'Foundation for self-reliant India': PM Modi hails 11 years of infra revolution

"It's been 11 years of infrastructure revolution with outstanding infrastructure being added that has enhanced India's growth trajectory," PM Modi said on X.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday continued to highlight the achievements of the 11 years of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) dispensation by posting on social media details of the “infrastructure revolution” during this period.

"It's been 11 years of infrastructure revolution with outstanding infrastructure being added that has enhanced India's growth trajectory," Modi said on X.

From railways to highways, ports to airports, India's rapidly expanding infrastructure network is boosting “Ease of Living” and enhancing prosperity, he said.  PM outlined key highlights of this transformation, including the development of modern highways and ropeways, the unlocking of India's maritime potential, affordable air travel under the UDAN scheme, and the overhaul of the country's railway system.

In another post, Modi said: “India's push for next-gen infrastructure is powered by sustainability and long-term vision.” It is laying the foundations of a self-reliant India, he added.

In a document prepared by the newly launched Press Information Bureau (PIB) Research, the government also pointed to the efficacy of the Pragati (pro-active governance and timely implementation) platform, which was put in place 10 years ago, in fast-tracking of infrastructure projects. It said the most recent meeting of Pragati, which the PM chairs, took place on May 29. This was its 47th meeting since its inception in March 2015. The government said since its launch, over 363 projects have been reviewed under the Pragati initiative, which enables the PM to directly engage with the secretaries of the government and chief secretaries of states via videoconferencing.

The government also highlighted the external challenges that it has faced — whether in its response to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism with the Uri surgical strike in 2016, the Balakot air strike of 2019, and Operation Sindoor in 2025 — and how it has dealt with challenges of internal security, such as the threat of Naxalism. In Raipur, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the PM’s target of uprooting Naxalism by March next year is being fulfilled.
