Centre Resolves Hurdles in Rs 362 Billion Infra Projects
2025-07-10

The central government has moved to resolve nearly two dozen issues delaying the implementation of infrastructure projects valued at over Rs 362 billion in Gujarat and Rajasthan. These include critical power evacuation systems for solar energy zones and a major telecommunications expansion initiative by Reliance Jio, according to an official statement.
A high-level review meeting was held last week under the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) mechanism to address obstacles affecting 18 strategic projects. Chaired by DPIIT Principal Economic Adviser Praveen Mahto, the meeting aimed to fast-track regulatory clearances and remove implementation bottlenecks through coordinated efforts between central ministries, state authorities, and private sector stakeholders.
Mahto urged all parties to adopt a proactive approach and called on private developers to effectively utilise the PMG portal—a no-cost platform for resolving approval-related delays in infrastructure and industrial projects with investment of Rs 5 billion and above.
Among the projects reviewed was the Rs 141.47 billion transmission system strengthening scheme to evacuate renewable power from solar energy zones in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Barmer, and Gujarat’s Surendranagar, Patan and Kutch. The scheme aims to integrate renewable power into the national grid via high-capacity substations and transmission lines.
The meeting also assessed Reliance Jio’s 4G and 5G expansion programme, deemed a project of national importance. It targets improved digital connectivity in underserved and remote areas, with discussions focusing on expediting forest clearances and right-of-way approvals to speed up rollout.
Overall, 22 issues related to Rs 362.96 billion worth of projects were addressed during the meeting, attended by senior officials from the central and state governments, as well as major project developers. The government reiterated its commitment to collaborative infrastructure development through timely issue resolution and efficient project execution.
