(SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

- (a) & (b): Under the Smart Cities Mission, 30 more cities have been selected in June 2017 in Round 3. The list of these cities
- is enclosed at Annexure-I.

The  Central  Government  provides  financial  support  of Rs. 500 crores to each selected Smart City under Smart Cities  Mission.  An  equal  amount,  on  a  matching  basis, has to be provided by the State/Urban Local Body (ULB).

- (c): The  target  date  of  completion  is  given  by  the  cities  in their Smart City Proposals (SCPs), which are available on the Mission's website (www.smartcities.gov.in).
- (d): Atal  Mission for  Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) was launched on 25 th  June 2015 with focus of water supply, sewerage and septage management, storm water drainage, parks and green space and non motorized  urban  transport  in  500  Mission  cities.  Under the Mission, the Government only approves State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) and releases central assistance as per  the  Mission  guidelines.  Total  allocation  for  Tamil Nadu  under  AMRUT  Mission  is  Rs.  11,194.78  crores, which  includes  a  Central  Assistance  of  Rs.  4,756.58 crores.  The  Government  has  so  far  released  central assistance  of      Rs.  994.34  crores  to  the  State  of  Tamil Nadu and the State Government has submitted Utilisation Certificates for Rs. 282.48 crores against its releases.

In terms of Smart Cities Mission Statement and Guidelines,  the  Central  Government  provides  financial support  of  Rs.  500  crores  to  each  selected  Smart  City including Smart Cities from Tamil Nadu. An equal amount, on a matching basis, has to be provided by the State/Urban Local Body (ULB). So far, Ministry of Housing and  Urban  Affairs  has  released  Rs.  848  crores  to  State Government of Tamil Nadu for Smart Cities.

Utilization of  the  fund  depends  on  the  date  of  the selection  of  the  Smart  City.  After  selection  it  takes around 15-18 months to call for tenders. As reported by cities, 100 projects worth Rs. 8,289.60 crores have been identified  for  implementation.  Out  of  which,  22  projects worth Rs. 1,005.80 crores have been completed or under implementation;  tendering  has  started  for  15  projects worth Rs. 348.70 crores.
