MCD gets funding boost but utilisation & coordination key to translating into improved services: Survey

NEW DELHI: (Mar 23) Funding for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has improved, but effective utilisation and coordination among agencies remain key to translating these allocations into cleaner streets, better schools and improved public health services, the Delhi Economic Survey 2025-26 has stated.

The survey tabled in the Assembly by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday, also stated that the steady rise in allocations comes at a time when Delhi is almost entirely urbanised, placing immense pressure on civic infrastructure, including waste management, school education and neighbourhood-level development.

While funding has improved, effective utilisation and coordination among agencies remain key to translating these allocations into cleaner streets, better schools and improved public health services, the survey noted.
