The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP) portal will highlight key details of nine high-impact power transmission projects spread across six states rich in renewable energy (RE), namely, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. With ‘One-click Comprehensive view’, the portal will not only make the planning and implementation process simpler by reducing time and implementation cost but also improve logistics efficiency through a single digital platform.

At the planning stage, it will enable the user to identify the tentative line length of the planned transmission line and the location of the substation and during the implementation stage, the transmission line route would be finalised based on actual conditions.
“In line with the goal of PM Gati Shakti, entire existing Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) lines have been mapped on the portal spanning across length and breadth of the country. Also, 90 percent under construction ISTS lines have also been integrated into the portal and the remaining 10 percent are to be integrated after finalisation of route survey by respective Transmission Service Providers,” Power Ministry said in a statement.

The idea for ‘One Sun, One World, One Grid’ has set the tone for a strong transmission system supporting India’s renewable energy goals. Launched in October 2021, the PM Gati Shakti NMP would go a long way in providing multi-modal connectivity of infrastructure to various economic zones.
