Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that in a historic decision towards strengthening the infrastructure of the capital, the Central Government has approved 28 important capital projects of the Delhi Government under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme. The total cost of these projects is Rs 1,647 crore.
Along with this, in view of the efforts of Delhi Government to increase capital investment (capex) from its own resources, the Central Government has also approved an additional incentive of Rs 756 crore.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Said that this decision will prove to be an important milestone in the direction of further strengthening the infrastructure of Delhi. This will give a new impetus to the development works in the capital and the citizens will get the benefit of better public facilities.

He said that the projects that have been approved under the SASCI scheme include projects related to Delhi Metro, elevated Barapula corridor, Karawal Nagar flyover, charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) at DTC depots and other important infrastructure projects related to roads. Completion of these projects will strengthen the transport and road infrastructure and significantly improve public amenities.
The Chief Minister said that his government gave priority to this scheme from the very beginning and continuously urged the Central Government that the infrastructure related projects of Delhi should also be approved under the SASCI scheme. As a result, all 28 projects of Delhi Government were approved on 9 July 2026.
