DPGS Releases Rs102 Million For Over 1,500 Delhi Parks

02 Mar 2026 CW Team

An RTI reply has shown that DPGS released Rs102 million (Rs102 mn) for more than 1,500 parks across Delhi up to January 20. The information emerged from the response to a right to information request and details the cumulative funds released until that date. The RTI reply did not include a breakdown of allocations to individual parks.

The total released amount converts from the reported figure of 10.2 crore to Rs102 million, following standard conversion measures. One crore is treated as ten million in this conversion. Dividing the aggregate figure by the number of parks yields an average disbursement of Rs68,000 per park. This average serves only as an arithmetic illustration and does not reflect the variation that might exist between localities.

The disclosure under the RTI offers a snapshot of funding flows to urban green areas and provides a basis for public scrutiny of civic expenditure. The DPGS was identified in the reply as the releasing authority, and the figures cover the period up to January 20 as stated. Further details on project-wise spending were not supplied in the response.

The RTI reply may prompt requests for more granular data from residents and civic groups seeking to assess maintenance and development outcomes. Officials or the DPGS could be asked to publish a detailed list of releases and corresponding works to enhance transparency. Until such detail is provided, the aggregate sums remain the principal publicly available measure of funding.

The RTI reply forms part of the public record and can be cited in follow up enquiries by media or residents seeking accountability. Civic groups may press for an itemised ledger showing dates of releases and corresponding expenditure heads. Greater detail would enable more precise assessment of how funds translate into improvements at park level.
