Summary
The Authority will conduct research, evaluate projects, monitor implementation, and produce a National Transport Master Plan covering roads, railways, ports, aviation, waterways and urban mobility for at least ten years.
It will assess and oversee major infrastructure projects costing more than 500 crore rupees, using existing financial appraisal systems.
A National Transport Data Repository will gather data from Goods and Services Tax electronic way bills, electronic toll collection tags, vehicle registration, GPS and traffic management systems for analysis.
The initiative aims to improve efficiency, reduce logistics costs and support India’s Vision 2047 for better connectivity.
