**Executive Summary**
The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) utilizes the PAIMANA portal to monitor Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing ₹150 crore and above. As of January 2026, the system tracks 1,702 ongoing projects to facilitate evidence-based monitoring and timely execution through automated data integration. Key oversight mechanisms include monthly review meetings, PRAGATI sessions, and a 5-tier escalation framework managed by the Project Monitoring Group.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **PAIMANA Portal Functionality**
* Serves as a web-based monitoring and analytics system for nationwide infrastructure projects implemented by 17 Central Ministries.
* Adheres to the “One Data One Entry” principle by integrating with the DPIIT’s Integrated Project Monitoring Portal (IPMP) via APIs.
* Automates data fetching for approximately 64% of projects in the Road Transport, Petroleum & Natural Gas, and Coal sectors, significantly reducing manual entry.
* **Monitoring and Reporting**
* Provides project-wise details and "Flash Reports" accessible via a public web portal, including specific data for states such as Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, and Karnataka.
* Supplies customized dashboards and login credentials to Line Ministries for direct access to real-time project progress.
* Utilizes data analytics to apprise stakeholders of execution status and potential slippages.
* **Institutional Frameworks for Delay Mitigation**
* **PRAGATI:** Periodic project reviews conducted via video conferencing chaired by the Prime Minister to resolve complex issues.
* **Project Monitoring Group (PMG):** An institutional mechanism under DPIIT for milestone-based monitoring of projects with investments of ₹500 crore and above.
* **Escalation Framework:** A unique 5-tier system ensures issues are addressed at the appropriate level, starting from the respective Ministry and escalating to PRAGATI if necessary to prevent duplication of effort.
**Impact Analysis**
**Infrastructure Line Ministries/Departments**

They receive enhanced visibility into project execution and slippages through data analytics and customized dashboards. The integration of portals reduces the manual reporting workload for their project implementing agencies.
**Action Required**
Ministries must use their login credentials to review progress on dashboards and undertake necessary interventions to manage project execution and address slippages.
**Project Monitoring Group (PMG) / DPIIT**
**Impact**
The group is empowered to fast-track approvals and clearances for high-value projects (₹500 crore+) through inter-ministerial and state-level coordination.
**Action Required**
Conduct regular review meetings for projects facing delays and apply the 5-tier escalation framework to resolve issues at the appropriate administrative level.
**Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI)**
**Impact**
MoSPI fulfills its mandate to monitor large-scale central sector projects using automated, evidence-based tools.

PAIMANA PORTAL AND MANAGEMENT OF
MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Posted On: 25 MAR 2026 1:11PM by PIB Delhi
The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is mandated to monitor the status of
Ongoing Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing Rs. 150 crore & above, and the same is being
undertaken through a new web monitoring system called PAIMANA (Project Assessment Infrastructure
Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-Building).
As of January 2026, PAIMANA captured the status of 1,702 nationwide ongoing projects being
implemented by 17 Central Ministries/Departments with original cost of ₹33.71 lakh crore and cumulative
expenditure of ₹20.01 lakh crore. The details of these projects may be seen in the flash report available at
https://ipm.mospi.gov.in/.
Accordingly, the project-wise details of all ongoing infrastructure projects and those pertaining to States of
Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir and Karnataka are available in the Flash Report published by
this Ministry on the website https://ipm.mospi.gov.in/ReportPage.
In line with the principle of “One Data One Entry", the PAIMANA portal is integrated with Integrated
Project Monitoring Portal (IPMP) of Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) via
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enabled to automatically fetch data reported by the Central
Ministries/ Departments/ Project Implementing Agencies. The integrated platform, PAIMANA, has
substantially reduced manual entry, with about 64 per cent of projects pertaining to Ministry of Road,
Transport & Highways, Petroleum & Natural Gas and Coal, being updated automatically.
All stakeholders (Infrastructure Line Ministries/ Departments) are also regularly being apprised of their
project execution and slippages on the basis of data analytics available on PAIMANA, for any required
intervention in managing the project execution at their end. Further, regular coordination with
stakeholders through monthly review meetings and other communications contribute to the evidence-
based monitoring. In addition to, the login credentials providing access to the customized dashboards are
already shared with all Line Ministries/ Departments, thereby giving them direct access to the portal for
review of the project progress.
Other major steps taken by the Government of India to mitigate the delays and expedite the infrastructure
projects include the Periodic review of projects under PRAGATI meetings through video conferencing by
Hon’ble Prime Minister, and rigorous project appraisal.
Furthermore, the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) of the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade (DPIIT) is an institutional mechanism set up with the objective of milestone-based
monitoring of projects and for expediting issue resolution and fast-tracking of approvals/ clearances for
projects with an anticipated investment of Rs. 500 cr. and above through inter-Ministerial/State
coordination. Apart from PRAGATI meetings chaired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, PMG conducts
regular review meetings of projects facing delays/issues at the level of DPIIT, and Cabinet Secretariat. For
these reviews to be effective, PMG has implemented a unique 5-tier Escalation framework that ensuresissues are addressed at the appropriate level, beginning with the respective Ministry for regular issues and
escalating up to PRAGATI for complex issues. This approach streamlines the review mechanism, prevents
duplication, and enables higher authorities to focus on critical issues that require their intervention.
This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Statistics and
Programme Implementation, Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Planning and
Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture Rao Inderjit Singh in the Lok Sabha today.
