The Rs 1.16 billion project will be implemented over the next two years to help transform Agartala into one of India’s cleanest cities. 

Additionally, a tripartite agreement was signed between the Urban Development Directorate, NIUA, and MoHUA, securing a Rs 50 million grant for climate-resilient planning and the establishment of an Urban Climate Observatory.
