Common Municipalities Smart Service Portal (CMSSP) is a web portal hosted by the NDMC Smart City Limited (NDMC SCL). The need for a portal for smart cities was highlighted by the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor (LG) of NCT of Delhi, Shri Anil Baijal on February 5, 2021 during the meeting of Commissioner's of DMCs, Chairman NDMC and Members of Civil Society. He emphasized that a portal should be created to serve as a one-stop information portal that would not only highlight the best practices of various projects in NDMC as well as other Municipal Bodies of Delhi but also invite sugesstions from the public through crowd sourcing and document their success and challenges in implementing various Smart City projects.

The portal candidly underscores the project experiences and highlights the steps taken by Municipalities to overcome the challenges. The areas that require urgent attention is pointed out. Towards this, the portal is created to be interactive by enabling the Municipalities to exchange their ideas on a common platform.

The overarching objective is the mutual learning for relevant stakeholders in the delivery of smart services and utilities for the overall well-being of the population and stride towards 21st century New India.

In pursuit of the CMSSP portal, the NDMC has opened the discourse of transparent e-governance and m-governance. It would be the torchbearer of the open knowledge source and lighthouses for national and international good practices for sustainable governance. By seeking to remove the gap in planned strategies and implementation, this portal will ultimately realize the goal of a pro-active governance system for the benefit of the Municipalities.
