One room in Paldi watches the city's cameras and retimes its traffic signals. How many cameras? 6,000 or 7,000 on the operator's own pages, and more than 5,500 by a city committee chair's count.

The municipal corporation's smart-city company SCADL runs an integrated command and control centre in Paldi, operating since 2018; the company's published address is the building itself. By its own account the video walls carry live feeds from more than 7,000 cameras across the city, backed by 30,000-plus sensors and surveillance devices, an on-premise data centre, variable message displays, a public address network, an adaptive traffic control layer that retimes signals, and a monsoon flood view of underpasses and junctions. The same company lists bus-fleet tracking, water-network SCADA and street-light dashboards among its other city-wide projects. In June 2026 the municipal corporation said it would watch the monsoon from the Paldi control room through 1,790 cameras, 1,746 of them Smart City cameras.

🎓 Lesson

Integrated command centres are the standard product of India's Smart Cities Mission and are described in near-identical language from city to city. Ahmedabad's is demonstrably in use — but every figure describing what it achieves comes from the city that built it, and the city cannot agree on the camera count: 6,000 on one project page of its smart-city company, 7,000 on another, and more than 5,500 connected to the centre according to the chair of the municipal standing committee in December 2024. Treat the genre's numbers as procurement copy until someone outside counts.

↗ Smart City Ahmedabad Development Limited, ABD Projects (operator)Verbatim: 'The Integrated Command and Control Center located in Paldi Area ... with 24*7 live monitoring of more than 7000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras spread across the city.' Also describes the flood use case: 'area-wise live monitoring in monsoon especially at under bridge and junctions in city'.
↗ Smart City Ahmedabad Development Limited, Pan City Projects (operator)Verbatim: 'Video walls for real-time monitoring of city functions through 6,000+ surveillance cameras'; 'Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) monitor real time traffic conditions and use artificial intelligence as well as machine learning technology to improve signal timing'; 'Integrated System with over 30,000 sensors, surveillance devices, on-premise data centre and data analytic tools'. Note the 6,000+ here versus 'more than 7000' on the ABD page and a homepage counter reading 7,200 — the discrepancy is the operator's, not the atlas's.
↗ Smart City Ahmedabad Development Limited, Awards & Recognition (operator)Dates the centre: the awards list records '2018 Control Room of the year - SECONA sheild award', '2018 Safe City project of the year - SECONA sheild award' and '2019 Safe City award (Safe And Secure Ahmedabad) – Smart City Mission', so the centre was operating in 2018. The homepage counters give 7,200 cameras across 1,000+ locations, 24,000 smart street lights, 50 environmental sensors, 126 variable messaging displays, 179 Wi-Fi locations and 30 smart toilets. NOTE: news reports date the Paldi inauguration to 23 February 2018 and put the cost at ₹239 crore, but those pages (Businessworld, DeshGujarat) returned 403 to us and the figures are therefore NOT used in this entry.
↗ DeshGujarat — Ahmedabad to have 2,000 AI-enabled CCTV cameras (27 December 2024)Reports a standing committee decision to add 2,000 AI-enabled CCTV cameras and quotes the committee chair saying more than 5,500 cameras are connected to the municipal corporation's command and control centre.
