Dalmia Bharat, Delhi PWD Revamp Under-Flyover Spaces

08 Apr 2026 CW Team

Dalmia Bharat has partnered with the Public Works Department (PWD), Government of Delhi, to redevelop select under-flyover spaces and a road stretch into sustainable urban hubs. The agreement covers key locations including Lodhi Flyover, Oberoi Flyover, Mangi Bridge and Hanuman Setu.

Under the initiative, the company will undertake design, landscaping, plantation and long-term maintenance of the sites, with a defined upkeep period of three years after completion. The project aims to improve urban aesthetics while promoting environmental sustainability and biodiversity restoration in high-density areas.

The initiative aligns with Dalmia Bharat’s broader CSR focus on community development and urban enhancement. It also builds on the company’s ongoing conservation work as Monument Mitra for the Red Fort.

Company Quote:

“I congratulate Hon’ble Chief Minister Ms. Rekha Gupta and the Delhi Government for the initiative to develop the under-flyover spaces in PPP mode and multiply the efforts of PWD and Govt of Delhi. These open and often neglected spaces present new possibilities, from re-imagining the city’s aesthetics and visual appeal to creating spaces where communities connect. Dalmia Bharat is honoured to be entrusted with responsibility of the Hanuman Setu, Lodhi Flyover, Oberoi Flyover and Mangi Setu. We are ideating how to reimagine these spaces as blue green infrastructure through landscaping and improve air quality, which is important in highly populated cities like Delhi. Our vision is to make these spaces environment friendly as well as create art and cultural experiences for the youth in these spaces and make them fun, relaxing and enjoyable.”"

The Walled Garden

I am not suggesting Indian architects are inadequate. The profession has produced extraordinary work – from Charles Correa's quiet humanism to Balkrishna Doshi's Nobel-recognised genius. However, the regulatory barriers meant to protect the profession are holding it back. It is time for an honest conversation about this.The Architects Act of 1972 established the Council of Architecture (COA) as the statutory body regulating architecture practice in India. Its founding logic was sound: to ensure those calling themselves architects meet a minimum standard of competence and to protect the publi..
