## ANSWER

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

- to (e): Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) was launched on 25 June 2015 in selected 500 cities (485 cities including 15 merged  cities)  and  towns  across  the  country.  The  Mission  focuses  on development of basic infrastructure, in the selected cities and towns, in the sectors of water supply; sewerage and septage management; storm water drainage; green spaces and parks; and non-motorized urban transport. In Maharashtra, 44 cities are taken up under AMRUT. List of the cities/ towns covered under AMRUT in the State of Maharashtra is given at ANNEXURE-I.

Against  Central  share  of  ₹35,990  crore  for  projects  under  AMRUT, ₹34,869.15  crore  have  been  released  since  the  year  2014-15.    Central assistance released to the States/ UTs under AMRUT during the last 3 Financial Years and current year is given at ANNEXURE-II.

For the State of Maharashtra, State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) worth ₹7,759.32  crore  were  approved  under  AMRUT.  As  reported  by  the  State Government, 207 projects worth ₹8,011.32 crore have been grounded of which works worth ₹7,451.89 crore have been physically completed. In Maharashtra under AMRUT Mission and in convergence, 11.73 lakh water tap connections and 4.45 lakh sewer connections [including households covered through Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM)] have been provided so far. Further, 445.7 Million Litre Per Day (MLD) water treatment plant capacity (WTP) and 529.5 MLD of sewerage treatment plant (STP) capacity has been developed so far under AMRUT.

The projects taken-up under AMRUT are large infrastructure projects with  long  gestation  periods.  To  ensure  timely  completion  and  tracking  the implementation of AMRUT projects, the progress is  periodically reviewed & monitored through regular video conferences/ webinars/ workshops/ site-visits etc.  by  MoHUA  with  the  States/UTs  &  their  ULBs.  The  Apex  Committee constituted  under  the  ambit  of  Mission  guidelines  reviews,  monitors  & supervises the AMRUT Mission periodically. For assessment and monitoring of work  done  under  AMRUT  in  the  States,  there  is  a  provision  for  setting  up Independent Review and Monitoring Agencies (IRMAs) in all the States/UTs. Funds are released to the States/UTs upon satisfactory compliance of IRMA reports.

(f) & (g): In the World Bank report titled 'Financing India's Urban Infrastructure Needs: Constraints to Commercial  Financing  and Prospects for Policy Action'   it  is  estimated that  India's  cities  require  an  estimated  capital investment of  $840 billion in urban infrastructure and municipal services in next 15 years.

Urban planning including Water and Sanitation are State Subjects and responsibilities of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/ Urban Development Authorities. However, Government of India supplements the efforts of the States/ Union Territories (UTs) through schematic interventions / advisories .

For  improving  infrastructure  in  urban  areas,  Ministry  of  Housing  and Urban  Affairs ( MoHUA ) runs  various  schemes  such  as  Atal  Mission  for Rejuvenation  and  Urban  Transformation ( AMRUT ) with  a  focus  on  core infrastructure  sectors  like  water,  sewerage,  drainage,  urban  transport  and parks in 500 cities . Against allocation of ₹77,640 crore, projects worth more than  ₹83,371  crore  have  been  grounded.  To  carry  forward  the  objective  of universal coverage of water supply from 500 cities to about 4,902 statutory towns in the country, AMRUT 2 . 0 has been launched on 1 st  Oct 2021 . AMRUT 2 . 0  focuses  on  making  the  cities ' self -reliant ' & ' water  secure '. Providing universal coverage of sewerage & septage management in 500 AMRUT cities is  other  major  focus  of  AMRUT  2 . 0 . Rejuvenation  of  water  bodies  and development of green spaces and parks are other components of the Mission . Total indicative outlay for AMRUT 2 . 0 is ₹2,77,000 crore including central share of ₹76,760 crore .

Further, funds have been allocated under various other schemes of the Ministry for  development  of  infrastructure  in  urban  areas  such  as  Swachh  Bharat Mission ( Urban ), Smart Cities Mission ( SCM ) and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana -Urban ( PMAY -U ) for housing.
