Why in the news

Private companies may soon get Gati Shakti information on demand rather than direct portal entry, and a new startup fund has been announced.

Key facts

  • Current position: portal use is limited to ministries and central and state bodies preparing infrastructure plans.
  • Proposed model: need-based information for firms working on last-mile logistics and infrastructure, after safety issues are settled.
  • Nodal body: DPIIT is to finalise terms after inter-departmental consultation; the step follows the Finance Minister’s Budget announcement.

₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds

  • Targets manufacturing and high-tech startups that need patient, long-term capital.
  • Differs from funds that mainly back early-stage, service-based ventures.
  • Expected to lift domestic manufacturing, reduce import dependence and encourage deep-tech innovation.

Exam angle

  • Nodal department: DPIIT.
  • Fund size: ₹10,000 crore.
