CITIIS 2.0 has been conceived  by  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  in partnership  with  the  French  Development  Agency  (AFD),  Kreditanstalt  für Wiederaufbau  (KfW),  the  European  Union  (EU),  and  National  Institute  of Urban Affairs (NIUA). The period of the program would be for 4 years, i.e., from 2023 till 2027. CITIIS 2.0 has 3 major components :

Component-1 : Financial and technical support for up to 18 Smart Cities for projects  promoting  circular  economy  with  focus  on  Integrated  Waste Management.

Component-2  :  Support  to all States/Union Territories (UTs) to build capacities for Climate action.

Component-3 : Interventions at national level to support scale-up across all cities and towns.

12  cities  were  selected  under  CITIIS  1.0  program  through  a  challenge process. Selection was done by an independent Jury through a two-stage assessment process. The scoring of the projects was done on the following parameters: (i) Relevance and Feasibility; (ii) Sustainability; (iii) Innovation and  Integration;  and  (iv)  Participatory  Approach.  The  Jury  results  were approved  by the CITIIS  Apex  Committee  under  the  Chairmanship  of Secretary, MoHUA. City-wise details of the twelve projects under the CITIIS 1.0 program are given in Annexure-I.
