Delhi Allocates Rs 4.15 Bn for Rapid Rail Project under SC Pressure

In a decisive move prompted by a Supreme Court warning, the Delhi government has expedited the allocation of Rs 4.15 billion for the Rapid Rail Project. The urgency comes as the apex court emphasised the importance of timely execution and funding for the critical transportation initiative. This release of funds underscores the government's commitment to advancing the project despite administrative challenges and underscores its adherence to judicial directives.

The Supreme Court had recently cautioned against delays in the ambitious Rapid Rail Project and urged swift financial support to ensure its seamless progress. The allocated Rs 415 crore is expected to bolster the project's momentum, supporting various phases including construction, infrastructure development, and the acquisition of essential resources. This move is seen as a proactive measure by the Delhi government to address concerns raised by the judiciary and underscores the significance of the Rapid Rail Project in enhancing the capital's public transportation infrastructure.

As the project gains renewed financial backing, stakeholders anticipate accelerated development, marking a crucial step toward the realisation of an efficient and modernised rapid transit system in Delhi.
