Elaborating the PM GatiShakti, the Finance Minister said that it is a transformative approach for 
economic growth and sustainable development. The approach is driven by seven engines, 
namely, Roads, Railways, Airports, Ports, Mass Transport, Waterways, and Logistics 
Infrastructure. All seven engines will pull forward the economy in unison. These engines are 
supported by the complementary roles of Energy Transmission, IT Communication, Bulk Water 
& Sewerage, and Social Infrastructure. Finally, the approach is powered by Clean Energy and 
Sabka Prayas – the efforts of the Central Government, the state governments, and the private 
sector together – leading to huge job and entrepreneurial opportunities for all, especially the 
youth.
