Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on March 24 presented the city's budget for 2026-27, describing it as a 'green budget' that focuses on environmental sustainability and balanced development.
“I am pleased to announce that we have made some special efforts to meet the needs of Delhi. This time, we have presented Delhi's budget as a 'green budget.' We have seen every plan through a 'green lens.' Every policy of this budget has an environmental impact, every plan has a natural impact, and every decision has the worries of future generations. This is why we have allocated 21% of the entire budget for a 'green budget' that will be spent to improve the environment. This budget is a historic change in the thinking of the government, where a balance has been established between development and the protection of the earth. This is the greatest need of the day…,” said Rekha Gupta.
