Answer - Maharashtra. For 47 projects, the state has drawn funds of Rs 6,396 crore. (Source: today's TOI. E-paper link here).
While the TOI article is based on a report that I can't find, data just prior to this report is available on the JNNURM website. This is a chart based on this data (accessable as Google Spreadsheet here).
What I can't figure out is how much of this money has come to Mumbai. Or wait, does the fact that the Urban Land Ceiling Regulation Act (ULCRA) has not yet been repealed in Maharashtra have anything to do with that? I doubt it, since the state (not the city) tops the country in taking JNNURM funds.
Yet, funds have never been a real issue for the city. Whether through the State Government, or Central Government or even the BMC's huge annual budget. That's among the reason I'm not a big believer in the theory that "Mumbai gives so much to the Centre and we get nothing back". Well, I don't know about that now, considering that the state to which the city belongs to, gets the most from the Centre's scheme for urban renewal.

Hi Bombay addict. do check this site www.kyakare.com
BA, I think I'd like to decree here today that Mumbai be declared or restored independent status from Maharashtra. Mumbai belongs to Mumbaikars,and India and the whole world. I think it is also a auspicious day today for all new ventures and seeking blessings
of Devi mother to bless my decree:) If it offends some powers to be,sorry but not sorry.
While I'm wearing the decree hat today, I'd also suggest that all
states be de-re-organised as they were re-organised in 1950 I think.
Which means they wil not fight over water, rivers, language, oundaries and such stuff.
If you think any of your readers will be offended by my comments,
please to delete it! I will decree maybe at shivaji (hyde) park!!:)
