1. The European Business and Technology Centre (EBTC) has commissioned its EU
Smart Cities Knowledge & Innovation Program to support the ambitious and
enterprising projects of the Government in India at the Municipal, State and Central
level for (Re) Development of smart infrastructure for cities, ports as Greenfield and
Brownfield projects. European Governments and companies have best practices,
policy frameworks and technology solutions that have been practiced and
implemented in European cities and have a great potential for India’s cities.
The proposed / announced projects in India for Smart Infrastructure include:
1. 100 Smart Cities to be (Re) developed in 5 years: The first cities have
been announced and budgets are defined to initiate the first projects.
2. Port Cities: The aim is to develop land with ports and cities with a coastal line
as smart port cities. The Ministry of Port and Shipping has announced the project
and initiated the planning.
3. New Greenfield cities by the Central and State Governments: Navi
Mumbai South smart city in Maharashtra by CIDCO where project work has
already started. The DMIC project, GIFT city and other projects along the
proposed Industrial Corridor.
4. Projects by Private Real Estate Companies and Consortia as part of
the expansion of the Metros: Lavasa City by HCC near Pune, Maharashtra
amongst other private developments.
This industry driven Program will integrate European solutions into one platform,
which will be positioned and presented to the Indian stakeholders at the conceptual
and operational stages of the Indian Smart Cities projects. The program will create a
Body of Knowledge (BOK) with resources from technologies and innovative solutions
from European companies, frame works, best practices, case studies and standards
from European Governments and Municipalities that will be shared with all relevant
Indian Smart Cities stakeholders.
