PAIMANA-PROJ Strengthens Project Monitoring
MoSPI said its PAIMANA-PROJ platform is being used to strengthen monitoring, facilitate timely reviews and support data-driven decision-making across ministries.
The project monitoring interface was earlier known as PAIMANA. Its underlying data repository, PAIMANA-CRIP (Central Repository of Infrastructure Projects), was launched by MoSPI in July 2026.
According to the ministry, nearly 80% of the data is updated through APIs on the PAIMANA-CRIP platform.
What the Progress Data Shows
The July report shows that infrastructure projects are spread across both early and advanced implementation stages. 675 projects have crossed 80% physical progress, while 305 have crossed 80% financial completion.
The report also notes differences between physical and financial progress at various stages. In projects at the 81–100% physical progress range, physical progress is higher than financial progress, while financial progress is relatively higher during the early stages.
