MoSPI Launches PAIMANA Portal to Track ₹39 Lakh Cr Infra Push

The dominance of roads, railways, aviation and logistics infrastructure underscores the government’s focus on connectivity-led economic growth.

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has operationalised a new web-based portal — PAIMANA (Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring & Analytics for Nation-building) — to monitor Central Sector Infrastructure Projects worth ₹150 crore and above, replacing the legacy OCMS-2006 system.

Integrated with DPIIT’s Integrated Project Monitoring Portal (IPMP/IIG-PMG) through APIs, PAIMANA operationalises the principle of “one data, one entry”, enabling automatic data flow from ministries and reducing duplication. Currently, nearly 60% of projects are updated automatically, marking a significant step toward standardised, data-driven infrastructure governance.

1,702 Projects Worth ₹39.25 Lakh Crore Under Monitoring

As per MoSPI’s Flash Report for January 2026:

• 1,702 ongoing infrastructure projects are onboarded

• Revised total project cost: ₹39.25 lakh crore

• Cumulative expenditure: ₹20.02 lakh crore (51.01% of revised cost)

• 203 new projects added in January

• 3 major projects commissioned during the month

Of the 1,702 projects:

• 645 projects (38%) have crossed 80% physical progress

• 240 projects (14%) have crossed 80% financial completion

The data indicates a dual pipeline — newly initiated projects (0–20% stage) and a large number nearing completion (81–100%).

Transport & Logistics Dominates Infrastructure Pipeline

Sector-wise analysis shows:

• Transport & Logistics: 1,180 projects (69%)

  • ₹20.65 lakh crore (53% of total revised cost)

The dominance of roads, railways, aviation and logistics infrastructure underscores the government’s focus on connectivity-led economic growth.

Data-Driven Infrastructure Governance

PAIMANA functions as a centralised national repository, offering:

• Web-generated analytical reports

• Interactive dashboards

• Role-based user access

• Data validation and review modules

• Advanced analytics for decision-making

MoSPI is simultaneously undertaking a comprehensive data sanitisation exercise and onboarding legacy and newly sanctioned projects.

The next Flash Report (February 2026) will be released on March 25, 2026.

With ₹39 lakh crore worth of projects under real-time digital monitoring, PAIMANA marks a shift toward integrated, transparent and analytics-driven infrastructure oversight in India.
