NEW DELHI: As part of the plan, five of Delhi's biggest shopping centres - in Kamla Nagar, Khari Baoli, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and Kirti Nagar - will go under the knife, the Gandhi Nagar wholesale garment market will be upgraded, and the state government will launch its own online marketplace, with at least 100,000 traders on board, said officials familiar with the matter.
"The five retail hubs will be redeveloped and beautified as per their specific requirements, ensuring that they remain true to their local essence while embracing a modern outlook," Kejriwal said in a statement after the review meeting, which was also attended by state industries minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and other senior government officials.
The revamp, according to officials, will include ground-up facelifts, infrastructural reforms and the installation of basic amenities to improve accessibility.
During the meeting, Kejriwal asked officials to kick work off on all the projects within the next few weeks.
The plans were all originally announced on June 21 last year, as a key arm of the state government's 2022 Rozgaar Budget, which was aimed at shoring up employment in the Capital, largely by reforming markets and improving the interface between buyers and sellers.
However, these ideas failed to lift off because of procedural delays and a lack of coordination between the state government and the previous MCD, which was run by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Stakeholders welcomed the revamp plan.
