因過去研究鮮少針對印度與臺灣於21 世紀的聯盟夥伴關係議題涉入探討。印度也把握此機會與臺灣建立關係，而美國、日本已經與臺灣建立合作關係。為了促進投資者與利害關係人雙方更了解印度智慧城市此新措施，與將發生的局勢，為此論文所要探討的議題。
拓展印度－臺灣潛在商業貿易、智慧城市在印度與社會經濟效益，此論文可提供印度公民參考。關於現今印度智慧城市計畫，根據MoHUA、DIPP 單位、印度調查統計資訊(由政府提供)，參加各種研討會與藉由自身在臺北III（資策會）單位的實習經驗……等多方面資訊， 提供於此研究論文中供參考依據。
智慧城市計畫主要目標為建立一個給人民更好與更現代化的居住環境，透過實踐“智慧方針”，兼容永續性與關鍵基礎設施的設置。至今，智慧城市透過觀察已得到良好與正面的成效。直至2023 年4 月，印度有100 個城市已完成約60%的達成率。

One of the least studied and underappreciated alliances of the twenty-first century is that between India and Taiwan. India has yet to completely grasp the potential of its relations with Taiwan, while other democracies such as the United States and Japan have already boosted their cooperation with Taiwan in recent years. In order to help investors and stakeholders on
both sides better understand the chances for mutual understanding in India's smart city initiatives and impending new developments, this research attempts to understand this issue.

The extent of India-Taiwan commercial potential for smart cities in India and the social-economic benefits these projects can provide to Indian citizens are the main topics of research in this thesis. Data from a variety of sources including the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Census of India data (provided by the Government of India), participation in various seminars and my internship experience at the Institute for Information Industry (III) in Taipei- Taiwan is used in the analysis of how the smart city project is currently progressing in India.

The main goal of the smart city project is to build communities that provide people with a better and more modern standard of living, sustainable and vital infrastructure by implementing "smart solutions." Till now, good outcomes have been attained and positive
outcomes have been observed as these smart cities are getting completed. With an average completion rate of 60% as of April 2023, construction is already under progress in 100 cities.
