Delhi to Launch DARPAN 2.0 Performance Dashboard

25 Dec 2025 CW Team

With the aim of improving transparency and efficiency in governance, the Delhi government plans to roll out DARPAN 2.0, an advanced unified performance-monitoring dashboard developed by the National Informatics Centre under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

Designed as a real-time, analytics-driven platform, DARPAN 2.0 will provide decision-makers and government departments with a consolidated view of key schemes and public services, enabling faster and evidence-based decision-making. DARPAN, or Dashboard for Analytics, Review and Performance Assessment Nationwide, is a configurable and multilingual platform that enables round-the-clock monitoring of flagship schemes through drill-down dashboards, KPI-based scorecards and seamless application programming interface-based data integration.

According to the government, the platform will address the long-standing issue of siloed and inconsistent data across departments by integrating multiple management information systems into a single, visually intuitive interface. It will feature department-wise key performance indicators, live progress tracking, early-warning indicators and comparative analytics to enhance accountability and coordination across departments.

The platform will be customised for Delhi, with priority schemes integrated through secure APIs. The rollout is planned in phases over 12–16 weeks, followed by comprehensive training for nodal officers across all departments to ensure effective adoption and use of the system.
