The Union Cabinet has cleared the Integrated Transport & Logistics Authority (ITLA), to be formed as an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) for integrated planning. As the national apex body, ITLA will handle planning, research, appraisal and monitoring of projects, data analytics and policy support. It is tasked with drafting a National Transport Master Plan looking at least 10 years ahead, taking in railways, roads, aviation, ports, shipping, urban mobility and inland waterways. It will technically vet and track big Central infrastructure projects of ₹500 crore and above. It will also build a National Transport Data Repository (NTDR) fed by FASTag, Vahan, GSTN e-way bills, GPS and city traffic systems.
