The approach encompasses development of infrastructure for economic transformation, seamless multimodal connectivity and logistics efficiency. World class modern infrastructure and logistics synergy are expected to help raise productivity and accelerate economic growth & development. Physical linkages so created are expected to promote comprehensive and integrated national network of transportation and logistics, create efficiency gains and avenues for further development, value addition and employment opportunities.
