The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has strengthened oversight of large-scale infrastructure development through its PAIMANA platform, currently monitoring 1,941 central sector projects valued at Rs 41.50 lakh crore as of March. This digital monitoring system aims to enhance transparency, facilitate timely reviews, and support data-driven decision-making across ministries. The projects, under 17 central ministries and departments, have seen a cumulative expenditure of Rs 19.93 lakh crore, representing around 48.02% of the total revised cost.
A significant number of projects are progressing steadily towards completion, with a notable portion already in advanced stages. Approximately 40% of the monitored projects have achieved over 80% physical progress, while 261 projects have surpassed the 80% mark in financial completion. The pipeline remains balanced, with new infrastructure initiatives being rolled out alongside projects nearing completion, indicating a continuous development process.
India’s infrastructure landscape is predominantly influenced by the transport and logistics sector, with 1,428 projects amounting to a revised cost of Rs 22.66 lakh crore. This underscores the government’s focus on connectivity-driven growth, encompassing roads, railways, aviation, and waterways.
