Haryana Extends Timeline for Smart City Projects in Karnal and Faridabad.

The Haryana government has extended the tenure of Karnal Smart City Limited and its project management consultancy till March 31, 2027, to ensure timely completion of ongoing works and smooth transfer of assets to the concerned departments. The extension also applies to Faridabad Smart City Limited, which has been granted a similar timeline.

The decision was taken during a meeting of the State-Level High-Powered Steering Committee (SLHPSC) held recently and chaired by Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, which reviewed the progress of Smart City Mission projects in Karnal and Faridabad.

Officials said the extension aligns with directions from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, aimed at ensuring efficient execution of remaining projects and continued delivery of urban infrastructure benefits to citizens.

During the review, Rastogi assessed the physical and financial progress of ongoing works and appreciated the pace of implementation in both cities, noting that the Smart City Mission has significantly improved urban infrastructure, civic amenities and quality of life through technology-driven development.

Ashok Kumar Meena informed the committee that Faridabad Smart City Limited has undertaken 46 projects worth ₹916.83 crore, of which 32 have been completed. Karnal Smart City Limited, meanwhile, has taken up 122 projects worth ₹930 crore, with 86 already completed and several others in advanced stages of execution.
