## ANSWER

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

- (a) &  (b)  As  per  the  information  provided  by  the  States/  UTs,  as  on 11.07.2025, out of a total 8063 projects amounting to ₹ 1,64,695 crore undertaken in the 100 cities selected under Smart Cities Mission (SCM), 7,636 projects (95% of total projects) amounting to ₹1,53,977 crore have been completed and the remaining 427 projects amounting to ₹10,718 crore are ongoing. The State/ UT wise list of projects completed and ongoing is at Annexure-I.

Under  SCM,  08  cities, viz.  Aurangabad,  Kalyan-Dombivali,  Nagpur, Nashik, Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune, Solapur and Thane have been selected in the State of Maharashtra. In these 8 cities, as on 11.07.2025, out of a total 347 projects amounting to ₹16,980 crore, 328 projects (95% of total projects) amounting to ₹15,425 crore have been completed and the remaining 19 projects amounting to ₹1,555 crore ar e ongoing. City wise details of completed and ongoing projects are at Annexure-II.

- (c) With  the  closure  of  SCM  on  March  31,  2025,  there  is  no  Budgetary
- allocation under SCM for this financial year.
- (d) 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, 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.
- (e) 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, SCM was evaluated, and the report was published in February 2021. Recently, NITI Aayog has initiated a ThirdParty Assessment of the Mission which has already begun.

Further, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) had partnered with  reputed  academic  institutions  for  conducting  thematic  impact assessment  in  the  Smart  Cities.  The  goal  of  the  studies  was  to understand  impact  of  SCM  at  City/  National  level  and  compilation  of learnings to be shared with other cities and used for any future urban development missions.

- (f) & (h) Post the financial closure of SCM on 31 March 2025, MoHUA has issued Advisory No 27 dated 10 June 2025 to all States/ UTs, including Maharashtra,  wherein  all  SPVs  are  requested  to  ensure  the  timely completion of all ongoing SCM  projects. Further, the advisory underscores repurposing of SPVs to meet emerging urban challenges. States  and  Union  Territories,  through  their  respective  High-Powered Steering Committees (HPSCs), have been encouraged to chart out urban sector  priorities  and  map  areas  where  SPVs  can  continue  to  play  a strategic role.
- (g) The sector wise outcomes of projects in the smart cities of Maharashtra are at Annexure-III.
