Oct-14-2025

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has launched PM GatiShakti - Offshore, a digital platform developed for the integrated planning and management of offshore projects like wind farms, marine resource exploration, and coastal infrastructure development. The platform provides a unified geospatial interface that consolidates critical data sets from multiple government ministries and departments to enable data-driven decision-making. DPIIT said that the initiative aims to strengthen India's Blue economy and support the nation's transition toward green energy and sustainable coastal growth.

DPIIT highlighted that the portal would have detailed data sets on offshore wind, solar, tidal, wave, and ocean thermal energy potential; oil and gas fields and pipelines; bathymetry and sedimentary basins; coastal regulation zones; coral reefs, mangroves, and marine mammal areas; ports, airports, power infrastructure, and fish landing centers; along with oceanographic and hazard indicators, such as surface currents, wave heights, and earthquake risk zones. 

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has launched the Logistics Excellence, Advancement, and Performance Shield (LEAPS) 2025. LEAPS is a flagship initiative of the department, and it aims to benchmark logistics excellence, strengthen India's competitiveness, and align with the vision of the National Logistics Policy (NLP) and PM GatiShakti. In this regards, applications are invited across 13 categories, including air and road freight service providers; multimodal transport operators; warehouse service providers (agriculture); education institute promoting the logistics sector; and logistics service delivery for e-commerce operations.
