Delhi's big road makeover coming by 2026
Delhi is gearing up to revamp 402km of its main roads by March 2026, with funding split between the Central Road Fund and the state.
Major stretches like Press Enclave Road and Mandir Marg-Karol Bagh are on the upgrade list—think smoother rides and fewer potholes.
'World-class' roads, less dust, more transparency
Public Works Minister Parvesh Verma says they're aiming for world-class roads built with strict quality checks.
He's promised that resurfacing will be quick (done within 24 hours of tearing up old layers) and handled in a way that keeps dust pollution down.
Weather hurdles & smarter planning
Cold winter temps are making it tricky to lay new road surfaces, so crews will tackle one lane at a time and work closely with traffic police to keep things moving.
Upgrades beyond just roads
It's not just about fresh tarmac—better drainage systems and safer pedestrian paths are part of the plan too.
Most of the action will ramp up in early 2026 so everything wraps up on schedule and city commutes get a bit easier.
