Imphal Smart City


Imphal, the historic capital of Manipur, is evolving under India’s Smart Cities Mission, a nationwide initiative launched in 2015 to modernize urban centres. Imphal was selected as one of the Fast Track cities under India's Smart Cities Mission. The Fast Track Round took place in May 2016, where 13 cities, including Imphal, were chosen based on revised Smart City Proposals (SCPs). These cities were part of a competitive process following the initial selection of 20 cities in January 2016. The Imphal Smart City project, valued at Rs 550 crore, is funded primarily by the central government, which provides Rs 500 crore, with the remaining Rs 50 crore contributed by the Manipur state government, to drive the city’s urban development efforts. To bring this vision to reality, Imphal Smart City Limited was incorporated in 2016.
