The Delhi government has raised its capital expenditure allocation to ₹30,248 crore in the revised estimates for the 2025–26 fiscal year, significantly boosting funding for key infrastructure projects including metro expansion, road networks and urban development initiatives. The revised budget was approved in the Legislative Assembly with a voice vote.
Under the revised estimates (RE), total capital spending has increased from ₹28,115 crore in the original budget (BE) to ₹30,248 crore, reflecting a strategic shift towards long-term asset creation and infrastructure growth in the national capital.
A major chunk of the increased allocation has been directed to the transport sector, which includes expansion and operational support for metro and road networks. Transport funding, which covers roads and bridges, has been raised to ₹16,024 crore from ₹12,952 crore in the original estimates.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to receive a significantly higher allocation in the revised budget, with its share increasing by ₹2,117 crore, taking the total to ₹5,046.66 crore. This boost is expected to accelerate metro construction and modernisation efforts across the city.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) allocation has been hiked to ₹11,428 crore, an increase of over ₹1,000 crore to support sanitation, road repairs, waste management and other civic services. The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has also received additional funding, with its allocation rising to ₹3,433 crore, up from ₹2,780 crore originally.
To strengthen the city’s water supply and sewerage infrastructure, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) loan allocation has been increased from ₹2,500 crore to ₹3,500 crore. 
In the urban development segment, the Housing and Urban Development department has seen its revised allocation rise to ₹11,754 crore from ₹10,694 crore earlier. Funding for development of unauthorised colonies has also been revised upward to ₹630 crore, up from ₹502 crore.
Beyond transport and urban works, the revised estimates also include a ₹100 crore provision for completing the Barapulla Phase-III elevated corridor, a long-pending infrastructure project, and an increased state share for the Yamuna Action Plan to support river cleaning and sewage treatment efforts.
The capital budget revision is part of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s broader agenda to accelerate on-ground improvements in mobility, basic services and quality of life in the capital region. The government’s focus on building assets over routine expenditure aims to strengthen Delhi’s infrastructure base and support future growth amid increasing urban challenges.
