The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has allocated ₹48 crore (approximately $5.8 million USD) to enhance waste and sanitation management for the fiscal year 2026-27. This allocation, approved by the MCD Commissioner, will fund various sanitation initiatives, including the hiring of vehicles, machinery, and manpower for garbage collection across multiple zones in the city. In the West Zone, the MCD plans to hire 50 light motor vehicles equipped with auto-tipping facilities and 30 medium motor vehicles, alongside backhoe loaders for efficient garbage removal. Shahdara (South) will see the deployment of 52 vehicles, including tipper trucks and loaders, to manage mixed waste collection over six months. The Najafgarh Zone will also benefit from CNG-run vehicles and eight HYVA trucks for clearing garbage. The MCD currently collects approximately 13,000 metric tons of garbage daily, with this figure rising to over 15,000 metric tons during special cleanliness drives. The MCD has granted in-principle approval for sanitation projects across ten zones, allowing them to invite separate tenders and expedite the implementation of their sanitation management plan.
