Play smart with companies expected to benefit from GOI’s flagship Smart City project
Investment Rationale
The Government’s ‘Smart City Mission’ was launched in 2015 with an aim to revamp and transform 100 cities to the highest level of urbanisation
- Allocation towards Smart Cities Mission (in conjunction with AMRUT, another urban development scheme) was ~₹14,000cr in Budget 2025-2026.
- Apart from this, another ~₹80,000cr was set aside for urban infra projects like transport, sanitation, housing etc.
- India requires smart cities because of rapid urbanisation, which exerts immense pressure on urban infrastructure and quality of life in cities.
- Smart cities will be developed to improve the standard of living through excellent public transportation, efficient energy and water supply, modern sanitation facilities, core infrastructure and a safe, secure & stable environment
This smallcase has companies that are participating in this project & will help build smart cities that will improve the quality of life of urban India.
About the Manager
smallcase is played out
This smallcase is not being tracked and will not have any further rebalance updates
Reason for played out:
The Smart Cities Mission, launched in 2015 to upgrade infrastructure and build technology-driven urban infrastructure across 100 cities, officially concluded last year, after achieving over 95% project completion. While the Mission formally ended, some projects continued to be completed by state governments and urban local bodies under transition arrangements.
With the Mission and its transition phase now effectively complete, the multi-year public spending cycle that many companies in this smallcase were positioned to benefit from has largely run its course. As a result, the sector-specific tailwind underpinning the original investment thesis is no longer expected to persist. As a result, this smallcase is being phased out.
Since January 2019, this smallcase has generated a compounded annual return of ~15%.
