The cruise services along the Yamuna river between Sonia Vihar and Jagatpur are expected to begin this November. Under the project, an eight-kilometre stretch of the river—from the Wazirabad barrage (Sonia Vihar) to Jagatpur (Shani temple)—has been developed to promote tourism. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had announced the initiative in March this year, aiming to boost tourism in the national capital.

Total five agencies - Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), and the Irrigation and Flood Control Department have signed a MoU for the ambitious project.
