Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday presented Rs 1L crore FY26 Budget with focus areas including Yamuna cleaning, economic empowerment of women, infrastructure, water, and connectivity, and pollution, asserting that it is a roadmap for making the national capital self-reliant.

The CM termed the Budget as “historic”, emphasising that the era of “corruption and inefficiency” was over. This is the first budget presented by the BJP-led government in Delhi in over 26 years, following the party’s victory over the Aam Aadmi Party in last month’s Assembly elections. Highlighting the focus on infrastructure development in the city, the CM announced that the government has doubled capital expenditure to Rs 28,000 crore in its 2025-26 Budget. The total Budget outlay for fiscal year 2025-26 marks a 31.5 per cent increase from the previous year.
