STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY OF PARTS (a) to (d) OF THE LOK SABHA  STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  261    FOR  ANSWER  ON  07.08.2025 REGARDING STATUS OF SCM

- (a) & (b): As per the information provided by the States/UTs, as on 31 st July, 2025, out of a total 8063 projects amounting to ₹ 1,64,695 Cr undertaken  in  the  100  cities  selected  under  the  Smart  Cities Mission (SCM), 7,636 projects (95% of total projects) amounting to ₹1,53,977 Cr have been completed and the remaining 427 projects amounting to ₹ 1 0,718 Cr are ongoing.

Under  the  SCM,  the  Central  Government  had  a  total  outlay  of ₹48,000 Cr for the 100 cities. As on 31 st  July, 2025, the cities have been able to claim Central Financial A ssistance of ₹47,459 Cr (i.e. 99%  of  the  total  Central  share  allocation).  The  States/Union Territories are reported to have utilized ₹45,881 Cr (i.e. 97% of the total Central share claimed).

State/UT wise and City-wise progress of projects as well as Central Financial  Assistance  sanctioned,  claimed  &  utilized  is  given  at

Annexure.

- (c) & (d): The objective of SCM was not the development of entire city but to follow an area-based development  approach  through retrofitting, redevelopment, greenfield development and a Pan-city initiative in which smart solutions are applied covering larger parts of the city, so as to create a replicable model. Smart City Proposals (SCPs)  have  been  planned  at  the  local  level  based  on  the  local needs  of  the  cities,  across  various  sectors  viz.  smart  mobility, Water,  Sanitation,  Hygiene  (WASH),  smart  governance,  smart energy  and  environment.  Each  project  had  a  defined  period  of completion/ implementation.

Post the financial closure of SCM on 31 st  March, 2025, Ministry of Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  has  issued  Advisory  No  27 dated 10 th  June, 2025 to all States/ UTs. The ongoing projects are in different stages of implementation. The Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) have been advised to ensure that all ongoing projects under SCM must be completed under their stipulated time period not later than December, 2025.

As  apprised  by  the  States/UTs,  the  challenges  encountered  in implementing smart city 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 Integrated Command and Control Centres (ICCCs), etc.
