Foreword
India is the third-largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) with a
6.4% share of the worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) on a PPP basis. The country also ranks
second in terms of population, with more than 1.2 billion people, out of which, nearly one-third are
urban dwellers. The urban proportion in the country has increased from 17.3% in 1951 to 31.2%
in 2011. Over the last decade, Indian cities have witnessed a high rate of urbanisation with Delhi
leading the race, registering a growth rate of 4.1%, followed by Mumbai and Kolkata with growth
rates of 3.1 and 2% respectively.i
Urbanisation is now a global megatrend and by 2050, around 64% of the developing world and 86%
of the developed world is expected to be urbanised. Rapid urbansiation is putting a strain on the
infrastructure, environment and social fabric of cities. In addition, the existing physical, urban and
social infrastructure is unable to meet and sustain city requirements and needs an overhaul.
The new Indian government has taken cognisance of this accelerating expansion. Investments
required to stabilise, augment as well as build a robust urban infrastructure are at the forefront of
the government’s current agenda.
Indian policymakers are taking proactive steps in transforming their traditional city models for a
balanced overall growth and are looking to achieve ‘more with less’. Transformation strategies and
implementation plans leveraging the smart city concept are being developed that entails utilisation
of technology, streamlining existing as well as planned infrastructure investments in order to
provide higher quality of living to residents, creating a conducive investment climate for businesses
and optimising resource utilisation with transparency for government agencies. Budgetary
allocations and announcements of smart city initiatives across various Indian cities have been made
by the central and state governments.
The new Indian government is poised and determined to provide the right impetus and policy
environment to take its smart city agenda forward. Venkaiah Naidu, Union Minister of Urban
Development recently said, “Initiatives to set up 100 smart cities across the country by 2022 are
underway and being implemented at a fast pace.” This is a huge opportunity for progressive
companies and solution providers to come, invest and contribute their knowledge, experience
as well as value proposition in fostering the smart city transformation journey.
The objective of this knowledge paper is to provide an overview of the opportunity landscape
for smart cities in India as well as facilitate global solution providers to take stock of the current
situation and support the Indian government’s smart city initiative. A strong and stable democratic
government coupled with the relatively free play of market forces today makes India the most
attractive investment destination.
This paper has been prepared for a seminar organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on ‘Smart Cities: The Urban Challenge’ to be held at Hannover
Messe 2015 in Germany. The opportunity landscape for smart cities in India, presented in this
paper, will drive conversations on where we are going with the smart city transformation in India.
