        abstract = {Rapid urbanization in India has increased pressure on transportation, housing, water supply, waste management, energy use and citizen services. The Smart City Mission (SCM) was introduced to integrate digital technologies, urban planning and sustainable infrastructure to improve quality of life. This research paper presents a comprehensive study of smart city infrastructure in India, highlighting technological components, governance models, project domains, benefits, limitations and future strategies. Unlike traditional urban planning, smart city infrastructure utilizes IoT-based sensing, GIS mapping, integrated command centers, smart mobility, smart water networks and sustainable building technologies. The paper also discusses implementation barriers such as insufficient funding, data-security issues, unclear policies, lack of standardization and socio-economic inequality. Finally, recommendations are provided to support India’s long-term smart city transformation.},
