India infrastructure project monitoring and costs

Overview

The Indian government is managing large-scale infrastructure development through various monitoring frameworks. Under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, the government is overseeing 396 mega projects with an estimated investment of ₹18.66 lakh crore. This initiative utilizes a GIS-based digital platform to integrate data across ministries and sectors, such as roads, railways, and energy, to improve multimodal connectivity and reduce planning inefficiencies.

Broader monitoring by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) as of September 2026 shows 1,853 central infrastructure projects under active supervision. These projects have a combined revised cost of Rs 37.56 lakh crore, reflecting a cumulative cost overrun of approximately Rs 3.22 lakh crore from the original estimate of Rs 34.34 lakh crore. The transport and logistics sector remains the largest component of this pipeline, with 1,320 projects valued at Rs 20.07 lakh crore.
