This city has works worth Rs 9 billion in progress

Shena Agarwal, CEO, Ludhiana Smart City, elaborates on the city’s major projects like LED street lights, ICCC, upcoming tenders, the dream project of the city, and more. Pace of progress Ludhiana Smart City has seen a lot of progress over the last three to four years. Though the progress of the work initially slowed down and took some time to take off, the past three years have seen the pace pick up. We are proud to say that works worth Rs 9 billion are in progress Impact of the pandemic With the pandemic, there was a pause in the work that had been going on for some time. Many of the tenders also suffered a setback and we had to redo the financial and most technical aspects of the project. The event took us back by a year or so, but now we are back at full speed. Dream project One of the major projects ongoing currently is the renovation of the BudhaNaala project. It is one of the major rivulets that flows through the city and joins the Satluj. We are looking to rehabilitate and rejuvenate the river under the smart city – it is a big project worth Rs 6 billion and is already under implementation. To read the full interview, CLICK HERE.
