ANSWER
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]
(a) The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is mandated to monitor
the status of Ongoing Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing Rs. 150 crore and above.
MoSPI has developed a new web monitoring system called PAIMANA (Project Assessment
Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-Building) which was officially launched
on 25th September, 2025; replacing the erstwhile OCMS-2006 (Online Computerized
Monitoring System). In line with the principle of “One Data One Entry", the PAIMANA
portal is integrated with Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)
IPMP (Integrated Project Monitoring Portal) via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
enabled to automatically fetch data reported by the Central Ministries/ Departments/ Project
Implementing Agencies.
Accordingly, the web-generated flash report via the PAIMANA portal is being published
from July 2025 onwards and are available at https://ipm.mospi.gov.in/ReportPage.(b) to (d) As of December 2025, the infrastructure central sector projects (having any Central
support or under the monitoring of Central Ministries/Departments) with a project cost of Rs.
150 crore & above are spread over 17 Ministries/ Departments. These include the Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways; Ministry of Power; Ministry of Civil Aviation; Ministry of
Petroleum & Natural Gas; Department of Telecommunications; Ministry of Coal; Ministry of
Railways; Ministry of Steel; Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga
Rejuvenation; Ministry of Mines; Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs; Ministry of Ports,
Shipping and Waterways; Department of Higher Education; Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare; and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. Additionally, the
Department of Sports and the Ministry of Labour & Employment have been onboarded
recently.
As of December 2025, PAIMANA captures the status of 1,392 nationwide projects being
implemented by 17 Central Ministries/Departments with original cost of ₹29.68 lakh crore
and cumulative expenditure of ₹19.01 lakh crore. The Line
Ministries/Departments/Implementing Agencies regularly update the progress status of the
projects on IPMP, which flows to PAIMANA via APIs for further analysis and report
generation. This integration has substantially reduced manual entry, with about 60 per cent of
projects pertaining to Ministry of Road, Transport & Highways, Petroleum & Natural Gas
and Coal, being updated automatically on PAIMANA.
The portal serves as a centralized data repository for national infrastructure development and
facilitates one-click, web-generated analytical reports, contributing to data accuracy and
operational efficiency. Further, enhancements are underway to improve upon reports,
simplification of input forms, and advanced analytics for the technology enabled monitoring.
Continuous efforts for onboarding of additional stakeholders and projects is also underway
and is expected to result in a subsequent increase in project volume. Regular coordination
with stakeholders through monthly review meetings and other communications strengthens
evidence-based monitoring.
