|
| |

The Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India launched the Smart Cities Mission on 25 June, 2015. The Mission is an ambitious flagship scheme of the Indian Government with an amount of 7.5 billion USD earmarked for investment across 100 cities over a period of five years. A City Challenge was floated wherein cities were asked to submit their smart city proposals (SCP) to receive funding under the Mission. Based on their proposals, the outcome of India Smart Cities Challenge Round I was announced by Government of India on 28 January, 2016 in which the following cities made it to the Top 20 List - Bhubaneshwar, Pune, Jaipur, Surat, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Jabalpur, Visakhapatnam, Solapur, Davangere, Indore, New Delhi Municipal Corporation, Coimbatore, Kakinada, Belgaum, Udaipur, Guwahati, Chennai, Ludhiana, Bhopal. These 20 winning cities will see immediate implementation of their SCPs through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) which are presently being constituted at the city level.
Besides, a list of 23 'fast track cities' has also been identified by the Government of India. These are the top scoring cities from the states from which no city has made it to the Top 20 list and are being given an extended Round I timeline to upgrade and resubmit their proposals by 15 April, 2016. These include cities like Warangal, Chandigarh, Lucknow, New Town Kolkata, Panaji, Dharamshala, Bhagalpur, Shillong, Dehradun amongst others. The remaining cities will be resubmitting their revised proposals in Round 2 of the Challenge by 30 June, 2016. It is expected that up to 40 cities will be identified as a result of this round in August, 2016.

TERI’s analysis on New Delhi’s odd-even scheme
|
|
|
Air pollutant concentrations have been consistently high in the city of New Delhi over the last many years. Transport sector has been identified by a number of research studies as an important source of pollution in the city. To examine ways to address the issue, Delhi Government decided to implement the social experiment, i.e. the ‘odd-even’ scheme from January 1, 2016 to January 15, 2016 in which plying of privately owned cars was restricted on alternate days based on the last digit (odd/even) of the registration number. TERI analyzed the ambient air pollutant concentrations in the city of Delhi from 24th Dec 2015 (before Odd-Even scheme) to 15th Jan 2016 (during which ‘odd-even’ scheme was implemented).
