NMC Awaits Rs7,500 mn For Infrastructure And Rs1,470 mn GST Grant

17 Apr 2026 CW Team

Among the intended uses are road repairs, water supply augmentation and drainage works, while some funding will be earmarked for solid waste management and maintenance of civic services. The corporation has mapped projects across wards to align expenditure with priorities identified in its annual plan. Project managers are preparing procurement and tender schedules pending formal receipt of the grants.

Delay in the transfer has prompted the corporation to review its short term financing and defer non?urgent purchases until receipts are confirmed. The administration anticipates that release of the grants will reduce reliance on commercial borrowings and free resources for capital expenditure that cannot be financed from current revenues. Finance officials are in touch with the state treasury to clarify timelines and procedural steps required for the transfers.

Councillors have been briefed on potential timelines and on contingency measures to ensure essential services continue uninterrupted. The corporation plans to publish updated implementation schedules once the funds are credited, with priority given to projects that address public safety and basic amenities. Officials said the municipality remains committed to completing key works within the fiscal framework while monitoring liquidity closely.

Stakeholders have urged transparent utilisation and timely reporting to reassure residents and to attract further investment in urban renewal projects. The corporation will review expenditure reports quarterly and will make adjustments to prioritisation should cash flows require reallocation of resources.
