NEW DELHI: Ahmedabad, which was the 18th cleanest city last year across all categories, was declared the cleanest city in the million-plus cities (population of over one million) category in the Swachh Survekshan (Urban) 2024-25 Awards, even as past winners such as Indore were elevated to the new Super Swachh League (SSL) introduced this year.

President Droupadi Murmu presented the awards at an event organised by the ministry of housing and urban affairs (MoHUA) in the Capital on Thursday. The Swachh Survekshan Awards, organised under the Centre's Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, is publicised by the government as the world's largest urban sanitation and cleanliness survey.

Ahmedabad was ranked 15th in the million-plus cities category in last year's ranking. While Ahmedabad scored 12,079 points, Bhopal, Lucknow, Raipur, and Jabalpur were the next best-performing cities in the same population category with scores of 12,067, 12,001, 11,996, 11,989, respectively, out of a total of 12,500.
