25 Mar 2026 CW Team

In line with the principle of One Data One Entry PAIMANA has been integrated with the Integrated Project Monitoring Portal of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) via application programming interfaces to fetch data automatically from ministries and project implementing agencies. The platform has reduced manual entry with about 64 per cent of projects, mainly within the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Petroleum and Natural Gas and Coal, being updated automatically. Customised dashboards provide evidence based analytics to support monitoring and intervention.

Infrastructure line ministries and departments receive regular briefings on project execution and slippages based on analytics available on PAIMANA and have been given login credentials for direct review and action. Monthly review meetings and communications support coordination and resolution of routine issues while rigorous appraisal practices aim to expedite sanctioning and implementation. Periodic PRAGATI reviews chaired by the Prime Minister continue to provide high level oversight for critical projects.

The Project Monitoring Group (PMG) of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade provides milestone based monitoring and expedites approvals and clearances for projects with an anticipated investment of Rs. 5 billion (bn) and above through inter ministerial and state coordination. PMG conducts regular reviews of delayed projects at DPIIT and the Cabinet Secretariat and has implemented a five tier escalation framework that begins with the respective ministry and escalates to PRAGATI for complex issues. The minister provided the information in the Rajya Sabha.

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is mandated to monitor ongoing central sector infrastructure projects costing Rs. 1.5 billion (bn) and above through PAIMANA, the Project Assessment Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-Building portal. As of January 2026 PAIMANA captures the status of 1,702 projects being implemented by 17 central ministries and departments with an original cost of Rs. 33.71 trillion (tn) and cumulative expenditure of Rs. 20.01 trillion (tn). The flash report is available on the Integrated Project Monitoring platform for authorised users.
