AMRUT 2.0, the urban counterpart to Jal Jeevan Mission's rural water push, has approved ₹1.97 lakh crore across 8,777 projects nationally. Water supply alone is 41% of that project count but 60% of the money — the single most capital-intensive line item in India's urban infrastructure programme. What the public data can't tell you, unlike its rural counterpart, is how much of that money has actually been spent.
AMRUT's ₹1.97 Lakh Crore Urban Portfolio: Water Supply Is 41% of Projects, 60% of the Money
Four components, one portfolio
Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0, run by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, funds four categories of urban infrastructure through its state governments and Urban Local Bodies: Water Supply, Sewerage & Septage Management, Water Body Rejuvenation, and Parks & Green Space Development. The Ministry's own public, no-login "State Wise List of Approved Projects" page puts the current national total at 8,777 projects worth ₹1,97,201.55 crore. Every state and UT total below is pulled directly from that live page.

Water supply carries the money, not the project count
Water Supply is 41% of AMRUT's project count nationally but 60% of its total cost — by a wide margin the most capital-intensive of the four components. Sewerage & Septage Management, despite being only 7% of project count, still accounts for 36% of the total AMRUT cost — both water supply and sewerage are infrastructure-heavy, capital-intensive categories, unlike Water Body Rejuvenation and Parks & Green Space, which together are 26% of project count but just 3.6% of total spend.
The national figure cross-checks cleanly against an August 2026 Lok Sabha answer on AMRUT 2.0 (previously covered on this blog in the JJM rural-water piece): that answer put water supply at 3,572 projects worth ₹1,18,968.38 crore — within 0.01% of this page's 3,572 projects and ₹1,18,952.82 crore. Two independently-maintained government sources agreeing this closely is itself a useful confirmation that the underlying project count is stable, not still being actively revised.
What this table can't tell you
This is a count-and-cost table, not a progress table. Unlike Jal Jeevan Mission's rural-water reporting — covered in India's ₹7.9 Lakh Crore Rural Water Pipeline: What "Upcoming" Actually Means, State by State, which has a clean, pre-aggregated Completed/Ongoing/Work-order-not-issued split for every state — AMRUT's public reporting has no equivalent state-wise status summary. Individual AMRUT projects do carry a status field (labelled "Milestone" in the portal's own project-level views, e.g. "Contract Awarded"), reachable by drilling state → city → project through the AMRUT Universe portal, but there is no single published table that rolls that status up by state the way JJM's "Format B15" does. That's not a gap in this piece's research — it's a gap in what MoHUA has chosen to pre-aggregate and publish; the Ministry of Jal Shakti built and published that specific rollup for JJM, and MoHUA has not built the equivalent for AMRUT.
One MoHUA-published PDF looked like it might fill the gap — "Status of Water Supply Projects with Water Treatment Plants" — but checking all 910 project rows in it found essentially every one carries the identical status, "Contract Awarded." That's not a completion breakdown; it's a snapshot scoped to one single milestone stage, not a status distribution across stages.
Sources and caveats
All state-wise project counts and costs are drawn directly from the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs' AMRUT Universe portal, "State Wise List of Approved Projects" (amrut.mohua.gov.in/approvedProjects/state), a live, public, no-login page, graded strong as a primary government source. The cross-check against the Lok Sabha figure (3,572 projects / ₹1,18,968.38 crore) is drawn from a Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs written reply in the Lok Sabha, answered 06.08.2026, a primary parliamentary source, graded strong. The existence of a per-project "Milestone" status field, reachable via state → city → project drill-down with encrypted (non-sequential) IDs, was confirmed directly by navigating the portal; this piece did not attempt to enumerate all cities or projects given the scale involved. The "Status of Water Supply Projects with Water Treatment Plants" PDF (910 rows, dated as on 02.03.2026) was downloaded and checked directly; the finding that essentially all rows share the "Contract Awarded" status is this piece's own text-extraction and pattern count, graded strong for what was checked, though the PDF's dense, wrapped multi-line table formatting means a small number of rows could have been missed or misparsed.
