Delhi CM presents ₹1,03,700cr budget, biggest in city's history
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta just rolled out a massive ₹1,03,700 crore budget for 2026-27, the biggest in the city's history.
Most of the money will come from revenue, with a chunk also borrowed thanks to an agreement with the Reserve Bank of India.
Major focus on infrastructure and environment
A major slice (₹30,800 crore) is set aside for projects like better water supply, cleaning up the Yamuna, and improving transport.
It is ₹30,799.72 crore — higher than the 2025-26 budget estimate (about ₹28,000 crore) but lower than the 2025-26 revised estimate (₹32,600 crore).
Delhi is betting big on GST and other taxes to boost its income.
Gupta also highlighted that Delhi's economy is growing strong, with per capita income expected to hit ₹5.3 lakh and Delhi's share of national GDP is estimated at 3.72% for 2026-27, up from 3.67% in 2024-25.
