Abstract India initiated Smart City Mission in June 2015 to create 100 smart cities in the country. The central government made an outlay of 6.55 million US dollars for five years for implementing smart city projects. The initiative aims to promote core infrastructure, a decent quality of life, a clean and sustainable environment in the selected 100 cities by applying smart solutions. According to the Smart City Mission guidelines, the selected smart cities would apply citizen-engaging and grievance-redressing inclusive principles while dealing with planning issues. This paper evaluates to what extent the smart city projects were inclusive, citizen-engaging, and grievance redressing in the three Smart City Mission selected cities: Bhubaneshwar, Indore, and Vadodara. This research found little evidence that the smart city projects complied with their inclusive policy commitments. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
