To be a dynamic organization for building quality and sustainable infrastructure, efficient transportation services, and built environment for socio-economic well-being and happiness
Following the Royal Government of Bhutan’s Public Service Transformation Initiatives launched in 2022, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MoIT) was established as part of the structural reorganization of government agencies. This transformation aimed to enhance efficiency, streamline mandates, and align public service delivery with the evolving socio-economic needs of the country.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport emerged from the consolidation of functions previously spread across multiple agencies, including the erstwhile Ministry ofWorks and Human Settlement and the Department of Civil Aviation. Under the new structure, MoIT was entrusted with a broader, integrated mandate to lead the planning, development, regulation, and maintenance of critical infrastructure and transport systems in Bhutan.
Since July 2025, our CMS digital platform has automated project tracking. This ensures every Ngultrum spent on infrastructure is accounted for with total transparency and precision.
