Yes. This is true. Grades of AMIE Lab/Project work will not be included in this GPA calculation. See AMIE GPA/CGPA calculation and percentage conversion method.

What is the impact of grade "D" in projec/lab work?

As for role of grade "D" in project work/lab experiment, read following examples carefully:

Example: I have got grade "D" in one subject in just concluded AMIE exam of section B. I have passed all other subjects with total GPA more than 6. My lab is submitted but project is not submitted. Should I appear in the subject in which I got grade "D"?

No. Grades of AMIE Project work and Lab experiments are considered in CGPA (not in GPA). So if your project/lab is not submitted and you got grade D in latest attempt (provided GPA is over 6), you need not appear in any subject. just wait till your project/lab is submitted (both internal and external) so that CGPA can be awarded. Afterwards, you will be declared pass.
