₹1 tn budget for Delhi: focus on infra, sanitation, health
Mint Mumbai
|March 26, 2025
Education received the largest allocation (19.3%), followed by transport (12.95%).
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday tabled a bumper ₹1 trillion state budget for 2025-26, a 44% jump in the size, fuelled largely by central fund inflows to revive the capital's flagging infrastructure, solve its sanitation crisis, bolster health systems, and shore up the public transport fleet.
Gupta, who is also the finance minister, delivered a marathon 138-minute speech, littered with potshots at the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led government and her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal, and punctuated with couplets by poets Mirza Ghalib, Bashir Badr and Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
