Project Monitoring Group (PMG) is an institutional mechanism for expedited resolution of issues and milestone-based monitoring of projects with investments upwards of INR 500 Crores. As of 16th January 2023, 2027 infrastructure projects worth INR 68 lakh crores are enlisted on PMG Portal. Out of these, 338 projects worth INR 18.58 lakh crores have been reviewed by the Prime Minister in the Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation (PRAGATI) review meetings. 

PMG aims to flag and remedy issues impeding the implementation of mega infrastructure projects and to help foster infrastructure that underpins sustainable development, creates direct and indirect jobs, and sustains the vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat.’ PMG facilitates the organization of Review Meetings chaired by the Special Secretary/Joint Secretary, DPIIT, and Review Meetings chaired by the Secretary (Coordination), Cabinet Secretariat. Apart from the periodic reviews held for timely issue resolution, PMG also undertakes site visits to different states to understand on-ground realities from the project implementing agencies. The on-ground information collected through various site visits is factored into the review meetings to accelerate the implementation of these mega-infrastructure projects.
