Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (28 May) reviewed mega infrastructure projects worth over Rs 62,000 crore at a virtual meeting with Central, state and UT officials.

PM Modi chaired the PRAGATI meeting, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, involving Centre and State governments, on Wednesday.

"During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed three major infrastructure projects with a cumulative cost of over Rs 62,000 crore, spanning the sectors of Road Transport, Power, and Water Resources located across various States and UTs," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.

Emphasizing the strategic importance of these projects, PM Modi called for concerted efforts to overcome implementation bottlenecks and ensure their timely completion.

Highlighting the adverse impact of project delays, the Prime Minister reiterated that such setbacks not only inflate costs but also deprive citizens of essential services and infrastructure.

He urged all stakeholders to prioritise efficiency and accountability, stressing that timely delivery is critical to maximizing socio-economic outcomes.

PM Modi also reviewed public grievances linked to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).

The Prime Minister emphasised the need to improve the quality and timeliness of grievance disposal to ensure justice and fairness for homebuyers.

He asked State governments to ensure the mandatory registration of all eligible real estate projects under the RERA Act.

The Prime Minister emphasised that strict compliance with RERA provisions is critical for restoring trust in the housing market.

The Prime Minister also took stock of best practices emerging from the development of India's Semiconductor Ecosystem.

He highlighted their potential to act as blueprints for other states and UTs and reinforce the National Semiconductor Mission.

Since inception, the PRAGATI platform has reviewed 373 projects valued at Rs 20.64 lakh crore, according to the PMO.
