Modern Infrastructure, High-Speed Connectivity and Citizen-Centric Growth Transform the Capital

India’s capital, Delhi, is no longer just a city of buildings—it is fast emerging as a model of planned development, seamless connectivity, and robust infrastructure. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the past year has demonstrated that when intent is clear and governance is citizen-centric, change is visible not merely in announcements, but on roads, flyovers, metro corridors, university campuses, villages, and colonies across the city.

Working in close coordination with the Government of India, the Delhi Government has set in motion infrastructure projects worth approximately ₹1.25 lakh crore to make the capital decongested, green, and future-ready. With the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proactive state leadership, Delhi is steadily becoming synonymous with both speed and progress.

A New Era of Mobility: Expressways, Corridors & Signal-Free Roads

Major projects such as the recently inaugurated Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) have significantly enhanced connectivity. Commuters can now travel from Singhu Border to the airport in just 40 minutes.

Adding to this momentum, the 6-lane Nand Nagri–Gagan Cinema flyover, built at a cost of ₹180 crore, has been dedicated to the people. Spanning 1,550 meters in length and 22 meters in width, it benefits over one lakh vehicles daily, saving nearly 14 minutes per vehicle while reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. A long-pending project, it was completed within six months—reflecting a results-driven governance model.
