Rs 16.65 Billion AMRUT 2.0 Funds Approved For J&K, Minimal Spend

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has revealed that under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 scheme, the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir was allocated Rs 16.65 billion. However, only Rs 110 million has been spent so far.
The Minister said the scheme aims to improve water supply, sewerage, and green spaces in urban areas. He stressed the importance of timely project implementation to ensure that residents benefit from the infrastructure upgrades.
Officials attributed the slow utilisation to delays in tendering, administrative approvals, and project planning. The Centre has urged the UT administration to expedite execution to meet the scheme’s objectives.
