One of the major projects includes the renovation and expansion of major roadways to alleviate traffic congestion and improve transportation efficiency.

The investment also includes significant funding for the education and healthcare sectors. Schools will receive upgrades to their facilities, and new healthcare centres will be established to ensure better access to medical services across the city.

Chief Minister Kejriwal emphasised that the government is committed to ensuring transparent and efficient use of funds. Regular monitoring and timely completion of projects are key priorities to avoid delays and cost overruns.

This comprehensive development plan is poised to transform Delhi?s urban landscape, making it more livable and resilient. The ?9 billion investment is a significant step towards achieving sustainable growth and improving the standard of living for Delhi?s population.
