Government Launches Infrastructure Performance Dashboard

22 Apr 2026 CW Team

The new framework is designed to strengthen data-driven governance and advance evidence-based policymaking by broadening assessment beyond simple output measures. Performance will be evaluated across five dimensions: access, quality, fiscal cost and revenue, utilisation, and affordability. By capturing multidimensional indicators the dashboard seeks to present a fuller picture of infrastructure outcomes and resource implications, enabling analysts and officials to identify areas requiring targeted interventions and to monitor implementation over time.

At present the dashboard carries 116 indicators covering six infrastructure sub-sectors: civil aviation, roads, power, railways, telecommunications, and ports, shipping and waterways. The compilation of indicators brings together operational, financial and service quality metrics to facilitate comparative assessment and trend analysis. Integration of these measures into a single interface is intended to support inter-ministerial coordination and to make performance information more accessible to planners and fiscal managers.

MoSPI framed the dashboard as a significant step in strengthening infrastructure monitoring and reinforcing accountability for central projects. The operationalisation of PAIMANA is presented as a replacement for older monitoring systems and as a means to harmonise data flows across ministries. Officials will be able to use the dashboard to prioritise interventions, assess fiscal implications and track utilisation patterns, while policy teams can draw on the consolidated evidence base to design targeted reforms.

The central government has launched an integrated Performance Monitoring Dashboard to track infrastructure performance across key sub-sectors, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation said on 14 April. The ministry noted that it operationalised Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-building (PAIMANA) on 25 September 2025 to provide mandated monitoring of central sector infrastructure projects, replacing the erstwhile OCMS-2006. The dashboard is presented as a consolidation of monitoring tools under a single framework to support oversight of large projects.
