Delhi Chief Minister Clears Rs 12 bn Grant For DTC

13 Feb 2026 CW Team

The grant is expected to assist the corporation in meeting short term cash requirements and in maintaining regular services across routes. Administrative accounts and audits will guide allocation within DTC, and the administration will oversee utilisation to ensure operational continuity. The funding arrives amid broader discussions on urban transport financing and the fiscal interplay between municipal and state bodies. Observers noted that sustained revenue support can affect service frequency and maintenance planning.

The administration's decision aims to prevent abrupt disruptions that could affect daily commuters and surface transport networks. Officials also signalled that the grant would ease pressures on staffing costs and supplier payments, thereby allowing the corporation to focus on service reliability. The approval has been framed as a stabilising measure rather than a long term restructuring plan, and further policy steps were left to follow up reviews. Analysts said programme monitoring will be important to assess outcomes.

The corporation will be expected to report on utilisation and service metrics as the grant is deployed, and the administration will retain oversight of fund flows. Stakeholders emphasised the need for transparency in disbursement and for measures that promote fiscal sustainability for public transport. The grant is likely to shape short term operational prospects for the DTC while broader reforms remain a separate agenda. The administration indicated continued engagement with relevant agencies to align financial support with service delivery goals.
