PAIMANA Tracks 1,941 Central Sector Projects Worth Rs 41.50 Trillion

A substantial number of projects are at advanced stages, with 777 projects exceeding 80 per cent physical progress and 261 projects exceeding 80 per cent financial completion. Many projects cluster at both initial and advanced stages, indicating a mix of newly started works and projects nearing completion. Financial progress tends to be higher in early stages due to upfront expenditure patterns.
