PAIMANA Portal Tracks 1,948 Infrastructure Projects worth ₹41.98 lakh crore as of February 2026

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.

  • Physical and financial progress broadly move in tandem, with a large number of projects clustered at the initial (0–20%) and advanced (81–100%) stages, indicating a pipeline of newly-started projects alongside many nearing completions. While physical progress exceeds financial progress in the 81–100% range, financial progress is relatively higher in the early stages, reflecting upfront expenditure patterns in project implementation.

(Refer Annexure I)

3.   Sector-wise (as per DEA’s Harmonized Master List of Infrastructure) Progress of Infrastructure Projects

  • Transport & Logistics remains the dominant sector, accounting for 55% of total revised project cost (₹22.96 lakh crore) across 1,421 projects (73 % of the total Projects), underscoring the central role of Roads & Highways, Railways, Aviation, Urban Public Transport, Shipping, and Inland Waterways in economic integration and logistics efficiency.
  • The Energy sector follows with 26% of aggregated revised cost (₹10.95 lakh crore) across 220 projects, reflecting sustained emphasis on Oil & Gas infrastructure, electricity generation, transmission and distribution networks, and energy storage systems.
  • Communication infrastructure, with a project cost of ₹2.74 lakh crore (7%) across 14 projects, represents targeted interventions aimed at strengthening digital connectivity.
  • Water & Sanitation projects account for ₹2.31 lakh crore (5%) across 71 projects, highlighting continued focus on essential urban services.
  • Social & Commercial infrastructure, comprising 74 projects with a revised project cost of ₹0.79 lakh crore (2%), reflects selective investments in education, healthcare, real estate, and tourism, hospitality and wellness.
