It provides information on 62 mega projects (each costing Rs.1,000 crore and above), 399 major projects (each costing between Rs.100 crore and Rs. 1000 crore ) and 376 medium projects (each costing between Rs.20 crore and Rs. 100 crore). The anticipated cost of these 837 projects is Rs. 3,69,499 crore. The total expenditure till 30.06.2006 was Rs.1,33,549 crore, which is about 36.14% of the total estimated cost. Against an approved outlay of Rs.23,527 crore for the year 2006-07, the expenditure up to the end of the 1st quarter is Rs.9,347 crore. Major and Mega projects account for about 55.07% of the total number of projects and about 94.72% of the total anticipated cost. At the beginning of the year 2006-07, 182 projects were scheduled for completion during the year. 72 projects which are scheduled for completion by March, 2007 were added. Out of the 254 projects due for completion during the year, only 22 projects have been completed and 51 projects have been partially completed. Part I of the Report gives an overview of implementation of projects during the quarter. Part II gives a sectoral analysis and the status of individual projects. 2. Out of a total of 837 projects on our monitor, the approved completion schedules or anticipated Dates of Completion (DOC) have not been indicated in respect of 249 projects. The major chunk of these projects i.e. 198 are in the Railways sector. Sector-wise details of the projects showing status w.r.t original and latest schedules, for the quarter ending June, 2006 is given below:- Sector wise Implementation Status of Projects with reference to original and latest schedule (Number of Projects) Sector Ahead On Schedule Delayed Without DOC Original Latest Original Latest Original Latest Original Latest ATOMIC ENERGY 2 2 3 3 2 2 3 3 CIVIL AVIATION 0 0 12 12 11 11 2 2 COAL 0 0 60 70 33 23 11 11 FERTILISERS 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 I & B 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 MINES 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 STEEL 0 0 14 14 10 10 0 0 PETROLEUM 1 1 12 12 18 18 3 3 POWER 4 4 34 34 27 27 0 0 HEALTH & FW 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 RAILWAYS 0 0 58 60 23 21 198 198 ROAD TRANSPORT & HIGHWAYS 1 1 94 94 86 86 4 4 SHIPPING & PORTS 1 1 10 10 20 20 7 7 TELECOMMUNICATION 0 0 2 2 24 24 17 17 URBAN DEVELOPMENT 0 0 9 9 12 12 3 3 WATER RESOURCES 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 Total 9 9 310 322 269 257 249 249 3. Time and cost overruns have been a major problem affecting the central sector projects. The analysis shows that 269 delayed projects have accounted for a cost over run of Rs. 32,449 crore i.e. 30.94% during the April-June, 2006 quarter. 4. The Chart below depicts the number of projects on schedule with respect to the original approved schedule. Projects on schedule with reference to original schedule 900 837 800 742 700 674 600 568 540 Total Project 469 462 500 458 454 418 414 projects on 401 371 400 370 schedule 300 310 245 No. of projects 200 185 152 148 148 135 131 123 120 119 112 108 100 88 0 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Years June;2006 5. There has been a continuous decline in the extent of time and cost overruns which can be attributed to closer monitoring and system improvements by the Ministries concerned, with the active support of this Ministry. An analysis of cost overruns in the last 15 years with respect to the originally approved cost shows that the cost overrun has declined from 61.6% in March, 1991 to 15.6% in June, 2006 resulting in substantial savings. The chart below gives the trend of cost overrun (with reference to originally approved cost). Trend of Cost Overrun 70 61.6 55.8 56.8 57.5 60 53.9 51.4 46.9 50 45 40.9 37.3 36 36 40 26 30 22.3 22.4 17.7 17.4 20 15.58 % of cost overrun cost of % 10 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 June,2006 Years 6. While the cost overruns due to general inflation cannot be avoided, the escalation on account of delays can be minimized. The institution of Standing Committees in each Ministry to review the time and cost overruns in projects and to fix responsibility, therefore, has to be made more effective. Introduction of a system of furnishing an action taken report on the recommendations of these Committees is necessary. It is proposed that the report of the Standing Committee be appended with the main note for approval of revised cost estimates by the PIB/CCEA. It is hoped that through focused attention and constant monitoring by the administrative Ministries/Departments, the declining trend in time and cost overruns in project implementation can be accelerated.
