## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR)

(a) to (h): NIP is a first-of-its-kind, whole-of-government exercise. For this purpose, a Task Force was constituted by the Hon'ble Finance Minister on 06.09.2019 which submitted its Report on 29 th April 2020. This Task Force Report includes details of NIP projects, Ministry wise total project cost, annual target, etc. and is available in the public domain at:

The NIP is not a static  pipeline but  a  dynamic  pipeline of  infrastructure  projects  in  which projects  and  its  details  can  be  amended,  added  or  deleted  as  per  requirement  of  central ministries/departments/state  governments,  etc.  NIP  started  with  6,835  projects  and  now increased  to  7671  projects  as  on  17.03.2021.  NIP  projects  with  details  including  project completion status are in the public domain at  https://indiainvestmentgrid.gov.in/home which is updated by the concerned central ministries/departments/state governments, etc.

NIP  is  not  a  scheme  and  therefore  it  is  not  having  any  project  centric  provision  and mechanism for any fund or disbursal of any fund. The projects included in the NIP have been primarily proposed by concerned project authorities of Central Ministries/State Govts and it is  for  them  to  fund  these  projects  through  their  budgetary/extra  budgetary  resources, innovative financing including selection of mode of implementation of the project whether EPC/PPP, etc.
