## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION, MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  OF  THE  MINISTRY  OF  PLANNING  AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE [RAO INDERJIT SINGH]

- (a) The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is mandated to monitor the status of Ongoing Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing Rs. 150 crore and above. MoSPI has developed a new web monitoring system called PAIMANA (Project Assessment Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-Building) which was officially  launched  on  25 th   September,  2025;  replacing  the  erstwhile OCMS-2006 (Online Computerized Monitoring System). In line with the principle of 'One Data One Entry", the PAIMANA portal is integrated with Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) IPMP

(Integrated  Project  Monitoring  Portal)  via  Application  Programming Interfaces (APIs) enabled to automatically fetch data reported by the Central Ministries/ Departments/ Project Implementing Agencies.

Accordingly, the web-generated flash report via the PAIMANA portal is being published from July 2025 onwards and are available at https://ipm.mospi.gov.in/ReportPage.

(b) to (d) As of December 2025, the infrastructure central sector projects having any Central support or under the monitoring of Central Ministries/Departments) with a project cost of Rs. 150 crore & above are spread over 17 Ministries/ Departments. These include the Ministry of Road  Transport  and  Highways;  Ministry  of  Power;  Ministry  of  Civil Aviation; Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas; Department of Telecommunications; Ministry of Coal; Ministry of Railways; Ministry of Steel;  Department  of  Water  Resources,  River  Development  &  Ganga Rejuvenation;  Ministry  of  Mines;  Ministry  of  Housing  &  Urban  Affairs; Ministry  of  Ports,  Shipping  and  Waterways;  Department  of  Higher Education; Ministry of Health & Family Welfare; and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. Additionally, the Department of Sports and the Ministry of Labour & Employment have been onboarded recently.

As of December 2025, PAIMANA captures the status of 1,392 nationwide projects being implemented by 17 Central Ministries/Departments with original cost of ₹29.68 lakh crore and cumulative expenditure of ₹19.01 lakh  crore.  The  Line  Ministries/Departments/Implementing  Agencies regularly update the progress status of the projects on IPMP, which flows to  PAIMANA via  APIs  for  further  analysis  and  report  generation.  This integration has substantially reduced manual entry, with about 60 per cent of projects pertaining to Ministry of Road, Transport & Highways, Petroleum  &  Natural  Gas  and  Coal,  being  updated  automatically  on PAIMANA.

The portal serves as a centralized data repository for national infrastructure  development  and  facilitates  one-click,  web-generated analytical reports,  contributing  to  data  accuracy  and  operational efficiency.  Further,  enhancements  are  underway  to  improve  upon reports,  simplification  of  input  forms,  and  advanced  analytics  for  the technology  enabled  monitoring.  Continuous  efforts  for  onboarding  of additional stakeholders and projects are also underway and is expected to result in a subsequent increase in project volume. Regular coordination  with  stakeholders  through  monthly  review  meetings  and other communications strengthens evidence-based monitoring.
