## ANSWER

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

- (a) to  (d):    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 Cr (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). Under SCM, a total 8,064 projects amounting to ₹1,64,811 Cr were taken up since inception of the mission, out of which 7,784 projects (97% of total projects undertaken) worth ₹1,56,159 Cr have been completed and 280 projects amounting to ₹8,652 Cr are at implementation stage.

City/UT  wise  details  of  Central  Financial  Assistance  claimed  &  utilized with utilization percentage and status of projects under SCM is given at Annexure.

- (e):  Projects  under  the  Smart  Cities  Mission  (SCM)  involve  complex  urban infrastructure development,  involving preparation and approval of Detailed  Project  Reports  (DPRs),  obtaining  statutory  clearances,  and resolving land-related issues etc. Due to these procedural and implementation challenges, such projects require longer gestation periods. Consequently, since its launch, the mission was extended four times till 31.3.2025.

Post closure of SCM on 31.03.2025, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA)  has  issued  Advisory  No.  27  dated  10th  June  2025  and  D.O. 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  (GoI)  funds released to them not later than March, 2026 and prepare O&M plans for the assets created.
