STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) TO (e)  OF  THE  LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 469 DUE FOR ANSWER IN THE LOK SABHA ON  03 rd   APRIL  2025  REGARDING  'PROGRESS  OF  PIPED  WATER  AND SEWERAGE CONNECTIONS UNDER AMRUT'

(a) & (b):   Water and Sanitation are State subjects and their management is  the  responsibility  of  the  State  Government.  Government  of  India supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  through  schematic  interventions/ advisories. It provides financial and technical support to the States through various schemes/ Missions such as Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and AMRUT 2.0.

Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  is  implementing AMRUT, which was launched on 25 June 2015 in selected 500 cities and towns  (now  485  cities  including  15  merged  cities)  across  the  country. MoHUA  has  approved  State  Annual  Action  Plans  (SAAPs)  of  all  the States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  amounting  to  ₹77,640  crore  for  the  entire Mission  period,  which  includes  committed  Central  Assistance  (CA)  of ₹35,990  crore.    So  far,  States/UTs  have  grounded  6,010  projects  worth ₹83,578  crore  including  2,295  projects  worth  ₹77,935  crore  in  water/ sewerage  sector.  Overall,  works  worth  around  ₹79,401  crore  have  been physically completed and expenditure of ₹72,656 crore has been incurred.

Under AMRUT Mission and in convergence,  so far 189 lakh water tap connections (new/ serviced) provided against target of 139 lakh; 149 lakh sewer connections (new/ serviced) (including households covered through Faecal Sludge and Septage Management-FSSM) provided against target of 145 lakh; Water supply network of 64,463 kilometres & sewer network of 19,598  kilometres  constructed;  4,734  Million  Litre  Per  Day  (MLD)  Water Treatment Capacity (WTP) and 4,447 Million Litre Per Day (MLD) Sewerage Treatment Capacity (STP) developed of which 1,437 MLD STP developed for recycle/reuse;  1,434  km  length  of  drains  constructed  with  elimination  of 3,708  numbers  of  water  logging  points;  5,086  acres  of  green  space developed.

Further to expand the coverage in urban household access to piped water and sewerage systems, AMRUT 2.0 has been launched on 01 October 2021 in all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/ cities, enabling the cities to become 'selfreliant'  and  'water  secure'.  Providing  universal  coverage  of  sewerage  & septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is one of the major focus areas of AMRUT 2.0.

Under  AMRUT  and  AMRUT  2.0,  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  are empowered to select, prioritize, design, implement and monitor the projects within the broad framework of Mission guidelines. So far, under AMRUT 2.0 a  total  of  3,568  water  supply  projects  worth  ₹1,14,220.62  crore  and 592 sewerage  and  septage  management  projects  worth  ₹67,607.67  crore (including Operations & Maintenance cost) have been approved by MoHUA.

State-wise details of water and sewerage connections and tap coverage as reported by the States is given in Annexure-I.

(c) & (d):   As per the information provided by the States in 2023, the tap coverage has increased to 70% from 49% in 2011 through the joint efforts of States and AMRUT/AMRUT 2.0. Further, 181 lakh new tap connections, 67.11  lakh  new  sewer  connections,  10,647  MLD  water  treatment  plant capacity  and  6,739  MLD  sewage  treatment  plant  capacity  have  been approved under AMRUT 2.0 projects. State-wise targets in approved water and sewerage projects are given in Annexure-II.

(e): Smart  elements,  components  and  technologies  are  part  of  AMRUT projects and this aims to promote sustainable urban development. AMRUT guidelines  provides  for  smart  elements  such  as  Supervisory  Control  and Data  Acquisition  (SCADA)  as  part  of  the  water  supply  and  sewerage projects. As reported by States/ Union Territories (UTs), 230 Water supply projects and 146 Sewerage projects have been implemented with SCADA. Further, as reported by States/UTs under AMRUT 2.0, 1,487 water supply projects, 235 Sewerage projects are approved with SCADA.

Technology Sub-Mission is another important component of AMRUT 2.0 to encourage start-up ideas and private entrepreneurship, and commissioning them into the pilot  projects.  Under  this  Sub-Mission,  120 Start-ups have been shortlisted so far and mapped with 82 AMRUT cities.
