Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation

The Indian government has faced a massive cost overrun of Rs 4.46 lakh crore in 335 infrastructure projects, as reported by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. The ministry monitors projects above Rs 150 crore, and as many as 335 projects have been flagged for delays and cost overruns. The additional spending has cost the exchequer a significant amount and raises concerns about India's infrastructure development plans.
