## 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) Government in 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.  As  on  01.08.2018,  a total of 1361 projects were on the monitor of this Ministry. Of these, 358 projects worth Rs. 3.53 lakh crore are showing cost overruns.
- (b) The details of projects showing cost overruns are available in the flash report of July, 18 at http://www.cspm.gov.in/english/lsmfr.htm.

The causes for cost overruns are project-specific, depend on a variety of technical, financial and administrative factors, and differ from project  to  project.  However,  as  reported  by  the  project  implementing agencies on this Ministry's OCMS, the main reasons for cost overrun of the Projects are: law and order problems, delay in land acquisition, delay in environment and forest clearances, funding constraints, rehabilitation and  resettlement  issues,  local  body  /  municipal  permissions,  utility shifting, contractual issues, etc.

- (c) The  State  and  year-wise  details  of  funds  released  and  utilized  on infrastructure projects worth Rs. 150 crore and above from 2014 to 2018 are  at  Annexure-I,  II,  III  and  IV.  State  wise  and  year  wise  details  of allocation of funds is not held with the Ministry.
- (d) The  major  steps  undertaken  to  ensure  completion  of  Central  Sector Infrastructure Projects without time and cost overruns include; Periodic review  of  projects  under  PRAGATI  through  video  conferencing  by Hon'ble Prime Minister; rigorous project appraisal; On-line Computerized Monitoring System (OCMS) for better monitoring; setting up of Revised Cost Committees in the Ministries for fixation of responsibility for time and  cost  overruns;  regular  review  of  infrastructure  projects  by  the concerned  administrative  Ministries;  and  setting  up  of  Central  Sector Projects  Coordination  Committees  (CSPCCs)  in  the  States  under  the Chief  Secretaries  for  removal  of  bottlenecks  and  for  facilitating  the speedy implementation of major projects.
