(b): Under Smart Cities Mission, Central Government proposes to give financial support to the Mission to the extent of Rs.48,000 crores over the Mission Period i.e. on an average of  Rs.100  crores  per  city  per  year.  An  equal  amount  on matching basis will have to be contributed by the State / ULB. Since  the  launch  of  the  Mission  in  2015,  Rs.13846.20  crore have been released to State Government/UTs for development of  cities  selected  as  Smart  Cities  including  Rs.  1405/-  crore released to state Government of Tamil Nadu.

As on 30 th  November, 2018,  2342 projects worth Rs.90929/- crore have been tendered, of which 1675 projects worth Rs. 51866/- crore have been taken up for implementation.  525  projects  worth  Rs.  10079/-  crore  have been completed.
