The mission focuses on the development of basic urban infrastructure in the sectors such as water supply, stormwater drainage, sewerage and septage management, non-motorised urban transport and development of green spaces and parks.
Under the green spaces and parks sector, states have taken up 2,538 projects worth Rs 1,577.83 crore, out of which 1,776 projects worth Rs 1,000.96 crore has been completed. This has led to the development of 3,500 acres of permeable green spaces against the proposed development of 5,400 acres of green spaces and parks under AMRUT.

At the central level, only State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs) submitted by the states are considered for approval. The scheme makes states equal partners in planning and implementation of projects.
