An integrated command and control centre has been proposed in the 2025-26 Delhi budget, presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday, for real-time monitoring of air quality, water pollution, noise levels, and waste management.<\/p>\n

Presenting the 2025-26 Budget in the Delhi Assembly, CM Gupta announced an allocation of Rs 506 crore for the environment and forest departments.<\/p>\n

A sum of Rs 300 crore has been earmarked for “Pollution Control and Emergency Measures” to implement eco-friendly reforms, and Rs 20 crore under the “Delhi Parks and Garden Society” scheme to support RWAs, NGOs, and other organisations in greening parks and public spaces.<\/p>\n

CM Gupta highlighted that a large-scale tree plantation drive targeting 70 lakh saplings will be launched to expand Delhi’s green cover, control air pollution, and promote urban biodiversity.<\/p>\n

For the first time, 32 Water Quality Monitoring Stations will be installed along the Yamuna River and key drains to enable real-time tracking of water contamination.<\/p>\n

Additionally, six new Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (CAAQM) stations will be set up at strategic locations to provide live data for better pollution management.<\/p>\n

“Our efforts will not only reduce pollution but also ensure a clean, healthy environment for future generations,” CM Gupta said.<\/p>\n

CM Gupta presented the Rs 1 lakh-crore budget for 2025-26, which marks a 31.5 per cent increase from the previous year. It is also the first budget presented by a BJP-led government in Delhi in over 26 years.<\/p>\n
