Other entities like NHPC Limited, NEEPC, THDC, and Sterlite have also seen two projects commissioned each, alongside a transmission project in Uttar Pradesh.
Broader PRAGATI Impact
The PRAGATI ecosystem oversees a much larger portfolio. Across various monitoring levels, 237 power projects totaling ₹10.53 lakh crore have been reviewed and commissioned. Furthermore, 108 power projects, representing approximately ₹6 lakh crore in investment, are presently under construction and tracked within the PRAGATI framework.
Digital Governance in Action
