The internal trunk infrastructure, including roads, water supply, sewerage and power distribution within the industrial city/node, are executed through EPC contractors engaged by the respective project SPVs. External connectivity infrastructure such as bulk water supply, power, telecom and roads—have been comprehensively mapped and examined on the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP) portal and undertaken by concerned state SPVs as per SHA/SSA conditions in consultation with State department/Central agencies.
The following components have been developed in the 04 completed projects:
