During  2016 - 17,  ninety -nine  (99)  on -going  Major/Medium  irrigation  projects  under PMKSY - AIBP , having ultimate irrigation potential of 76.03 lakh ha. and estimated balance cost of Rs.77595 crore have been prioritized in consultation with States, for completion in phas December, 2019 along with their Command Area Development & Water Management (CADWM) works.  Funding  mechanism  through  NABARD  has  been approved  by  the  Government  for  both Central and State share. State - wise details of the prioritized projects are at Annexure.

The main criteria/provisions for funding these projects are as below:

- 20% cost escalation on latest approved estimated cost (AIBP component) of the project as o March 2012 is allowed for which no separate clearance/TAC clearance/Investment clear is required for funding.
- Fast track proforma clearance from CWCmay be sufficient for projects where revised cos may be more than the 20% over and above approved cost as on 01.04.2012 and no separ investment clearance from MoWR, RD & GR is required.
- Cost escalation above 20% is to be borne by the concerned State G overnment.  However, the States can avail the same through NABARD.
