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.

Key Highlights

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.
  • The Transport & Logistics sector (as per the DEA’s Harmonized Master List) accounts for the highest number of ongoing projects (1428 projects), with revised estimates of ₹22.66 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.

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.
