The selection of 100 Smart Cities has been completed through 4 rounds of selection from January, 2016 to June, 2018. A total of 5,151 projects worth  of  Rs.  2,05,018  crore  have  been  proposed  by  the  100  Smart Cities  as  part  of  their  Smart  City  Proposals  (SCPs)  that  are  under various stages of implementation.

As per Smart Cities Mission Statement and Guidelines, the Central Government proposes to  give  financial  support  to  the  extent  of  Rs.  48,000 crore over five years i.e. an average of Rs. 500 crore per city over the Mission period.  An  equal  amount  on  a  matching  basis,  is  to  be  provided  by  the State/Urban Local Bodies. Apart from these, around Rs. 42,028 crore (21%) is expected from convergence with other Missions, Rs. 41,022 crore (21%) from PPP, around Rs. 9,843 crore (4.8%) from loans, Rs. 2,644 crore (1.3%) from own resources and remaining from other sources.

Ten  cities  of  Uttar  Pradesh  i.e.  Lucknow,  Agra,  Kanpur,  Varanasi,  Aligarh, Jhansi,  Prayagraj,  Bareilly,  Moradabad  and  Saharanpur  were  selected  as Smart Cities.   The  details  of  the  Smart  Cities  Proposals,  funds  released  by the Government of India and status of their projects are given in Annexure-I.

- (c) The projects of  Smart  Cities  in  Uttar  Pradesh  are  progressing  well  at par with other Smart Cities. The Smart City proposals of the State of Uttar Pradesh  are  for  Rs.  20,671  crore  out  of  which  Central  Government  would provide  Rs.  5000  crore  and  an  equal  amount  on  a  matching  basis,  is  to  be provided by the State/Urban Local Bodies. Apart from these, rest of the funds are expected from convergence  with other Missions, PPP, loans  and remaining from other sources. The Central Government have already released Rs. 1416 crore for the Smart Cities in Uttar Pradesh.

In the Smart Cities of Uttar Pradesh tenders have been issued in 74 projects worth Rs. 3658.15 crore, work orders have been issued in 289 projects worth Rs. 7188.32 crore and work has been completed in 136 projects amounting to Rs. 4834.63 crore.
