Since the BJP Government took charge in May this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will for the second time personally review the progress of infrastructure sectors across the country.
Ministers and officials from Roads, Railways and Power are expected to make their presentations to the Prime Minister on November 5.
“The Prime Minister has called a meeting to review the progress of various infrastructure projects being implemented under different Ministries on November 5,” said a source from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
“Since the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) has been monitoring infrastructure sectors, the Prime Minister will review the progress report prepared by body. He will also assess the reports prepared by individual Ministries,” he said.
According to the information available, Planning Secretary Sindhushree Khullar will also be present at the meeting to brief the Prime Minister about the monitoring report on infrastructure prepared by the PMG.
The PMG has been calling meetings of various officials these days to finalise its assessment report on different infrastructure sectors.
In order to push infrastructure development in the country, Modi had asked his Ministers to electronically monitor the progress of projects and directed the Railways to submit a comprehensive plan for encouraging foreign direct investment in the last review meeting held on September 12.
There are instructions to review progress of eight major infrastructure sectors - Civil Aviation, Ports and Inland Waterways, Railways, Roads, Telecom, Power, Coal, and New and Renewable Energy on monthly basis.
