I have told officers that they can take more funds should they need it, but we should not see any garbage in the city. REKHA GUPTA, chief minister
NEW DELHI: The 2025-26 Delhi Budget set aside ₹10,357 crore for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), a nearly 23% increase over the Budget Estimates for the previous financial year, as chief minister Rekha Gupta stressed that the hiked funding would help the civic body solve the mismanagement of sanitation in the Capital.
"Of this, ₹3,560 crore will be for education, health care and sanitation, ₹3,337 crore will be given in the form of basic tax assignment (BTA). Further, ₹3,640 crore will be given as stamp and registration fees and one-time parking charges," said the chief minister.
Gupta, who was a municipal councillor for 12 years before being elected chief minister last month, also accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of ignoring MCD and assured councillors that the state would free up more funds if required.
