Capital outlay has been increased from Rs 28,115 crore in the original Budobtain Estimates (BE) to Rs 30,248 crore under the Revised Estimates (RE), reflecting a sharper focus on long-term infrastructure creation.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who also holds the Finance portfolio, presented the supplementary demands for grants in the Delhi Assembly, which were cleared through a voice vote.

Spfinishing on transport, including roads and bridges, has been raised sharply from Rs 12,952 crore to Rs 16,024 crore. Education allocations have climbed from Rs 19,291 crore to Rs 20,702 crore, pushing the sector’s share to 21 per cent of Delhi’s Rs 1 lakh crore budobtain.
Houtilizing and urban development has also seen higher support, with revised estimates rising to Rs 11,754 crore.
Funding for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been nearly doubled, increasing by Rs 2,117 crore to Rs 5,046.66 crore.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has received an additional Rs 1,031 crore, while allocations for the Delhi Jal Board and Delhi Transport Corporation have also been enhanced through higher loans and grants.
Several specific heads have been strengthened, including road development, land and flat purchases for universities, and power subsidies, which now stand at Rs 4,000 crore.
The government has also set aside funds to clear legacy liabilities linked to the Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways.
The state’s contribution to the Yamuna Action Plan has nearly tripled, funding for unauthorised colonies has been raised, and additional allocations have been approved for completing the long-pfinishing Barapullah Phase III corridor and settling outstanding tuition fee reimbursements under the Right To Education Act.
