The Performance Monitoring Dashboard, launched on 16 Apr 2026, now tracks 165 indicators across six sub‑sectors (Power, Civil Aviation, Telecommunications, Railways, Roads, Ports‑Shipping‑Waterways). As of June 2026, 1,847 projects (₹40.54 lakh crore) are monitored, with 54 % financial spend and 39 % projects over 80 % physical progress.
