PAIMANA Portal Tracks 1,941 Infrastructure Projects worth ₹41.50 lakh crore as of March 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 cumulative expenditure incurred on these projects stands at ₹19.93 lakh crore, accounting for approximately 48.02 per cent of the revised project cost, indicating steady progress in project implementation.
  • A significant proportion of projects are at advanced stages, with 777 projects (~40%) achieving over 80% physical progress, while 261 (~13%) have crossed 80% financial completion. The data also reflects a balanced pipeline, with projects distributed across early and advanced stages of implementation.

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 cost (₹22.66 lakh crore) across 1,428 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 (₹10.79 lakh crore) across 212 projects, reflecting sustained emphasis on Oil & Gas infrastructure, electricity generation, transmission and distribution networks, and energy storage systems.
  • Communication infrastructure, with a revised cost of ₹2.73 lakh crore (7%) across 12 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.
