{ SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
Delhi has made significant progress towards markers of sustainable development goals in health and agriculture sectors, while faring poorly and slipping in key sectors of sustainable transport and sewage, according to the “Delhi State Indicator Framework 2024: Status Report”.
The report, compiled by the department of statistics of the Delhi government, charts the Capital's progress towards achieving sustainable development goals across several indicators, including social, economic and environmental fronts.
According to the report, the number of vehicles per 1,000 residents in the Capital has seen a sharp decline from 530 in 2015-16 to 373 in 2023-24, even as Delhi witnessed a dip in the number of road accidents during the same period. It mentions that road crashes in the city reduced from 8,085 in 2015 to 5,560 in 2022.
While private vehicle density has gone down, public transport indicators present a mixed picture.
