The components of the AMRUT consist of capacity building, reform implementation, water supply, sewerage and septage management, storm water drainage, urban transport and development of green spaces and parks. During the process of planning, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will strive to include some smart features in the physical infrastructure components.
The details of the Mission components are given below.
Water Supply
Water supply systems including augmentation of existing water supply, water treatment plants and universal metering.
Rehabilitation of old water supply systems, including treatment plants.
Rejuvenation of water bodies specifically for drinking water supply and recharging of ground water.

Projects will be executed by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).
Step 3: Offline application — step 3
In case the ULBs do not have adequate capacity to handle projects, the State Government may recommend in State Annual Action Plan (SAAP), upon a Resolution passed by the ULB, for the execution of the projects by specialized parastatal agencies of the State or Central Governments. Such arrangements should necessarily be executed by way of a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) amongst the State Government, the specialized Parastatal agencies and the concerned Municipality.
Step 4: Offline application — step 4
In such a case, the capacity of the ULBs will be augmented through the capacity-building component of the AMRUT. The maintenance and upkeep of the created assets will be the responsibility of the ULB and the State Government.

The MoHUA has simplified the process for SLIP preparation and is also hand -holding the cities. It is for States/ ULBs to decide on hiring the services of a consultant.
No, but the states/ ULBs has to give consideration to the National Priorities of the Mission and the Guidelines. It is universal coverage water and sewerage (Para 5.1, 6.5 and 6.6).
The contribution of State Govt is minimum 20%. There is no upper limit on State share in SAAP. The States / ULBs may decide in accordance with para 7.4 and 7.5 of guidelines.
Universal coverage of water supply shall be given top priority. Next will be universal coverage of sewerage connection to all households.
Replacement of pipe line shall be considered only if it leads to NRW reduction in case of water supply and improvement in collection efficiency in case of sewerage.
The AMRUT Mission focuses on 500 target cities/ULBs. 10% of the annual budget allocation shall be kept apart and given to the States/UTs every year as incentive for achievement of Reforms. The reforms achievement will be a result of the joint efforts of Mission ULBs/State Government. The Guidelines of the Mission provide that the incentive award will only be used in Mission Cities on admissible components of the AMRUT.
