01 Oct 2026 Editorial Team
The Delhi government has
approved a pilot multi-utility
duct project in Chandni Chowk
to streamline underground utility
management in the historic
commercial district. The system
will integrate services such as
electricity, telecommunications
and other utility networks into a
shared underground corridor.
The initiative aims to reduce
repeated road excavations,
improve maintenance efficiency
and enhance urban aesthetics.
The pilot project will help
evaluate the feasibility of
implementing similar
infrastructure solutions across
other densely populated areas
of Delhi.
