Delhi Budget 2026 Highlights
2 Free LPG Cylinders: Direct Household Support
The Delhi Government has announced 1 free LPG cylinder each for Holi and Diwali. A budget allocation of Rs. 260 crore has been set aside for this scheme that would ease financial pressure on households during festive periods.
‘Green Budget’ Vision
The Delhi CM announced that the budget has been designated as an environment-friendly “green budget”. A staggering 21 percent of the budget’s total outlay has been dedicated to environmental initiatives as the city continues to grapple with climate and pollution challenges.
Focus would be on a multi-dimensional environmental strategy revolving round a series of measures to expand clean energy adoption, enhance water conversation efforts, strengthen pollution control mechanisms and promote sustainable urban planning.
Electric Vehicle Policy 2026
CM Rekha Gupta has set a target of achieving 30 percent EV adoption by 2030 to place the city among the most ambitious regions globally in terms of clean mobility transition.
For this, a dense network of public charging stations would be installed along with improved accessibility to charging points across residential areas. Moreover, mandatory charging facilities at vehicle dealerships and commercial hubs would be provided.
Delhi–Alwar and Delhi–Karnal Corridors
With Delhi Budget 2026, the Delhi government would improve regional connectivity by focusing on the Delhi–Alwar corridor as a part of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) to transform regional commuting. The corridor would help in the smooth and seamless integration with major urban and industrial nodes such as Gurugram and Rewari.
The proposed Delhi–Karnal corridor would focus on enhancing trade efficiency and logistics while supporting economic activity in adjoining areas. It would also help in reducing travel time for commuters and commercial transport.
