The Centre has shortlisted 50 key infrastructure projects worth over Rs 2 lakh crore for regular monitoring by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to ensure their early completion. The PMO has set up a monitoring group consisting of Secretaries that will thrash out the issues holding up these projects or causing delays. The projects include — Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, Char Dham road connectivity, Delhi-Meerut expressway, redevelopment of New Delhi railway station, JNPT Terminal-4 in Mumbai, Phase-1 of Pune Metro Rail, Navi Mumbai International airport and 1,200 km Paradip Hyderabad Product Pipeline. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for all the above projects barring the redevelopment of New Delhi railway station. The bid dates have been extended for the railway project. Many of these projects have been delayed due to various reasons such as non-availability of land and green clearances, add reports.
