MOT Committee of Supply 2026 — AI-Enabled Infrastructure & Cross-Border Smart Factories
2026-03-04 · Parliament 15
The MOT Committee of Supply debate covered two significant AI threads.

Second, an MP proposed a bolder vision: under the Sijori framework, the National AI Mission can act as a "force multiplier", enabling cross-border smart factories, multimodal logistics optimisation, embedded trade finance, and stronger regional medical/bio-manufacturing supply chains — turning infrastructure expansion into a coordinated, AI-powered economic engine.
