Hi Hamsika,
As per the UDM, the CEOs will be the executive head of special purpose vehicles (SPV) for each city like that for Metro rail projects where managing directors are the sole in-charge. They will hold office for a fixed tenure of 3 yrs.

I think this approach is good and prove more productivity. These Special Purpose Vehicles will be headed by a divisional commissioner, collector, municipal commissioner or head of development authority. In Bhubaneswar, an additional chief secretary has been appointed as the head of the SPV.

In almost all other cities, bureaucrats have been posted as CEOs. And a guidelines by UD Ministry has provided for appointment of CEO to run the concept and oversee execution rather than leaving work to local bodies.
