One room in Paldi carries the cameras, the traffic signals, the buses, the water network and the street lights. Its operator cannot keep its own camera count straight — 6,000, 7,000 or 7,200, depending which of its pages you read.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

The municipal corporation's smart-city company SCADL runs an integrated command and control centre in Paldi, operating since 2018; the company's registered address is the building itself. By its own account the video walls carry live feeds from more than 7,000 cameras across the city, backed by 30,000-plus sensors and surveillance devices, an on-premise data centre, 126 variable message displays, a public address network, an adaptive traffic control layer that retimes signals, and a monsoon flood view of underpasses and junctions. The same centre hosts the bus fleet, water SCADA and street-light dashboards, which is what makes it the single point of failure for most of the city's instrumentation.
🎓 Lesson
Integrated command centres are the standard product of India's Smart Cities Mission and are described in near-identical language from city to city. Ahmedabad's is demonstrably in use — but every figure describing what it achieves comes from the body that built it, and that body's own pages cannot agree on the camera count: 6,000 on one project page, 7,000 on another, 7,200 on the homepage counter. Treat the genre's numbers as procurement copy until someone outside counts.
