To augment urban infrastructure in 33 cities across India, 46 projects were at various stages of implementation under the public-private partnership, Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said on Wednesday.
Replying to a question from Nimmala Kistappa in the Lok Sabha, Naidu said the total cost of the projects underway was Rs.25,902.84 crore.
"Of the various projects, 19 are related to mass rapid transport systems, 25 to solid waste management, water supply, parking lots, roads, fly-overs and road over bridges," Naidu said during the question hour, adding that 24 of them with an investment of Rs.1,659.32 crore were completed.
As many as 16 urban projects pertaining to townships and housing attracted a cumulative foreign direct investment of $6,405 million (Rs.34,255 crore) since fiscal 2011-12.
