Smart Cities Mission

Smart Cities Mission was an urban renewal and retrofitting program by the Government of India with the mission to develop smart cities across 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 mission was planned to include 100 cities, with the project completion deadline between 2019 and 2023. As of January 2025, 7479 out of a total of 8058 tendered projects have been completed, utilizing ₹150,002 crores out of the total tendered amount of ₹164,368 crore. In 2017, the Ministry of Urban Development was merged with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation to form the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The project was officially shut down on March 31, 2025.
