The Government plans to launch the National Urban Renewal Mission to help large metropolises in the country to tackle the fast pace of urbanization and migration from rural areas which put immense strain on civic amenities. The Mission will cover all cities with a population of over a million and some other towns. The Government has proposed an outlay of Rs.5,500 crore in 2005-06, including a grant component of Rs.1,650 crore for the Mission.
The Mumbai Metro Rail Project, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, the Mumbai Western Expressway Sealink and the Bangalore Metro Rail Project are some of the projects which could be supported through the Mission.
