The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) recently reviewed 19 key infrastructure projects across Jharkhand, Sikkim, Nagaland, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh. Chairing the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) meeting, Secretary Amardeep Singh Bhatia assessed issues in projects worth over ₹75,000 crore.
