SMART CITY MISSION

A Smart City can be viewed as an urban innovation and transformation that aims to harness physical
infrastructures, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), knowledge resources, and social
infrastructures for economic regeneration, social cohesion, better city administration, and
infrastructure management.
Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting program by the Government of India with a
mission to develop 100 cities all over the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable.

The Union Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for implementing the mission in
collaboration with the state governments of the respective cities. The government of India under Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has a vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities and
by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities.

The 100 potential smart cities were nominated by all the states and union territories based on Stage 1
criteria, prepared smart city plans which were evaluated in stage 2 of the competition for prioritizing
cities for financing. In the first round of this stage, 20 top scorers were chosen for financing during
2015-16.
Next set of 13 cities have made it to the Fast Track round. With the third batch of 27 cities, the total
number of Smart Cities chosen rises to 60. The process for selection of the remaining 40 cities would
start in January.

The Smart City implementation is now spread to 27 states and Union Territories. The new cities are
from 12 states and have proposed to invest a total of Rs. 66,883 crore under their respective Smart City
plans. The amount includes Rs. 42,524 crore in Area-based development and Rs. 11,379 crore in Pan
