Imagine a never-blinking digital eye monitoring 1,702 massive construction projects across India. That is precisely what the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) accomplished with the launch of the PAIMANA portal. This is not just another government website; it is a high-tech command center designed to ensure the wise and efficient spending of nearly ₹39.25 lakh crore in public money.
The name itself has weight. PAIMANA stands for Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring, and Analytics for Nation Building. By replacing the ageing OCMS-2006 system, MoSPI is ushering in a more transparent, data-driven era of governance. In a country where “delay” was once the middle name of infrastructure, this portal seeks to make “on-time” the new standard.

The Scale of the Mission
The numbers are nothing short of staggering. MoSPI is currently tracking 1,702 central sector infrastructure projects worth ₹150 crore or more. The total revised cost of these projects has reached ₹39.25 lakh crore.
This portfolio is divided into two high-impact categories. There are 695 mega projects that cost ₹1,000 crore or more. There are 1,007 major projects, ranging from ₹150 crore to ₹1,000 crore. Whether it’s a new metro line in a bustling city or a massive power plant in a remote corner, PAIMANA brings everything under one digital roof.
Smart Integration: “One Data, One Entry”
One of the most impressive features MoSPI has implemented is the “one data, one entry” principle. PAIMANA connects directly to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and its Integrated Project Monitoring Portal via advanced APIs.
What does this imply for the average citizen? This means less paperwork and fewer human errors. Approximately 60% of projects on the portal now update their status automatically. When a ministry updates its data, it is seamlessly integrated into PAIMANA. This reduces duplication and ensures that MoSPI’s analytics are based on the most accurate, real-time data available.
A Look at the Progress
Is the work actually being done? The data says yes. As of early 2026, the total expenditure on these projects has reached ₹20.02 lakh crore. This represents approximately 51% of the total revised cost, indicating that half of the financial journey has already been completed.
Even more encouraging is the physical development. Out of 1,702 projects, 645 have reached the 80% physical completion mark. This means that a large number of new roads, bridges, and power lines are about to be handed over to the public. However, only 240 projects have reached the same level of financial completion, emphasising the delicate balance between physical labour and final payments.
The Sectors Leading the Charge
If you want to know where India is investing the most, look no further than Transportation and Logistics. This sector is the undisputed heavyweight, accounting for 1,180 projects worth ₹20.65 lakh crore.
The energy sector is the second-largest player, with 218 projects worth ₹10.84 lakh crore. These two sectors form the foundation of India’s economic strategy, with a focus on connectivity and power to propel industrial growth. Other critical areas, such as communication, water and sanitation, and social infrastructure, are prominently displayed on the dashboard.
Recent Wins and New Additions
The portal is more than just static data; it also serves as a living record of growth. In January 2026, three major projects were commissioned, including the 9,000 crore Third Railway Line between Patratu and Sonnagar.
In that same month, 203 new projects were added to the portal. These include high-profile projects such as the Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project and the expansion of Delhi Metro. With MoSPI’s PAIMANA portal now fully operational, each of these new initiatives will be closely monitored, ensuring that India’s dream of development remains on track.
