PRAGATI @50: ₹85-lakh cr projects fast-tracked across key sectors
Financial Express Mumbai
|January 03, 2026
PROJECTS WORTH ₹85 LAKH crore, spanning roads, railways, power, airports, and urban infrastructure, were accelerated under the Centre’s flagship PRAGATI platform, underscoring how technology-driven coordination has reshaped India’s project implementation landscape.
As PRAGATI completed 50 review meetings, the mechanism has emerged as a key institutional tool to tackle chronic delays and cost overruns in large public projects, Cabinet Secretary TV Somanathan said.
“The platform is also preventive. We have prevented time and cost overruns in many projects by raising issues promptly before they arise, especially on critical projects,” Somanathan said.
Conceived in 2015 as Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, PRAGATI was designed to address three persistent coordination failures: between central ministries, between the Centre and states, and within the state governments.
