## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (d): 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.

Under  AMRUT,  States/  Union  Territories  (UTs)  were  empowered  to select,  appraise,  prioritise  and  implement  the  projects.  The  States/  UTs have  grounded  6,000  projects  worth  ₹83,493.22  crore  under  AMRUT,  of which works worth around ₹81,177.67 crore have been physically completed.  These  projects  include  1,403  water  supply  projects  worth ₹43,378.59  crore,  889  sewerage/septage  management  projects  worth ₹34,471.1  crore,  838  drainage  projects  worth  ₹3,017.13  crore,  348  nonmotorised urban transport projects worth ₹1,022.27 crore and 2,522 green spaces & park projects worth ₹1,604.13 crore. City wise details of Projects taken up under AMRUT is available on website https://amrut.mohua.gov.in/ .

Funds  under  AMRUT  are  allocated/released  to  State/UTs  and  not city/ULBs wise. Under AMRUT, against Central share of ₹36,036 crore for projects,  ₹34,901  crore  have  been  released  against  which  utilisation certificate  have  been  received  worth  ₹32,847  crore.  State  wise  fund released and utilisation certificate received under AMRUT is attached at Annexure I.

The projects taken-up under AMRUT are large infrastructure projects with  long  gestation  periods.  As  reported  by  the  States/UTs  from  time  to time,  delay  in  some  projects  occurred  due  to  delay  in  preparation  and approval  of  Detailed  Project  Reports,  statutory  clearances,  land  issues, Covid 19 pandemic etc. The Mission guidelines have specific provisions for formation of State High Powered Steering Committee (SHPSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the State, to monitor and supervise the implementation of the scheme at the State/ UT level. State Level Technical Committee (SLTC) headed by the Secretary, Urban Development & Housing Department  provides  technical  support  to  the  SHPSC  in  monitoring  and supervising  the  scheme  at  the  State  level.  Further,  an  Apex  Committee constituted under the ambit of Mission guidelines reviews and monitor the Mission periodically. Also, in order to fast-track the completion of projects, the  progress  is  periodically  reviewed  &  monitored  through  regular  video conferences/ webinars/ workshops/ site-visits etc. by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) with the States/ UTs. There is a dedicated online portal for tracking the progress and monitoring of projects provided by the States/ UTs.

Under  Smart  Cities  Mission  (SCM),  out  of  Central  Government's allocation of ₹48,000 Cr, the 100 cities selected under the mission have been able to claim central financial assistance of ₹47,458 crore (i.e. 99% of the total Central share allocation for cities). As reported by the States/ UTs, as on 01.03.2026, amount of ₹46,326 Cr has been utilized (i.e. 98% of the total  Central  Share  released  for  cities).  The  city-wise  details  of  funds claimed  and  utilised  are  given  in  Annexure  II.  Sector-wise  Projects undertaken in SCM are as below:

(Amount in ₹ Cr)

| Significant Projects under SCM   | Number of Projects   | Project cost (in ₹ Cr)   |
|----------------------------------|----------------------|--------------------------|
| Economic Infrastructure          | 933                  | 13,004                   |
| Smart Energy                     | 695                  | 14,324                   |
| Smart Governance                 | 682                  | 17,815                   |
| Smart Mobility                   | 1,734                | 41,652                   |
| Social Infrastructure            | 899                  | 13,023                   |
| Vibrant Public Spaces            | 1,405                | 12,249                   |
| Wash                             | 1,547                | 49,625                   |
| ICCC                             | 100                  | 11775                    |

As reported by States / UTs / Smart Cities Mission as on March 1 st , 2026.

As apprised by the Cities, the delay in completion of some projects can be attributed to varying reasons including, 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.

Post closure of SCM on 31.03.2025, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has issued Advisory dated 10 th  June 2025 and letter dated 24.02.2026 to all States/ UTs wherein the Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) have  been  advised  to  ensure  submission  of  their  Utilization  Certificates (UCs) for the Government of India funds released to them not later than March, 2026 and prepare Operation and Maintenance (O&M) plans for the assets created.
