Last updated 8 Jul 2026
What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will transform 100 cities into smart cities with world-class infrastructure, integrated command and control centres, intelligent traffic management, smart water and waste management, and digital governance platforms under the Smart Cities Mission.”
Our Assessment
While all 100 cities have been selected and projects worth Rs 1.7 lakh crore tendered, only 68% of projects have been completed. Several cities lag behind significantly on implementation timelines.
