22 Apr 2016 Evaluate

All the 23 cities and towns from as many States and Union Territories that were given opportunity to participate in the 'Fast Track Competition' under Smart City Mission have submitted their revised plans. The revised plans of these 23 cities would be evaluated by May 15, 2016 and those meeting the benchmark set by the winning cities in the first round of Smart City Challenge Competition will be announced for extending central assistance.

As only 12 States and UTs were represented in the first list announced on January 28, 2016, the Urban Development Ministry offered another opportunity to the unrepresented 23 States and UTs to participate in Fast Track Competition in pursuance of the principle of urban transformation across the country.

On evaluation of Smart City Plans of 97 cities in the first round of competition and announcement of the first list of 20 smart cities, the remaining were informed of the deficiencies in the plan. The regular second round of City Challenge Competition for the remaining cities included in the Smart City Mission got underway on April 1st and these cities will have to submit revised smart city plans by the June end this year.  The 23 cities included in the Fast Track Competition and fail to be selected can also join this second round of competition.

While 20 smart cities were selected during 2015-16 as per the Mission Guidelines, another 40 would be selected during 2016-17 and the remaining 40 during the next financial year. Each city selected in different rounds of competition will be given central assistance of Rs 200 crore in the first year and Rs 100 crore each during the subsequent three financial years.
