- (a) Under Smart Cities Mission (SCM), out of Central Government's allocation of  ₹48,000  Cr,  the  cities  have  been  able  to  claim  central  financial assistance of ₹47,458 Cr (i.e. 99% of the total Central share allocation for cities) of which of ₹46,231 Cr has been utilized (i.e. 97% of the total Central share allocation for cities).

Post closure of SCM on 31.03.2025, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA)  has  issued  Advisory  No.  27  dated  10 th   June  2025.  As  per  the advisory, the SPV are to ensure submission of their Utilization Certificates (UCs) for the GOI funds released to them not later than March 2026.

City wise details of the Central Financial Assistance claimed and utilized, State fund claimed and utilized are at Annexure.

- (b)  The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has issued advisories and conducted periodic review meetings to ensure the long-term maintenance and sustainable operational funding of Integrated Command and Control Centres (ICCCs). As per Advisory No. 27 dated 10 th  June 2025, all  SPVs are to ensure the timely completion of all ongoing SCM projects and  prepare  O&M  plans  for  the  assets  created.  The  Advisory  has  further outlined the envisioned future role of SPVs of smart cities and a roadmap for the continued functioning of ICCCs. The advisory underscores repurposing  of  SPVs  to  meet  emerging  urban  challenges.  Further,  as  per the  advisory,  ICCCs  are  to  be  leveraged  as  city  operating  systems  and state  analytical  hubs,  with  operational  control  preferably  retained  by  the urban development departments. SPVs may receive service-linked revenues  for  managing  ICCC  functions.  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.

Additionally, Advisory No. 29 on Outcomes of the National Conference on 'Making  Cities  Cybersecure'  encourages  ICCCs  towards  cyber  resilience and financial sustainability. This includes developing models to ensure the financial sustainability of ICCCs, monetizing existing assets, exploring the possibility of sharing revenue and innovative financing models.

MoHUA  has  encouraged  ICCCs  towards  integration  of  line  departments within  the  municipal  governance  and  has  also  recommended  ICCCs  to render services to the line departments of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The ICCCs support municipal governance through integration with ULB systems for solid waste management,  water  supply and sanitation, disaster management,  health,  energy,  environmental,  e-governance  and  grievance redressal to ensure efficient monitoring and delivery of municipal services to citizens.
