Expressing satisfaction with the ongoing Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project, the Chief Representative of JICA India, Saito Mitsunori, said that the PM Gati Shakti plan has accelerated public works in the country.
Mitsunori also expressed Japan’s interest in enhancing India’s border road networks and participating in the transnational power transmission project with Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
“Once the project concept is in the pipeline, meaning the official preparatory route within the government, clarity is there, and everybody is able to assess and monitor progress …. So, that has helped a lot in accelerating public works in this country,” Mitsunori said.
