India's mega infrastructure spend crosses Rs 21.97 lakh crore

The Indian government is building many big things like roads, trains, airports, and power lines.

It has a huge budget for these projects.

So far, it has spent more than half of that money.

There are over 1,800 projects happening right now, and many of them are almost finished.

The largest area of spending is transport, which helps people and goods move from one place to another.

The government uses a special computer system to keep track of how the work is going.

This system also measures how well infrastructure like power and railways is performing.

Seeing how much money is spent helps the government know if the projects are on track.

These projects are important because they help the economy grow and create more jobs.

Better roads and railways also make everyday travel easier for people.
