emphasis on the establishment of new ESI Hospitals at multiple strategic locations. These projects are part of the Government of India’s broader effort to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, particularly in underserved and high-demand regions.
Bhatia noted that the hospitals will significantly improve access to quality medical care and contribute to regional development, thereby supporting the well-being of the workforce and their families.
The construction of the permanent campus of NIT Uttarakhand at Sumari in Pauri Garhwal district was another key project reviewed.
Aimed at strengthening the region’s educational ecosystem, the campus will provide a state-of-the-art academic and administrative environment for the institute. Once operational, it is expected to elevate the quality of technical education and research in Uttarakhand and spur local socio-economic development.
Bhatia reiterated the Government’s commitment to reinforcing the institutional framework for project monitoring and urged all stakeholders to adopt a proactive approach for issue resolution. He encouraged private sector participants to actively engage with the PMG platform to expedite project implementation by leveraging streamlined coordination with the government and other key entities.
