Nothing concrete happening at this front at the moment, only thing I am hearing is conflict between the local municipalities and Smart City planners.

You can use word "nothing".
Some cities are doing well, some are slow meanwhile some are stalled.
So, there's everything.:)

Nine islands chosen for Singapore-like tourism boost
(Representative image.)
NEW DELHI: The azure seas and white coral beaches of Lakshadweep and the tropical lushness of Andaman & Nicobar have been identified as tourismgrowth zones with nine islands selected as part of a Niti Aayog master plan.
The islands are being seen as drivers of tourism and sustainable economic development on the lines of countries like Singapore that use water parks and natural resources to promote tourism, overcoming limited land areas while being mindful of conservation. Given ecological sensitivity of the islands, capacities will be limited, though current options for tourists will be improved.
Options in Lakshadweep, which is seen as a highend tourism destination, are limited compared to Andaman & Nicobar. Among the islands identified are Smith Island, Ross Island, Avis Island and Long Island in Andaman & Nicobar. In the Lakshadweep, Bangaram, Thinnakara, Suheli, Cheriyam and Minicoy are among those slotted for development. Tourist facilities in Lakshadweep are currently limited to Bangaram and a few other islands.
"We are working on a masterplan for sustainable development of the nine islands," said Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant.
The inclusion of Little Andaman, the biggest island in the chain with an area of 734.34 sqkm, almost equal in size to Singapore, came in for detailed discussion. According to Vivek Rae, former petroleum secretary who served as chief secretary of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Singapore has earmarked 10% of of its area for parks and natural resources and is also ranked fourth globally in the environment performance index.
In contrast 90% of the Andaman & Nicobar islands are notified as reserved or deemed forest with only 6% of land available for development. The plan has gained momentum after a recent PMO announcement that the islands will be selected for infrastructure, tourism, agriculture (organic and fisheries) and renewable energy development.
