The plan seeks to reshape the city's drainage network at an estimated cost of ₹57,000 crore, with the Centre pledging financial assistance to support its rollout.

The plan has divided the city into three basins-Najafgarh, Barapullah and Trans-Yamuna-and hired consultants to redesign the drainage network.

"The Central government will be helping the state to implement the drainage master plan," said Khattar.
