What next for the 20 cities?

"These 20 cities will be the first to receive funds, hence kickstarting the process of developing them into 'smart cities'. The next two years will see the inclusion of 40 and 38 cities more," Naidu said.

The 20 selected cities should now set up special purpose vehicles and start implementation of their proposals, prepare detailed project reports, float tenders etc. According to the minister, a total investment of Rs 50,802 crore has been proposed in the selected smart cities and towns during the five-year period.

All the cities have proposed public-private partnership (PPP) as a major vehicle of resource mobilisation, said the minister. As many as 10 of the 20 cities have proposed to mobilise Rs 8,521 crore under PPP model while others have also indicated this option. A total area of 26,735 acres has been identified by these cities for making them smart through necessary interventions.
