The government will provide access to key data and maps from the PM Gati Shakti portal to support public-private partnerships (PPPs) and assist the private sector in project planning,  finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

“For furthering PPPs and assisting the private sector in project planning, access to relevant data and maps from the PM Gati Shakti portal will be provided,” the finance minister said during her Union Budget 2025-2026 speech.

In 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched PM Gati Shakti – National Master Plan for multi-modal connectivity. It is a digital platform to bring 16 ministries, including railways and roadways, together for integrated planning and coordinated implementation of infrastructure connectivity projects.

As per media reports, since the inception of the PM Gati Shakti portal, the government has been aiming to make relevant data accessible to the private sector. However, national security concerns had to be addressed first, necessitating the implementation of stringent security measures to safeguard the data.

In her budget speech, the finance minister also said that the government will set up a National Geospatial Mission to develop foundational geospatial infrastructure and data.

The government will use PM Gati Shakti to facilitate the modernisation of land records, urban planning and design of infrastructure projects.

The geospatial space is growing in India and has seen companies like MapmyIndia and other emerging players such as LocaleAI, SatNav, SatGuide, and Aarav Unmanned Systems make major breakthroughs in the sector.

For startups, the finance minister also announced a new fund of funds with an allocation of INR 10,000 Cr.
