AMRUT 2.0

Government Schemes & Missions · Sectoral missions

What it is

Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation 2.0, launched Oct 2021 for FY22-FY26 with an indicative outlay of ~Rs 2.99 lakh cr including a central share of ~Rs 76,760 cr

Targets universal tap water across ~4,800 statutory towns (2.68 cr connections) and full sewerage or septage coverage in the 500 original AMRUT cities (2.64 cr connections), with a circular-economy focus on treated-water reuse

Impact on industries

  • A second scheme-funded demand stream alongside rural water - 8,998 projects worth ~Rs 1.89 lakh cr approved, spanning pipes, pumps, treatment plants and EPC
  • Sewerage is the differentiated part - 313 STPs of ~6,232 MLD approved and 214 completed, a segment historically starved of investment
  • Execution lags approval badly: a Dec 2025 parliamentary panel found only 2 of 133 sanctioned water treatment plants complete, and funds flow through states and ULBs with weak capacity
  • The mission period ran to FY26, so order visibility now depends on an extension or successor - the funding-cliff risk common to scheme-linked order books
