The government has shortlisted 50 key infrastructure projects worth more than INR 2 lakh crore for regular monitoring by the prime minister’s office (PMO) to ensure their early completion.

As reported in a leading daily, the PMO has set up a monitoring group consisting of secretaries to thrash out the issues holding up these projects or causing delay..

The projects include Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, Char Dham road connectivity improvement, Delhi-Meerut expressway, redevelopment of New Delhi railway station, JNPT terminal-4 in Mumbai, phase-1 of Pune Metro Rail, Navi Mumbai International airport and 1,200-km Paradip Hyderabad Product Pipeline.
