Centre announces next set of 27 cities under Smart Cities mission

21 Sep 2016 Evaluate

The government has finally unveiled the next set of 27 cities for financing to be developed as smart cities under Centre’s 100 Smart City Mission. The 27 cities are from 12 states and were selected after three rounds of competition, with the total number of cities selected under Smart City Mission standing at 60.

Agra, Kanpur and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and Amritsar and Jalandhar in Punjab are among the 27 cities selected under the Smart Cities Mission and each city will receive the Central assistance of Rs 200 crore in the first year and Rs 100 crore for next three financial years for improving their infrastructure.  For the development of these smart cities, the state government and respective urban local bodies will also contribute by providing fund under the Mission. The new 27 smart cities have proposed to invest worth Rs. 66,883 crore, including Rs. 42,524 crore under area-based development and Rs.11,379 crore for technology-based pan-city solutions.

The third list was announced after the latest round of the Smart City Challenge competition. Competition-based selection has made the cities rediscover themselves as they are undertaking a thorough assessment of gaps in the present levels of infrastructure and service delivery and come out with comprehensive, credible and actionable plans for area-based development and technology-based pan-city solutions. 

These smart cities would have facilities such as assured water and power supply, sanitation and solid waste management systems, efficient urban mobility and public transportation, IT connectivity, and e-governance, among others. The government has proposed to develop 100 Smart Cities across India over the next three years and the next round of competition to select the remaining 40 cities would begin in January.
