The deadline for completing projects under the Smart Cities Mission (SCM) was extended for all 100 participating cities to June 2023 due to the delays caused by COVID-19 and based on a NITI Aayog recommendation in August, according to Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry sources.
About:
The Ministry informed the Lok Sabha on Thursday that “the period of implementation of SCM has been extended to June 2023”.
Though announced in 2015, the SCM was conducted as a competition with cities being selected from 2016 to 2018.
The cities were given five years to complete the projects under the mission, with the first set of Smart Cities expected to complete in 2021, but a mid-term evaluation found that further work needed to be done to complete the projects.
