## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  STATISTICS  AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE

MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS [SHRI VIJAY GOEL]

- (a) and (b) 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, on  the  basis  of  information  provided  by  the  project  implementing agencies on the On-line Computerized Monitoring System (OCMS) of
- this  Ministry.  As  on  01.04.2018,  a  total  of  38  projects  of  power sector  are  showing  both  delay  in  completion  and  consequent  cost overruns.  Total  original  cost  of  implementation  of  these  projects was Rs. 1,49,564.80 crore and their anticipated completion cost is likely  to  be    Rs.  1,96,155.21  crore,  which  reflects  overall  cost overruns of  Rs 46,590.41 crore (31.15%).
- (c) and  (d) As  on  01.04.2018,  a  total  of  389  mega  projects (costing  Rs.  1000  crore  and  above)  including  rail  and  road  sectors were  on  the  monitor  of  this  Ministry.  Out  of  these,  the  cost  of  59 projects has increased by Rs. 1,36,790.58 crore due to delay in their completion.  The  details  of  such  Projects  including  rail  and  road sectors are at Annexure.
- (e) The OCMS portal of this Ministry (www.cspm.gov.in) maintains information  in  respect  of  on-going  Central  Sector  Infrastructure Projects only.
- (f) The  major  steps  taken  to  ensure  completion  of  on-going Central Sector Infrastructure Projects without time and cost overruns include:
- (i) Project appraisal by respective Ministries;
- (ii) On-line Computerized Monitoring System (OCMS);
- (iii) Setting up of Revised Cost Committees in the Ministries for fixation of responsibility for time and cost overruns;
- (iv) Regular review of infrastructure projects by the concerned administrative Ministries; and
- (v) Setting up of Central Sector Projects Coordination Committees  (CSPCCs)  in  the  concerned  States  under  the chairmanship of Chief Secretaries for removal of bottlenecks and facilitating speedy implementation of major projects.
