Government plans to set up single agency for infrastructure planning, monitoring & evaluation

The Indian government is working on setting up a single agency for infrastructure planning, monitoring, and evaluation to ensure maximum impact on the economy and quality of life. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has been asked to create an initial framework. This comes as the government has increased capital expenditure allocation and aims to evaluate projects' short-term and medium-term impacts. The finance ministry has also suggested productivity tests for completed projects and an assessment of freight modal share for rationalization.
