## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) & (b) Under Smart Cities Mission (SCM), 100 cities have undertaken a total of 8,063 projects amounting to ₹1,64,545 crore. As on 04.03.2025, 7,504 projects (i.e.  93%  of  total  projects)  amounting  to  ₹1,50,306  crore  have been completed, as per the data provided by 100 Smart Cities.

The Central Government has a total outlay of ₹48,000 crore for the 100 cities under SCM. As on 04.03.2025, the cities have been able to claim central financial assistance of ₹47,538 crore (i.e. 99% of the total Central share allocation) as per the utilization of funds provided by them.  The States/Union Territories are reported to have utilized ₹45,772 crore (i.e. 96% of the total Central share released).

Details of city wise status of projects, central financial assistance claimed and its utilization percentage are at Annexure-I.

- (c)  to  (e)  As  apprised  by  the  cities  covered  under  SCM,  the  challenges encountered  in  implementing  projects  include,  inter  alia,  legal  issues, delay in obtaining clearances from different departments, land acquisition, construction in hilly areas, challenges in vendor and resource availability in small & medium cities, centralization of decision making in few  cities,  utilization  of  full  capacity  of  ICCCs  with  integration  of  all municipal departments and agencies, frequent changing and dropping of projects.

4 cities viz. Bhagalpur, Biharsharif, Muzaffarpur and Patna selected under SCM  from  State  of  Bihar  have  completed  126  projects  (83%  of  total projects) amounting to ₹4,211 crore, details of which are at Annexure-II. As on 04.03.2025, all the 4 cities of Bihar have been able to claim central financial assistance amounting to ₹1,735 crore.

Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has a multi-level review structure  to  expedite  the  progress  of  projects  under  the  SCM.  At  the National  level,  implementation  is  monitored  by  an  Apex  Committee headed by Secretary, MoHUA.  At the State level, Mission implementation is monitored by the State level High Powered Steering Committee (HPSC) chaired by the Chief Secretary.  At the City level, there is a provision for establishing Smart City Advisory Forum (SCAF) for all 100 smart cities to advise and enable collaboration among various stakeholders.

- (f)  A mid-term evaluation study was undertaken by 'Niti Aayog' for 'Evaluation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes in Urban Transformation Sector'. As part of the study, Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was evaluated and the report was published in February 2021.
