Flash Report on Central Sector Infrastructure Projects worth Rs 150 crore and above
25th February 2026
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has operationalised a new web-based portal, PAIMANA (Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring & Analytics for Nation-building), for the mandated monitoring of Central Sector Infrastructure Projects worth Rs 150 crore and above, replacing the erstwhile OCMS-2006 (Online Computerized Monitoring system)
In line with the principle of “one data, one entry”, PAIMANA is integrated with DPIIT’s Integrated Project Monitoring Portal (IPMP/IIG-PMG) through APIs, enabling automatic data flow of the information reported by Central Ministries/ Departments on IPMP. This integration has substantially reduced manual data entry, with about 60 per cent of projects on PAIMANA being updated automatically, contributing towards the standardised, and efficient infrastructure project monitoring by the Government of India
The PAIMANA portal functions as a centralised national repository of infrastructure projects, enabling web-generated analytical reports and enhancing data accuracy, and operational efficiency. Key features of the portal include advanced data analytics, role-based user access, interactive dashboards, reporting and query modules, and review cases for identification of data gaps, thereby supporting improved data quality and informed decision-making
The operationalisation of PAIMANA has been undertaken in extensive coordination with over 20 Central Ministries/Departments, DEA and DPIIT, encapsulating project mapping, data migration, analytics and validation
Following the adoption of the portal, a comprehensive data sanitization exercise of the IPMP database is underway, along with continuous efforts to onboard more stakeholders and, include both legacy and newly sanctioned projects. At present, 1702 ongoing infrastructure projects have been onboarded on the PIAMANA portal, with further onboarding of stakeholders and projects underway
Key Highlights
- As of January 2026, 1702 ongoing infrastructure projects, with a revised cost of Rs 39.25 lakh crore, are reported on the PAIMANA portal across 17 Central Ministries/Departments. During the month, 3 projects were commissioned and, 203 additional projects were brought under the monitoring of PAIMANA
- The cumulative expenditure incurred on these projects up to January 2026 stands at Rs 20.02 lakh crore
- Out of 1,702 ongoing infrastructure projects, 645 (~38%) have achieved over 80% physical progress, while 240 (~14%) have crossed 80% financial completion, reflecting that a substantial portion of projects are at an advanced stage of implementation
- The Transport & Logistics sector (as per the DEA’s Harmonized Master List) accounts for the highest number of ongoing projects (1180 projects), with revised estimates of Rs 20.65 lakh crore underscoring priority to connectivity-driven infrastructure growth
- 1,702 ongoing infrastructure projects include 695 Mega projects (project cost of Rs 1,000 crore & above) with a revised cost of Rs 29 lakh crore, and 1,007 Major projects (project cost below Rs 1,000 crore and up to Rs 150 crore) amounting to Rs 4.72 lakh crore
- 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
