Rekha Gupta Unveils Rs 40-Billion Plan for Delhi’s Future

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday announced a massive Rs 40-billion (Rs 4,000 crore) development push for the national capital, laying out a long-term, 100-year vision to transform the city into a future-ready and sustainable hub.

Speaking at the 120th anniversary celebration of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), Gupta called for stronger collaboration between the government and the business community. “I hope that the people of PHDCCI will work together with the Delhi government, which will lead to revenue generation in Delhi and create more employment opportunities,” she said.

The chief minister outlined broad focus areas such as cleaning the Yamuna, improving education, health, tourism, and transportation. “We aim to transform the old image of Delhi and build the city from scratch,” she added.

As part of this infrastructure drive, Gupta also announced that the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has approved water-related projects worth Rs 30 billion (Rs 3,000 crore).

Acknowledging the hurdles faced by Delhi’s business ecosystem, Gupta — who hails from a business family — said that industrialists are often held back by administrative red tape, outdated policies, and poor infrastructure. “Business investments depend on these three factors. If they are in place, industries come. If not, they leave,” she said, urging reforms to make the capital business-friendly.

Reiterating her long-term planning approach, Gupta said her government is committed to executing a 100-year development model, designed to ensure sustainable growth for generations to come.
