In its seventh year, �7th SMART URBANATION 2022� will bring together all ‘Smart City� stakeholders to debate and decode challenges and solutions for India’s smart cities journey. Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Smart Cities Mission completes seven years on June 25, 2022. The mission initially included 100 cities, with the project completion deadline between 2019 and 2023. Against the commitment of Rs 48,000 crore over five years and a matching equivalent amount to be released by the states, the Centre has [so far] released a total of Rs 28,413.60 crore and 83 per cent of it has been used. However, the mission has been able to utilise only 49 per cent of the committed amount across 100 cities. So far, smart cities have tendered out 6,721 projects worth Rs 1,88,507 crore; work orders have been issued in 6,124 projects worth Rs 1,62,908 crore; 3,421 projects worth Rs 58,735 crore have been completed.
