On which date was the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan launched?

The correct answer is 58. The master plan brings 58 Central Ministries and Departments into a single planning framework, so that infrastructure proposals can be assessed across sectors rather than ministry by ministry. Option A, 36, is the number of States and Union Territories covered by the plan, and the pair of figures is easy to swap in an exam. Option B belongs to the Unified Logistics Interface Platform, which had connected 46 government systems as of July 2026 through its application programming interfaces. Option D, 230, is the count of approved datasets made available on the public PM GatiShakti platform for site suitability analysis, connectivity mapping, alignment planning and compliance checks. Only option C answers the question asked, which is about ministries and departments.

The correct answer is 500 crore rupees. The Union Cabinet has approved setting up the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority, which will take a long-term view of transport planning. It will prepare a National Transport Master Plan with a horizon of ten years or more, assess sectoral and annual transport plans, appraise projects costing 500 crore rupees or more, and monitor their implementation. The other three thresholds are plausible figures for project appraisal but none of them is the limit set for this authority. The authority will also build a National Transport Data Repository by pulling together information from sources such as FASTag, Vahan and GSTN e-way bills, which gives planners a single view of how goods and people actually move across the country.

The correct answer is 23,493. That is the number of data layers on the common Geographic Information System platform as of 12 October 2026, covering infrastructure assets and other information that planners need when they fix an alignment or test a site. Option A is close to the count of projects the Network Planning Group has appraised, which is 396, and is offered here as a trap built from that figure. Option B is simply a plausible intermediate number with no basis in the plan. Option D is built out of the 58 ministries and departments the plan covers and is far above the actual layer count. Separately, the public platform carries 230 approved datasets, and private users have had access through a query-based mechanism since October 2025.

The correct answer is nine. The partnership covers a cluster of five Government ITIs in Surat in Gujarat and a cluster of four Government ITIs in Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, which adds up to nine institutes in two states. Option A, five, is only the Surat cluster, so it leaves out Andhra Pradesh altogether. Option B does not match either cluster or their sum. Option D, fourteen, is drawn from a different count in the announcement, namely the first 14 Strategic Investment Plans approved under the scheme, which together carry a proposed investment of 3,446 crore rupees. The approved investment for these nine institutes is about 440 crore rupees, split as 240 crore rupees for Surat and 200 crore rupees for Visakhapatnam.

The correct answer is 51 per cent. Dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles are being set up to manage the upgradation and operations of the two ITI clusters, and in them the industry partner AM/NS India holds a majority stake of 51 per cent. Option A, 24.5 per cent, is the equity that the Government of India holds, and the same share is held by the respective state government, so together the two governments account for 49 per cent. Option B is therefore the combined government share rather than the company's. Option D is not part of this structure at all. The majority stake is what gives the arrangement its industry-led character, with the company bringing manufacturing expertise while NAMTECH supports curriculum and faculty work.
