The India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) is set to address chronic waterlogging issues at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, India, with a new project costing ₹2 crore (approximately $240,000 USD). The initiative will involve constructing an underground sump reservoir and installing a high-pressure pumping system designed to channel excess rainwater from Gate No. 3 to a nearby municipal drain. Officials estimate that 1,000 cubic metres will be excavated to create a waterproof reservoir equipped with five high-capacity submersible pumps that will continuously drain accumulated water. This project is expected to take around three months, but it is unlikely to be completed before the upcoming monsoon season. Areas surrounding Bharat Mandapam, including the Pragati Maidan tunnel, have faced significant waterlogging during heavy rains, leading to temporary closures and diversions. Previous infrastructure interventions have been made, including new drains and kerb channels to enhance stormwater discharge. The area has seen minor waterlogging issues even during significant events like the G20 Summit in 2023.
