The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) continues to strengthen monitoring of Central Sector infrastructure projects through its PAIMANA platform, enabling improved tracking, timely reviews, and data-driven decision-making across Ministries. The portal tracks 1,948 Infrastructure Projects worth of ₹41.98 lakh crore as of February 2026.

Key Highlights

• As of February 2026, 1,948 ongoing infrastructure projects, with a total revised cost of ₹41.98 lakh crore, are being monitored across 17 Central Ministries/Departments. The cumulative expenditure incurred on these projects stands at ₹19.71 lakh crore, accounting for approximately 46.95 per cent of the revised project cost, indicating steady progress in project implementation.
• A significant proportion of projects are at advanced stages, with 740 projects (~38%) achieving over 80% physical progress, while 250 (~13%) have crossed 80% financial completion. The data also reflects a balanced pipeline, with projects distributed across early and advanced stages of implementation.
• The Transport & Logistics sector (as per the DEA’s Harmonized Master List) accounts for the highest number of ongoing projects (1421 projects), with revised estimates of ₹22.96 lakh crore underscoring priority to connectivity-driven infrastructure growth.
