The MoU was executed on 21 January 2026 on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026, under the Invest UP initiative. The proposed project envisages an investment of approximately 3,800 crore, focusing on the design, development, installation, integration, operation, and maintenance of advanced AI-enabled Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS) and urban surveillance infrastructure.

As per the MoU, the project scope includes adaptive traffic signal systems, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), traffic violation detection platforms, integrated command and control centres (ICCC), smart poles, edge AI cameras, digital variable message signboards, public information display screens, and comprehensive urban surveillance networks. The solutions are proposed to be implemented on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis across major cities, including Lucknow, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Kanpur, Agra, Varanasi, Prayagraj, and other smart cities in Uttar Pradesh. The Government of Uttar Pradesh, through Invest UP, has expressed its intent to facilitate the project by enabling necessary permissions, registrations, approvals, and clearances, in accordance with prevailing state and central government policies.
