Our Assessment

The Tapi Riverfront commitment has an implementing corporation, a master-plan process and active project preparation. The World Bank's February 2025 concept document described support for implementing the Tapi Riverfront Rejuvenation Plan, including flood resilience, sanitation and public spaces. Surat Municipal Corporation continues to describe the approximately 33-km riverfront project under planning and tendering. These are concrete preparatory steps, but we could not verify completed substantive works or a commissioned continuous riverfront under the promised project. The promise therefore remains Pending; the phrase 'record time' has no measurable deadline in the manifesto.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

Project preparation and planning are documented, but verified substantive construction or operational delivery of the promised riverfront was not established in the records reviewed.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

The municipal project description and World Bank preparation record are direct sources. Their scope does not establish current completed construction, and a recent physical-progress report is needed.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Awarded civil-work contracts and dated work-start records for the riverfront
  • Package-wise physical progress and actual expenditure
  • Public opening or completion certificates for delivered riverfront sections and an updated completion schedule

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
