en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Indian central government is expected to provide a total of ₹70 billion in funds to Delhi in the current fiscal year for priority projects such as municipal infrastructure development, road construction, and the cleanup of the Yamuna River. Proposals worth ₹10 billion have been submitted to the central government for approval, primarily for the Public Works Department and the Delhi Jal Board.

According to Delhi government data, the sources of this allocation related to municipal infrastructure include: ₹5.91 billion from the Central Road Fund, ₹15 billion under the National Mission for Clean Ganga, and ₹1 billion for strengthening the capital's disaster management capabilities. Additionally, the state government expects to receive ₹39.31 billion from Centrally Sponsored Schemes.

A senior government official stated that the total central allocation for the 2026-27 fiscal year is estimated to be slightly over ₹70 billion, which is about 34% higher than the revised budget for that year. In contrast, revised data for the 2025-26 fiscal year shows that the central allocation was 56% lower than the original budget estimate. Of the ₹60 billion earmarked for municipal infrastructure capital projects, no actual receipts were reported during the revised budget stage.

Specific data shows that for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the budget estimate for the Central Road Fund allocation was ₹10 billion, which was revised to ₹2.124 billion, but ultimately no amount was received. The budget estimate for Centrally Sponsored Schemes was ₹41.278 billion, revised to ₹22.078 billion, with the actual amount received being ₹12.026 billion, only 54.47% of the revised budget. These figures highlight a significant shortfall in central transfers, which could impact the delivery of various municipal infrastructure projects and service programs in the capital.
