## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION [SHRI D.V. SADANANDA GOWDA]

(a) to (c): Government through the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation monitors on-going central sector infrastructure  projects  costing  Rs.  150  crore  and  above  on  time  and cost  overruns  through  its  online  computerization  monitoring  system (OCMS) on the basis of information provided by the project implementation agencies.

As  on  30 th   September  2016,  1174  projects  costing  Rs.  150  crore  and above were on the monitor of this ministry. Of these 1174 projects, 333 projects  were  delayed  with  respect  to  their  original  schedules.  The reasons  for  delay  are  Project-specific.  However,  as  reported  by  the project  implementing  agencies,  the  main  reasons  for  delay  in  timely completion  of  the  Projects  are  law  and  order  problems,  delay  in  land acquisition, delay in environment and forest clearances, fund constraints, rehabilitation and resettlement issues, local body / municipal  permissions,  utility  shifting,  contractual  issues,  etc.  The details of delayed projects is at Annexure-I. There are 84 projects showing cost overruns accompanied with delays with  respect  to  their  original  schedules.  The  original  cost  of  the  84 projects was  Rs. 1,12,623.98 crore and anticipated cost is Rs. 2,27,149.87  crore  implying  a    cost  overrun  of  Rs.  1,14,525.89  crore (101.67%). The details are at  Annexure-II.
