The Delhi government has proposed a significant increase in funding for urban parks and gardens, aiming to enhance green spaces across the city. The annual maintenance assistance will rise from ₹2.55 lakh to ₹3.8 lakh per acre, and one-time financial aid for developing new parks will increase from ₹1 lakh to ₹2.9 lakh per acre. This initiative is designed to support the maintenance and preservation of green areas, particularly in newly developed and densely populated neighborhoods. Additionally, the government plans to eliminate the current 90:10 cost-sharing model, providing 100% funding for eligible projects. This shift is expected to encourage participation from residents’ welfare associations (RWAs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and registered societies, allowing them to contribute to the upkeep of parks without financial burdens. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta emphasized that this initiative will not only expand the city's green cover but also aid in pollution control and improve the overall urban environment.
