Sewerage and Septage Management Sector is one of the components under AMRUT. Under sewerage and septage management sector, 890 projects worth ₹34,504.93 crore have been grounded of which work worth ₹32,356.24 crore have been physically executed.

Till date, 149 lakh sewer/ septage connections (including households covered through FSSM) have been provided through AMRUT & convergence against targeted 145 lakh sewer/ septage  connections  respectively.  List  is  attached  at  ANNEXURE  I.
