Delhi Government Forms Project Monitoring Unit for Environmental Initiatives

The Delhi Government has established a specialised Project Monitoring Unit to oversee major infrastructure and environmental projects in the capital. This marks the first time such a unit has been created to provide comprehensive oversight, from the proposal stage through to implementation.

The unit will be responsible for closely tracking vital initiatives such as improvements in traffic management, road development, air quality enhancement, and ongoing efforts to clean the Yamuna River.

As per an official order issued by the government, the newly formed unit will monitor projects from the tendering stage, ensuring transparency and efficiency throughout the entire process.

The unit, comprising four senior officers from the Public Works Department (PWD), will work full-time to supervise the progress of various government schemes and proposals.

In addition to managing the timelines of key tenders, the unit will also address issues related to air quality monitoring and dust mitigation—critical concerns for Delhi’s environment.

Another key responsibility of the unit will be to coordinate with the Central Government, preparing and submitting proposals to bring national-level schemes to Delhi.

"The purpose of forming this unit is to ensure the timely execution of crucial development projects," said a government official.

The unit will function independently from a high-level coordination committee, chaired by PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, which was formed following instructions from the PMO to streamline infrastructure projects in Delhi. The panel includes senior officials from agencies such as DDA, PWD, MCD, and NHAI, among others.

"The primary role of the PMO-appointed committee is to eliminate overlapping authorities in road and flyover construction while also overseeing the implementation of the Master Plan of Delhi. Meanwhile, the Project Monitoring Unit is tasked with ensuring the timely execution of all infrastructure projects," another official explained.

"The officers within the unit will submit regular reports to ensure accountability and provide updates on the status of ongoing projects," the official added.
