Survey for revamp of four Delhi markets completed

In its 2022-23 budget, the Delhi government had earmarked 100 crore for the redevelopment of markets.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will be the executing agency for the implementation of the project, which will be funded by the Delhi government, according to industry minister Saurabh Bharadwaj.

During the surveys, teams consisting of government officials and stakeholders identified specific challenges in the project.

"Among the common problems in the markets are poor condition of toilets, footpaths, inadequate parking facilities, overhead hanging electric wires, and solid waste management. In some markets waterlogging during rains is also one of the problems," said an official aware of the matter.

The redevelopment plans will include solutions to these problems, said officials.
